Well, just started the arcade collection

[+Mitch]

So, I picked up my first arcade game today.

It's a cabaret jamma system with a Pac-Man conversion running Ms Pac-Attack. I'll probably put a standard Ms Pac-Man in there in the near future or maybe one of those multi-kits. Can anyone recommend a multi-kit that they like?

60 in one kits work pretty well and support your existing monitor or a VGA monitor. Usually about $100 shipped. Google RGVAC, there are always someone selling 48 in 1's and 60 in 1's.

Have fun with the new toy, the hobby is addictive!

Don't you need a scan doubler to use a VGA monitor or are we talking about two different things? The kit I was thinking of is so you can have Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man and maybe a couple of the other Pac hacks on one ROM chip with the games being selectable through a menu. Is that the same thing you are talking about?

Hi, the one I was talking about is Jamma and has several pac's,like jr pacman and super,ms,and just pac,as well as galaga,galaxian,arkanoid etc.No mod needed for vga hookup with this board,it has a standard vga out, I have one hooked up to a 21" vga flat screen and it looks great!With vga crt's a dime a dozen now,it's a great thing.

The one you mention is a Blaze board I think, they made speed ups and multi pacs. Just google Blaze and pacman and you should be able to find your way.I was looking recently and they are still sold.

If you are looking for a kit to add to a Pac board, I recommend the 96-in-1 MultiPac. That's what I have in my Ms. Pac cocktail.

OK, I see you are talking about replacing the board.

Now that's more what I was thinking about.

I'll probably have to pick one of those up in the near future.

By the way, how do you play Pengo on there, don't you need a fire button for that?

Pengo, Eyes, Alien Armada, and Pac-Rabbit use the Player One Start button. Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man can only be played on a cocktail table. One person is Pac and the other is Ms. Pac and you play at the same time!

Got it. Thanks for the info.
