I love Ms. Pac-Man. LOVE IT. This is easily in my top-five
games of all time. It is so much better than regular Pac-Man
and is beyond challenging. There is no question, this is a
classic.
This is actually a very common machine but it is very hard
to find one with good side-art. These machines originally had
screen-printed artwork on the sides and the front of the cabinet.
It is very typical to find these with faded artwork, hand-wear,
etc. I looked for a long-time for a perfect one and this was
the best I could find. It's not perfect, but it's not bad.
It's a very solid cabinet with minimal fading and hand-wear.
I could have done worse.
I replaced the stock Wells Gardner monitor with a new Wells
Gardner D7700. This is a fantastic monitor and I would recommend
it to anyone. It also has a remote board with on-screen adjustment
controls. A very nice feature!
I also added a 60-in-1 JAMMA board to this cabinet. The JAMMA
board adds about 60 classic games including ALL of the Pac-Man
games, Galaga, Burgertime, the Donkey Kongs and a bunch of
other essential titles. This is a very worthwhile mod and it
really adds amazing amounts of playibility to the cabinet.
I used the Lizard Lick Pac to JAMMA adapter and it was very
plug and play. A very easy mod and totally worth it! This cabinet
gets a ton of play in my home.

I decided to remove the 60-in-1 from my Ms. Pac and install
MAME with the MALA front-end. See links below to see how I
did it. Also, check out the videos.
