Mappy/Dig Dug

[Paul Humbug]

Recently I saw one of those Jakks Pac-woman sticks including also Mappy and a Gamkey with Dig Dug.

 

 

How is the conversion of Mappy and Dig Dug? If it is at least 80% like the arcade it should be worth buying it.

They're >80% IMHO. Not bad.

Can you provide a link to the game in question? I did some searching, but couldn't find this particular game. TIA!

Well, I couldn´t find the version on the net I saw at TRUS and yesterday when I went there to buy some presents they had only Ms. Pac-Man without gamekey available but including my beloved Mappy. $22 was okay and it is indeed as I remember it and a hell of fun. I come to the point to say I like these Jakks sticks more and more and thinking of getting the other classics.

I think this is what you guys are talking about:

(although that must be a review of an earlier revision because my GameKey version does save high scores, although the review says it can't)

and another review

and finally, the site for the product:

I have one and find the twist control for Pole Position really nice.

I picked a couple of these recently (no Digikey, these are 5n1s). I really like the RallyX and Digdug. I would normally use rechargeable AAs but the instructions specify non-rechargeables. Standard batteries seem to hold up just fine

 

Question: Has anyone adaptered one of these for an AC to DC adapter? I'm looking at making one with a battery module.

 

I did a quick search in past post but I didn't see any recent post about this operation.
