I did a PacMan I'm pretty happy with. I'm wearing a PacMan maze suit/tie, and made a paper mache Pac Man head to go with it. Yellow shoes, socks, and gloves, and a PacMan belt buckle. I then used a Wav Trigger sound board, portable speaker, and rigged up some wiring to miniature buttons in my glove. Snaked the cabling from the glove up my sleeve with a Cat-5 cable that I could disconnect to keep the glove and the rest of the system in my inner suit pockets separate for managability.
When I pressed my first finger and thumb together, I made the wakka wakka sound. When I pressed the second finger, the PacMan death sound. The third finger played PacMan fever. The fourth finger had volume up and down buttons.
I topped it off with a glowing, color changing ghost about a foot off my body via a transparent PVC pipe, with styrofoam balls to represent maze dots on the pipe, illuminated from within with blue LEDs to give them a bit of a glow.
The whole effect was a 3D PacMan costume with lights and sound. Was pretty happy with the results and got lots of photos.
Starting with a brief video:

Oh that's so dreamy, like super nerd (Giggle).... Jennifer makes the noise.... waca,waca,waca (laugh), Is this the "secret" project you have been working on for like ever?

Looks great, and truth be told, it is probably the only mask big enough to encompass that big head of yours :D
