Pac-Man V R Description

Wearing a special virtual reality headset, the player moves around inside a maze eating dots while being chased by seemingly 8-foot ghosts. Eating power dots temporarily makes the ghosts vulnerable and eating the gold dots gives the player additional time.

Cabinet Information

The cabinet is round and has two half rings at about waist level. One side of the rings lifts up so the player can get inside the cabinet. The rings serve two purposes, one to keep the player from wondering off aimlessly and the other is for the tracking system in the headset.

Game Play

The game plays very much like Pac-Man but it is played in first-person persective -- you are Pac-Man!

The headset has sensors in it which can locate the player's position in the game. For example if the player turns his head left or right Pac-Man turns left or right. Pac-Man can squat if the player sits down or it can look over walls if the player stands and looks up. To move forward the player pushes a button on a hand-held joystick.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Very Rare - According to a survey conducted by Video Arcade Preservation Society of approximately 910 collectors and their 20,000+ games, there are no known instances of this game owned by a known collector. This does not automatically mean that no examples exist, or even that only one or two machines exist.

Wanted - There are 2 VAPS members currently looking for Pac-Man V R.

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 operators 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.
