Martin and Roman Kemp go head-to-head in fierce father and son competition

Father and son duo Martin and Roman Kemp have gone head-to-head in a battle of skill.

In a duel not seen since the likes of Rocky versus Apollo (sort of), the pair faced off in a show of gaming prowess peppered with smack-talk as they took to the ring for a fierce competition.

Thankfully, no physical blows were exchanged but instead Martin, 62, and son Roman, 31, got down to business in an intense competition to become the OREO x PAC-MAN Playoff Champion.

OREO and PAC-MAN have come together in an unlikely but iconic cookie and gaming collaboration to offer fans a chance at winning once-in-a-lifetime prizes if they can beat the duo's top scores.

"Whilst Dad was around in the 80s for the original PAC-MAN, I definitely brought my A game and am happy with my score," Roman said.

Martin added: "I loved playing PAC-MAN in the 80s, that's nearly 40 years of this game in my life and there was no way I was going to take it lying down, even if he has had video games his whole life. He put up a good fight, but we can't have these young'uns beating us in the game of our generation."

Becky Latcham at OREO UK said: "We want the nation to be more playful this year and what better way than partnering with a game that is loved by all ages, PAC-MAN. All Brits need to do is scan one of the OREO PAC-MAN special edition cookies, and they'll be able to unlock exclusive gaming experiences. To encourage a bit of friendly competition, we've even teamed up with the Kemps - the perfect duo for kicking off our playoffs and the battle of generations! We hope it helps cookie and gaming fans to fuel up their snack time by getting involved."

The Kemps are challenging cookie and gaming fans alike for the playoffs cookie crown. Those keen to beat the duo can scan one of the six OREO x PAC-MAN special edition cookie packs to unlock the exclusive limited edition game and be in with the chance of winning prizes that include playable mini and life-sized OREO PAC-MAN arcades and a grand prize of a once in a lifetime holiday to Japan, to spend a week in the home of PAC-MAN with a visit to Bandai Namco's new gaming centre.
