greenween Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I love it! I spent the weekend with a cousin who had this back in '84 and all I did was play this thing!! Today is the first time I've played it since then. Pretty awesome, my daughter is loving it too! "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."

RickR Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I've got the two player version that looks like this: It's a lot of fun. But yours is even better with that awesome sexy yellow case. Beautiful! Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioPoultry Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Cool! I love the design of this thing. There's an episode of Newhart with one of these, I remember. My aunt gave me one for a graduation present years ago. Roughly the same condition, although mine is dustier! Wanna compete for a high score?

Atari Adventure Square Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 That yellow one looks like a Pac Robot face. It will smile at you while you play. And I think me or my cousin had the blue one. That demo option looks familiar. mebbe not as much memory of it cuz the memorable gaming experience depended on available batteries I still have my ME BGalactica Space Alert. 9 volt for that one. Long-lasting recall of dat powered funtimes Kept it, natch. Would need to pry it from the cold, dead, grasp of my Bat in the locked-down gold castle to have me part with it.

Arenafoot Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Story time: Its Christmas 1980 (I'm 9), and I asked for the Entex Pac-Man 2 (like RickR's above) on my toy list. I remember being with my mom at K-Mart and in front of a glass case that had the handheld games in it, and asking an employee, where is the Pac-Man 2 handheld - the blue one?? They informed me and my mom that there was a recall on that game since they did not have the license for Pac-Man, so they were sent back. Disappointed that I missed out on the 2 player Pac-Man, I ended up changing that on my list to the Tomytronic Pac Man (like Greenween's above), which I still own today and still have the box too (and it works). BTW - looking at my Christmas 1980 toys I got along with the Tomy Pac-Man was: Pocket Simon, Kodak Ektralite 10 camera w/ case, Fat Wheels R/C Jeep, pair of GE Walkie Talkies, LEGO set of basic bricks, The Empire Strikes Back Storybook w/ 45rpm record, The Empire Strikes Back Puffy Stickers, & The Empire Strikes Back- Yoda action figure! It was a really good year as you can tell!!!!! Fast forward to 1998, and one of my first eBay purchases was the Entex Pac-Man 2 (without box) and in VG to Mint condition for about $35-40 from what I recall. Fully works and I still have that one too!! Congrats Greenween!!

greenween Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hey Radio, I'd certainly be down for some competition! I broke the 4k mark last night but was on the easy setting. This game is a bit tricky , the button timing after each move. I tried and tried, but could not get a pic of the score so it'll be an honor system thing! Pro settings, let's get it on!

greenween Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I was in 7th grade, kids would want to borrow it in class, idiots would not set it to mute, so it would get taken away!!!
