tillenterprises Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Okay, after reading the recommendations on this forum, I decided to buy one of those 96-in-1 Multipac kits for my newly acquired Pac-Man Plus machine. I e-mailed the guy at the website (http://home.everestkc.net/mdoyle/multipac.htm), and he told me that I need the original color proms in addition to his kit. He recommended "romsbytom" but he didn't have them. Anybody know where I can pick these up, and how much I'd be looking at price-wise? Thanks!

Dr Galaga Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I think Mikes Arcade http://www.mikesarcade.com has just about all of the Pac ROMS. A quick look says $20 http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.p...k&sku=PACCPROMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanD Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Just curious since I am by no means a Pac-Man expert but won't the color proms from Pac-Man Plus work? I thought Plus was just a program mod of a Pac-Man. If so the color proms should be the same AlanD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanD Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 And to reply to mylself: I checked my Pac Plus kit and they do in fact swap the program code and proms to change it over. Also add that big security module. Ah well was hoping it might save you an order for them. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Thanks, Alan- I thought, too, that Pac Plus was just a hack of Pac-Man, so I assumed also that the proms would be the same, but not the case. On a side note, I remember when Pac-man Plus came out in the arcade, and I knew that it was a licensed Midway release, but just recently found out that Namco (who licensed the original Pac-Man rights to Midway in the US) didn't "authorize" it, and were not happy with Plus, and that's why you don't see it on any of the new Namco Museum collections. This is probably old news to all of you, but I was wondering why Namco never seems to "recognize" Pac-Man Plus as one of their games.

Dav Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Yes, it will be playable but very messed up. I can recommend mikesarcade. You'll also probably need a 40 pin ribbon cable unless you have one laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimefighter Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I've always wondered why Jr. Pac-man doesn't show up in any arcade complications either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
