Holy shit! Is this legit?

I dunno... My Bally Midway cocktail DIP switch setting card that reads Packman, not Puckman, and I feel PackMan was the original name of the game but was changed last minute.

But who knows? Someone here I'm sure!

Namco created Pac-Man. They licensed the rights to sell the game in the US to Midway. Pac-Man was first released in Japan as Puck-Man. That cocktail is probably legitimate.
 
omfg $10,000,an original puckman table top was sold for last week on ebay.co.uk in the city where i actualy live,think they are horrid little tables myself,i have owned 2 taito type (1 original taito) and was happy to sell em off.i think the puckman sold for £100 or thereabouts,was not £200.

once again,someone thinks they got a rare item that worth 1,000's and in reality it might be pretty rare but,it certainly aint worth $1,000 nevermind $10,000.its only worth what someone will pay.

I agree, these style tables don't look user friendly to me...

Puck-Man was re named Pac Man after it arrived here in the USA. Kids would "modify" the marquee of the games and change the P to an F...

Gotta love kids! :)

My $0.02 - That machine looks WAY to clean to be original, 30yrs old, and stored in an unfinished garage/basement with the bikes and stuff. No coin door either. Not saying it isn't original, but I'd proceed with caution...
 
That guy tried to sell those machines on Craigslist here locally. I am sure they're legit but his asking prices are nutz. I too think those style of cocktail tables are ugly.

Hmm, 1 tiny picture, 0 feedback, no specifics if it even works,
ridiculous starting price and BIN.

Buyer beware.

Yep, you'd think they could post more than one photo if they are trying to get $10k for it. Idiots.
 
I have the same exact style cocktail, and a hack board that says it's puck-man, but it's a Galaxian board-hack. Can't say if this one's legit, but that style cocktail is not a friendly one and not as popular as the pac cocktails w/ the upright sticks. I wouldn't pay 10 grand for it, even if it was original.
 
Yeah don't get me wrong, I wouldn't pay over 300 for it (and I'm across the country anyway), I just thought it was really odd to see such a thing in such condition for sale overseas.
