I thought I read some where that they had more than one Crazy Otto out in the fielding testing....... Hmmmmmmmmm...........
So I went to a warehouse raid, and I picked up a Galaga, Tron, Journey, Tapper (Budweiser), Joust and a Pac-Man. Machines were in pretty bad shape, and covered in dust. Took them home and unloaded. Couple of days later I cleaned up the Pac-Man, capped the monitor, and powered it on. Nothing. Looking around the board, I found a blown fuse. Replaced the fuse and it booted. Strangest thing... It had the Pac-Man title screen with some hacked graphics, but the maze on the attract screen was Ms. Pac-Man. Figured some hillbilly somewhere started doing a conversion from Pac to Ms. Pac and never finished it. I wanted a real Pac-Man, not some Mickey Mouse throw together. Ended up selling it to some fella on Craigslist. Got $60 for it. SUCKER!!! I used the money to buy a real Pac board.
