Post by: Superully on September 10, 2009, 08:31:04 AM
my pac-mania didn't come with the correct joystick  :arrow:

this needs to be changed instantly!  ;D

i was told that the original joystick used on pac-mania was a 4-way atari logo microswitch joystick.

@bruno: could you please check on your pac-mania if this is correct?

@everyone: i'm looking for an atari replacement joystick - so if you have one, please contact me :-*

A pair is available for sale here (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=106862) if you still need one.
Not sure if it's the right one. Maybe there is a difference between gauntlet & Pac Mania joystick version?

Nuno,

Gauntlet : 8-way joystick
Pacmania : 4-way joystick

It doesn't look like the same stick ???.


edit :
Is your pacmania pcb in the following picture, and which is it -> here (http://images.imagehotel.net/?xndqhydipq.png#null) (the two pcbs are mine).

US version (right, Atari) :
- The first Block Town only has 1 Level.
- The first Pac-Man's Park, Sandbox, and Jungly Steps Worlds only have 2
levels each.
- Spunky shows up on the second Sandbox World level.
- Top 10 Score List. Will let you write initials, before continuing.
- The "Pac-Mania" Logo has Pac-Man, Pinky, and Blinky circling around the logo.
- There's Stage Select
- Items are placed differently
- Courage Bonus this would activate once you got past Block Town.
- Total Levels : 19
Japanese version (left, Namco):
- First Block World has 2 levels. And every other world after that has three
levels.
- Spunky shows up on the third Jungly Steps level
- No Stage Select. However, if one Japanese Machine has Stage Select, you cannot
continue.
- No Top 10 Score List.
- The 'Pac-Mania' Logo doesn't have Pac-Man, Pinky, and Blinky circling around
the logo.
- Total Levels : 23
