Ms. Pac-man Arcade Game Information

Ms. Pac-man Arcade Game Ms. Pac-man was one of the most popular arcade games of all time and is one of my personal favorites. Bally’s Ms. Pac-man arcade game has had such staying power that you will still see it in arcades today. From 20th anniversary combo machines to original cabinets, Ms. Pac-man can still be played in nearly every city in select locations.

Due to the popularity, it isn’t hard to find a used Ms. Pac-man arcade game to add to your home gameroom. Finding one in working order should not be a problem, but condition will vary.

The most common problem with the Ms. Pac-man artwork is that the artwork on the cabinet will fade. It is nearly impossible to find a Ms. Pac that has been on location that still has pink in the on the sides and usually the same problem occurs with the marquee. One tip – If you purchase a used Ms. Pac-man, if you can find one that still has painted artwork and has been restored, that will hold its value longer than your a-typical scuffed up faded machine.

Artwork

All artwork for Ms. Pac-man is available for purchase from Two Bits. I will not link to their site because they produce arcade artwork that is inaccurate and their customer service is terrible. However, they have a license with Namco to produce every part you could ever need. You’ve been warned – beware.
