Title: Pac Man air hocky
Post by: Titchgamer on April 09, 2017, 07:37:17 pm

Ok not really Arcade related but I had a razz on this today and found it fun and a different take on the classic air hockey game (which I love..)

Anyone else tried it?

Its pretty frantic when all the mini pucks drop with 4 people! Lol

Yeah. We have it here at a place called Level 257.

Namco owns the place. It is an arcade, bowling alley, restaurant.

I was just there for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

It is a fun game.

Wow, Namco really have got their money's worth out of poor, old Pac-Man, haven't they. Looks fun, but far too energetic for an old geezer, like me.  :laugh:

Is this basically like the ones Sega had at Game Works 20 years ago?  Those were fun.

Never saw one so wouldn't know.

But basicly you start with 1 puck as normal and randomly at a point in time the game drops like 20 smaller pucks onto the field!

Then its a mad panic to smash em all in the goal lol

Rinse and repeat

Yeah, so that's a yes.  At least if Namco is pimping them I have a chance of playing one again some day.

The one I had a go on was in my local bowling alley.
As usual over priced though at £2 a pop!

I found them for sale though if anyone wants one for their collection... They are only £16k :o
