What are they worth these days and are they worth having? I have never really thought about owning one, but I have the chance to get one next week if I want it.

I played it at CAX and enjoyed it. The mini play field took some time to get used to (it plays fast) but it was cool. The PacMan part of it is hard as shit as it seemed the ghosts never followed any patterns like the regular PacMan games do. Not sure of value, but since you get two cool things (Pac and Pinball in one) and the Pac part is so hard methinks the replay value is high. I would think it would be fun to own, and it doesn't take up as much space as a pin. PhoenixArcade repro'd the play field and side art too, so you can make it extra minty.

Is it working or not? I have one and love it, but mine was working minus a needed cap kit and some blown bulbs when I got it. They are supposed to be costly to repair as well as a nightmare to get working again, especially if there is a problem with the Vidiot board.

Did you just use 'methinks' and 'minty' in the same fucking post? WTF is wrong with you lately?

Working. Looks really good.

Should I have used "prolly"? WTF is wrong with you lately? Here I am trying to keep conversation in your thread and you do nothing but shit on me. What a jerkoff you have become. A pompous "I own KLOV" type of attitude, asshole.

You can forget about me EVER posting in your threads anymore.

Mods please remove Blowseph's negative comments. They do nothing to help or enhance my fine thread. I think it's time for a temp ban.

I'll take a perm ban so I don't have to read anymore of your bullshit. What do you think of that?

EDIT: Damnit, Im not supposed to post in your threads anymore. THIS is the last one.
 
Interesting game but I wouldn't spend too high $$ on it. I think the game play gets tiring after while, but that's just my own opinion.
 
I've played on at the Seattle Show, and it was decent. It'd would be an interesting one to own someday (or Granny & the Gators, which I haven't played, but has a similar layout), but it's not a "must have" for me, or even a "really want to have"... more like a "if the right price, location, and empty space all magically lined up, sure I'd get it" game for me.
 
Jow says, "If you call me a little bitch like 14 more times I'm outta here."

Phet those games seem to have dropped in price the last year or so. I'd say nice shape and working on a high side will be between $600-$800. If the playfield is hosed you need to drop em $130 to at least pay for the new PF overlay.

"Dude, you couldn't get a chick if you had a $100 bill hanging out of your zipper..."
 
I love mine. I wouldnt sell mine for anything less than $1000. It is in excellent shape. Had a few cold solder joints on the Vidiot when i got it. After I got those fixed, it was up and running.

Seems like most of them that I have seen have really nice cabinets.
 
There was a baby PAC here locally that looked good and was working that went for $700.

It's a super fun game. +1 on the video part being hard as balls. The ghost have ADD in that game. If there's a pattern, it's super complex... but it seems like they just move randomly toward you.

I am looking forward to getting mine working (have had it for over a year now) it will be the first time I have played it since 1983?
