What a fun wacked out and total failing game in the market back in the day :) I believe there is a video about reprogramming the machine, maybe Tim Burnham did it (not sure).
I remember playing this in a dark dusty arcade in the early 80's when i was a kid...this must be the only pinball arcade combo ever invented..( i could be mistaken)
I remember reading about this game...apparantly there were only a couple thousand made....and they were prone to breaking down...does anyone know if this is true?
@nintendoneil could be true. It was a concern to Williams when they were developing Pinball 2000 platform to not have the same issues of reliability. They were more concerned with operators remember Baby Pacman and remembering it was a HUGE failure for them in the market. Granted a unique game, it was a total flop for sure.
The new 3d Multipin from Nanotech Entertainment is by far the best pinball machine out there. They even have a smaller affordable version called the Pinball wizard you can hook up to your computeryou experience pinball the way it is meant to be played, using flipper buttons, a real plunger and the ability to shake the table and nudge the ball. It does all this with no drivers or software required. The best PC Pinball Engine and 12 amazing Pinball Tables are all included for free.
An easy hybrid would be a Galaga-pinball combo. Just add a joystick that goes L and R, and put a button on the top for shooting, and BAM! Arcade/pinball awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!
@Stevie764 There's Pinmame that emulates pinball machines, but I had a problem getting Baby Pac-Man to work properly. It would freeze up whenever I got to the pinball part.
@Stevie764 Download Visual Pinball, it comes with PinMAME emulator. You can get this at VPforums.org. You can also make your own Pinball Machine but you need instructions to know the basics of how to use it.
Granny and the Gators was Baby Pac-man's sister game and is very rare. Another full size pinball with a video game built into the middle of the playfield was 'Caveman'
I played this at pinball expo 2008. Now I see that I didn't know how to play, but it was still great fun. Nice job on restoring this game. - thanks for the video!
There's a pinball emulator, but I couldn't get it to play this game correctly. It would just show the video part, and freeze when I went down the chute.
I used to frequent arcades all the time, back when they were still successful. Despite that, I only ever saw one Baby Pac Man machine. After all these years I was starting to wonder if I imagined such a game existed. Yet here it is, just like I remember.
I imagine this game has got to be a pain to maintain, which probably explains in part why they were so rare
friggin awesome concept

Back in the 80s, this was all I played in '84-'85. Well, that and Centipede. And Popeye. But this is still my favorite pinball machine.

Try using an adjustable Helmet Cam. You MIGHT get results, when it comes to the Pinball Side.
