Good idea, I also have a pretty cheerleader

Wel, uhm, maybe we can give Ruth a call ?

Yeeeeehhhaww!!! 

Awesome catch! Ms Pac Man & Galaga are almost impossible to find here in Europe, except if you import them directly.

I'm happy to see you didn't miss the opportunity to catch them'  Congratulation, and welcome to you and other owners to the "Ms Pac Man / Galaga owners club"   

Thanks for the story 

For immediate release of course 



Holy Jesus! Such pictures are usually done in USA, where you can find "easily" these cabinets... but... you're pictures are ... done in Europe! Awesome

One Pac-Man and one Ms. Pac-Man just left the house with two new happy owners. Pieter and Robbert, have a save journey back guys, and thanks for participating in this deal.

Thanks Ckong, thank you for the warm welcome at your place. We just arrived back safely. The cabs are at the moment in my livingroom  , where we are eating a snack and drinking beer.
We still can't believe we are the new owners of such beautiful classics! I just transfered the remaining amount of money.

BTW you have a very friendly wife and a nice house, although if you try to find it when it's dark and really snowy outside, you might get lost

I hate living so far away from all of you..      I'd love to join in on the fun!!    Great Roadtrip!!   

[funkycochise]

Great catch.



When I saw this picture, I believed you got cocktail versions of the cab 

Panels seems to be quite clean...

keep us dreaming

[DarthNuno]

I went to the storage today to pick up an Egret 3 which I have for sale. Of course I just had to check out pac-man and galaga again. I seem to remember that both games were not working after I collected them at Paul's place, Galaga was totally dead and pac-man showed a lot of 'gargle' on the screen, so today I took out the game boards to see at home if they work properly (on a jamma cab with an adapter) and if they could be the problem. Funny thing is that on the game board which was inside the pac-man, there is a sticker which mentions 'Super Ms. Pac-man'. I googled for it, but I couldn't find any info on it. There is no daughter board, but there seems to be some kind of hack done on the board. I will post pictures of it later.

I did take some detail pictures.

Is this pac-man cab really nr 199! I mean, there were thousands built.





Who is PACKMEN? Never heard of him. 



Just some more pics, because I love it.

[level42]

Yeah, that's funny. IIRC Packman is also used in the manuals. Guess they had decided to change the u in Puckman, but didn't drop the k yet....

VERY nice low serial number, wow !!! Thousands built ? How about 100.000 ? 

[Robinholland]

WOW 
My pacman has sn 441

Many years have gone by, and I'm still enjoying my Pac-Man (Ms. Pac left me a few weeks ago   )

Anyway, some time ago I got a multi pac kit and I thought it would be nice to have a matching marquee. So, I handed some artwork to MacGyver (who else) who arranged a reversed printjob for me, with the art printed on the sticky side (how do they do that?), I got myself a 4mm thick glass plate and apllied the art today. Difficult job, because you will see each air bubble and dust particle, especially at all the white parts. But after some sweat and a lot of rubbing this is the result. Looks nice, doesn't it?




The flash light makes it look very bright. Fortunately that is not the case in reality.

Next up are two Nintendo VS. bezels, Dr. Mario and Vs. Super Mario Bros, at the backside of some bronze glass plates.
