Thanks for sharing! I'd like to see the sketch of that early maze turned into a real playfield someday. Someone mentioned it reminded them of Cat Trax, but would still be neat to play it as a Pac-Man game.

Without a doubt.

Here's what I think the maze might have looked on a Pac-Man machine:

This is just awe-inspiring. Like witnessing the birth of mankind, or the universe. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but this truly is something special to see. Very cool seeing the mock-up of how the maze would look on screen too. How awesome would it be if that maze was worked into one of the homebrews somehow?!

Way-cool! Glad he saved them, I bet most of that kind of stuff ended up in the trash.
