Coleco’s Pac-Man Tabletop Game Brought the Arcade Experience Home

 


The eighties passion for Pac-Man led to the creation of this miniature arcade game version—part of a series.

In 1982, during the height of the Pac-Man craze, Coleco released a tabletop home version of the immensely popular arcade game.

I had one because I was as much into Pac-Man as everyone else at the time.

  1. I really love Ms. Pac-Man for the speed that you mentioned. I have the current high score on a Ms. Pac-Man tabletop at a pizza place in my town. Of course, I may be the only one playing it. :)

  2. I was always better at Ms. Pac-Man than regular Pac-Man because it was faster. Playing Pac-Man just didn’t feel the same.

    Video games and pizza parlors, in my mind, go together like bacon and eggs.
