I bought my first Ms. Pac in 2006, drove up to NYC get it. Spent the next 20 years trying to keep her alive. She'd been abused long before I got her, but I remember my utmost dedication to having a Ms. Pac in my house. It was mandatory.
I acquired a much nicer, and more stable one, from @Terry68Firebird, last month, and I do not have room for 2 of the same game, so I dismantled my old one and put the cab out for free.
A guy came out in about an hour and scooped her up. He said he was a teacher and he was going to have his students learn to put a PC in it to emulate games. Part of me was happy that she'll live on in another form, but another part of me wishes I could have kept her.
In retrospect, I know the one I have now is the keeper, as the first one was the particle board version, and she was already starting to break down.. still sucks a little, though. At least my sig will live on in her.
