    Question Bought a used Genesis Ms Pac Man

    Just bought a used Genesis Ms Pac Man game from seller on Amazon.
    The left side of the cart looks like someone tried to pry it open. The right side of
    the cart won't slide all the way in my Genesis 2 console. I had to remove the
    motherboard and place it another game and it works fine. Is there a way to bend
    the plastic so the cart fits in my console?

    It might be possible to melt the plastic just the right way so it becomes pliable without breaking. You have to make sure it doesn't get so hot that it liquefies though.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]

    Why not just ask the seller for a refund for selling you a bum game?
    If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?

    This games cheap enough I'd say it's not even worth it.

    This.

    The seller should be on the hook for the return shipping as well and hopefully it teaches the seller not to sell crap merchandise at least.

    I'm curious why anyone would bother buying this game online as it's dirt common, especially loose. I've found several copies of this over the years in the $1 range, even complete. It's a decent game though.

    As to fixing the cart, the easiest way would be to swap the case. Of course then you're missing out on the label, unless you've got a defective Ms Pac-Man on hand with a nice case.

    I've had multiple copies too, I have a cib copy now, it's a decent game, indeed, I think it's the best classic version of this game on a console. It doesn't have every level from the arcade, but the graphics are real nice. I haven't played every version of Ms. Pac man tho so if there's better versions don't hold it against me.

    This game isn't missing any mazes from the arcade. It adds to it, doesn't take away.

    I'm guessing OP lives in the boonies.
