During game play, pressing Start 2P speeds-up Pac-Man. Pressing Start 1P makes Pac-Man invincible to monsters. (This was a mistake by the patcher [the Sil]. When he published this patch, he forgot to pull the cheat/test mode out of the Romset.)ConversionThe conversion kit is easily installed by removing a number of ICs and replacing them with the Multi Pac board and daughter boards. An adverage installation should take less than 30 minutes.Game IntroductionThis conversion kit includes the following Pac-Man games: original, fast, plus, plus fast, Puckman, Hanglyman, mod[ified], Pac-Man After Dark, Namco (Sil), Pacmini2, Pengoman, Pac-Man 3D, and Piranha.

Please refer to the individual KLOV entries for more information.Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Common - There are 24 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 4 of them are original dedicated machines, 4 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 16 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.Of the 42,694 video games (3,154 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 22 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records. Wanted - There is one VAPS member 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. TechnicalThe original Z80 processor is moved from the original boardset to the Multi Pac board and various chips are replaced / removed. It is concievable that a boardset with bad ROMs could be repaired by installing this kit because of the extent of the upgrade.FixesEarlier revisions of the board had flaws that would cause corrupt graphics and unplanned bridging of different games. Very few units were produced with that flaw and a replacement chip was provided quickly.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Multi Pac Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Clay Cowgill.
