Cutting a Pac-Man Cab into a Ms. Pac?
<< < (2/3) > >>
unix4hire:
I'd vote in favor of restoring it as a pacman even if Ms. Pac is in it.  That's what I did.  I figured pacman is the quintessential arcade game, even if Ms. Pac is technically the most popular game.  I know when people see that I have a pacman it seems to illicit more awe and excitement than my street fighter 3, of course I'm sure they'd probably be excited if it was a Ms. Pac cab instead.  Personal preferences.
JoyMonkey:
Here's both side drawings layered on top of each other (thanks again to Jakobud for the awesome cabinet layouts). Ms.Pacman does just about fit in there (if you round the sharp tip off a little; it's not that sharp in reality anyway).
Seems like a lot of headaches for something so trivial that could end up not working though. I'd restore the Pac-Man and build a Ms.Pac to give it some comany.
Stingray:
Way too much work for something 999 people out of 1000 would never notice, IMO. Just do it up like a Ms Pac and skip modding the cab.

ChadTower:

I have a Pac that I'm in the middle of not only restoring to Ms Pac art but an alternate color scheme Ms Pac. 

If it looks good, in the end, you did the right thing.
MinerAl:
If you're going to go through the pain of making all those cuts and buying t-mould and everything, just make a Galaga from scratch.

If it's a "I'm gonna do this because I wanna see if I can" then our ideas really won't matter, but if it's to sell later, just use the arcade parts from the Pac cab in a new unblemished cab for roughly the same trouble.

Then again, I have a Pac cab that I've been meaning to deconvert from a golf game for a year and a half.
