    And by try Pac Man Vs. he means be sure to have a GBA with a Gamecube cable and three friends to play it with.

    It's a really fun experience if you have the required setup.

    It's also on Namco Museum DS and can link with three other DS'es in the same way.

    Fun fact: Shigeru Miyamoto designed Pac-Man Vs.!

    Has there ever been an attempt at a home port of Baby Pac-Man? Obviously that's one where you'd never be able to completely recreate the arcade experience, but considering how many video game pinball games there have been it seems someone would've tried at some point.

    I don't remember it being a particularly great game, but the local place had several of them when I was a kid, so it'd be kinda neat to play a little now and then to nostalgia out.

    What happens to the 4th ghost? Too bad it doesn't allow 5 person multiplayer, but I suppose few would ever be in a situation where they could ever take advantage of that anyways.

    No home ports, but I believe a version of MAME (To handle the videogame half) and VisualPin or whatever it's called (To handle the pinball half) can be linked to recreate it. So if you're willing to invest the 50 hours into getting the things working together correctly, you could do it.

    Interesting. Maybe if I get really bored someday I'll look into that. Thanks for the info anyway.
