If your asking for opinions, I'll say no. That game is horrible. If you could hack it and add some fun to it - it would be a lot better.
To me, the game is worth only what I could resell it for. Ask yourself, do you want a baby pacman or do you want the game if it's reasonably priced?

Most people who don't like it find it too difficult. To me, being able to clear board after board of Ms. Pac-Man or regular Pac-Man reduces them to nostalgia factor games. Baby Pac-Man is a genuine challenge that cannot be easily mastered. A great game as long as you like a challenge.
I actually read a review once that ripped on it because there is no way to do a pattern and the ghosts are too unpredictable. That's what makes it great! You have to have skill and a little luck.

Not for pinball machines and especially not among the small set of hybrids. Remember, this isn't an Asteroids. This is a pinball machine. There were a lot less of them in smaller numbers.

I have to agree with Chad on this one. You have to consider that this game had a video game in it with its associated electronics AND a pinball game with its associated parts and electronics. That machine was probably pretty expensive to manufacture. 7000 units for that specific machine is pretty big, although there are about 50 pins that produced more units than that.

Consider that 50 among all pinball titles is a small subset.
