Cabinet InformationThe game was first released as a dedicated machine that was similar to the cabinet used for Mappy. Due to declining video game sales in late 1983, however, Midway decided to halt production of the dedicated machines early on and manufacture conversion kits for the game instead.Game IntroductionOne of many sequels to Pac-Man, this version's innovative features include side-scrolling mazes, a lack of exits and moving prizes that not only destroy energizers but also create large dots that slow the players' movements considerably.Hacks

Wanted - There are 2 VAPS members currently looking for this game. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
