1980 Bally/Midway PacMan Video Arcade Game Machine

[jiaxi13]

Just wondring if you could possibly answer this, but i have one of those machines and need to sell it, how much would a great condition 1980 pacman arcade sell for?

[ArcadeGames]

@jiaxi13 I would expect around $300-$600 for a decent one, paying anymore than that... it better be super duper clean or fully restored for anything over $1,000 or more.

[ArcadeGames]

@AppleMacintosh128k Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it.

[AreYouLuckyWoW]

hi! would u sell me one of the bally midway coin doors you have?

[ArcadeGames]

@AreYouLuckyWoW Sorry, I don't have any spares, I would try eBay.

[AreYouLuckyWoW]

@ArcadeGames I did. They are all really messed up but I found one that is close to decent lol. Thanks for the quick response, and where do you buy your games?

[thespiderwebbs1]

i got one to,lines go through the screen, hope to get it fixed. thanks gatliburg tennessee

[ArcadeGames]

@thespiderwebbs1 Bad caps more than likely.

[TVsmasher66]

My grandpa w\designed the sides of the machine! You know, that blue ghost and the wierd-ass pac-man? Yeah, MY grandpa designed those! :D

[ArcadeGames]

@TVsmasher66 Awesome, tell him thanks for making such an iconic art:)

[TVsmasher66]

@ArcadeGames He passed on recently, and he really didn't even play games in the first place. Oh well...

[ArcadeGames]

@TVsmasher66 Sorry to hear that. Did he work for Bally/Midway?

[TVsmasher66]

@ArcadeGames Actually, no. He was just a designer and got a job from his boss telling him to design something for this game Pac-man. And went on to explain how the game worked. Then he designed, gave it to his boss, and we're all happy and healthy...

[entityk14]

@TVsmasher66 Yes Pac-Man does look weird. In other pictures, he's round with black eyes and arms and legs.

[Aldo873HD]

Nice video man. Best arcade game EVA!!! Liked & favorited.

[ArcadeGames]

@Aldo873HD Thanks, it just wouldn't be the same without a Pac:)

[Aldo873HD]

@ArcadeGames lol true dat! :)

[tlt2372]

I'm calling the owners manual service phone number.....looks like that number has been forwarded to India.

[ArcadeGames]

@tlt2372 I called and they will not honor my 31 year warranty:(

[FobbiesAreOwnage]

quick question, how much did you get that for?

[poopyroses]

I got same one! ;)

[TreasureChestReviews]

Its covered in wires and sauter...just like my penis.

[ArcadeGames]

@TreasureChestReviews LOL, that sounds like a personal problem!

[ArcadeGames]

@j18o18h18n18 Wish I could help you out buddy, but these things cost a lot of money to ship:(

[ilove1994]

I got that machine not a lie its in some of my videos.

[SILKIE73]

Very Nice Machine! I own one myself. Also a Tron too. I like your taste in machines!

[ArcadeGames]

@SILKIE73 Thanks man! You can't go wrong with Pac-Man

[MrJoshbumstead]

Can you opperate the program so the speed chip could be on it and make a video of it?

[MrAaronLadner]

I want to see this Game at Skate City.

[MrGoomba909]

It's crazy! such a large game board back then can easily be made the size of an SD card today!

[ArcadeGames]

@MrGoomba909 Well, actually back then people thought those game boards were small!

[misterintellivision]

wow this is very nice!

[ArcadeGames]

@misterintellivision Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it.

[jboypacman]

Oh that is so nice am drooling over here buddy. : )

[ArcadeGames]

@jboypacman Thanks man, I drooled so much I have to wear a bib now.

[jboypacman]

@ArcadeGames lol.

[thomas3120]

Very cool! Thanks for showing it :)

[ArcadeGames]

@thomas3120 Thanks!!! I plan on making some followup videos.

[ArcadeGames]

@thomas3120 Anytime, thanks for watching!

[shaynebraid]

Good video, what other games do you have. I like the time you took to explain everything.

[ArcadeGames]

@shaynebraid Thanks, I actually had more footage, but I had to clip some stuff due to the time constraints.

[jumblejunkie]

Billy Mitchell has nothing on your Pac skills!

Killer cab man! Really good shape, especially the inside! The board is big, like my penis. LULZ

[ArcadeGames]

@jumblejunkie I'm going for the lowest score in PacMan ever!

[pocketmego]

This is in beautiful shape. I mean considering how old this machine is and how much insane amount of use this thing must have seen.

[ArcadeGames]

@pocketmego Yeah, it still amazes me how nice it is compared to others I have seen.

[pocketmego]

@ArcadeGames

When you consider how RIDICULOUSLY popular Pac-Man was...you got a deal, dude!

Still, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

[BoingotheClown]

I am glad you didn't play Pac Man Fever throughout the entire video.. I loved the song, but people use it too much.

Kudos on getting an original cabinet in such good shape. Every machine I have has been converted and altered at some point in its past.

[ArcadeGames]

@BoingotheClown That song is cool the first time I heard it, but it wears off really quick. Thanks for the comment:)

[RetroGamerVX]

I don't know, as long as they are not too bad, I think I prefer the 'used' look to these, it gives a sense of the history to me :o)

[ArcadeGames]

@RetroGamerVX I agree with you, and if I wanted to repaint, I would have to redo the whole cabinet using stencils.

[NerdKore64]

Awesome. Nice job. I can't wait to see some of the touch up's.

[ArcadeGames]

@NerdKore64 Thanks!
