I have a cocktail version of Ms. Pacman. Which version is wanted more and/or worth more? I would definitely like to have an upright to match with my other units, but the cocktail version is nicer to play 2 player and sit down & have some drinks at. Any thoughts on whether to stick with the cocktail or seek out an upright.
 
Eh - it's all personal preference. Cocktails are a pain IMHO because they take up so much more room, and I find it a lot less fun to play games like that, so in my mind, the upright is more desireable.

But, it's up to you. If you like playing the cocktail better - stick with that.

Typically I see the cocktails go higher than the upgrights (by about $100-$150 more), but that could just be my area. It seems that Ms Pac is one of the rare cases where some people seek out the cocktail over the upright because of the nostalgia.
 
The cocktail is worth more. Personally I dont like them. As small as they are they require more room than an upright. Not to mention it hurts my back to play them.
 
It seems like cocktails go for a bit more than uprights in my neck of the woods, too.

This has never made much sense to me, as I pretty much hate 'em and find them FAR less desirable than uprights.

If it aint a Warlords, I have no use for a cocktail.

Your reasons for having an upright vs. a cocktail and vice versa make good sense. Maybe you ought to let those be your criteria for deciding rather than $$.
 
I have an Ms. Pac UR & cocktail (picked up the cocktail this past weekend). I am more a fan of my UR but all my friends and family have been ooohing and ahhhing over the cocktail. As a matter of fact this will be the first game my wife will let me move into the house. I personally don't understand the appeal but it has garnished more attention than my other games.
 
I have seen cocktails go for more than uprights myself, I was just seeing if others have seen that too. I would prefer a upright rather than a cocktail because it takes less space and I don't have much of that anymore. Guess my original plan was to see if it was possible to trade a cocktail for an upright.
 
I have a mint ms Pac cocktail and I have been offered mint uprights before and I passed everytime. Everywhere I go I do see cocktails are worth more, I'm actually about to trade mine for a mint tron
 
I'll trade you your CT for my Pac-Man UR! See sig below!
