Title: convert cocktail burger time to ms pac?
Post by: mammoth on March 31, 2005, 12:06:06 am

would it be hard to convert original burger time cocktail to ms pac - - i an original ms pc  board - just wondering if it would be worth the effort and if the game would be more valuable as pac.

Is the Burgertime CT working?  If so, a conversion would be dissappointing.

I'd much rather walk into someones gamesroom and see the Burgertime as opposed to the Mspacman.  The Mspac is more well known obviously, but the Burgertime CT is something different and a great game.

..IMO  :)

Keep the Burger Time if it is working.  It's much more rare than a Ms. Pacman cocktail.

If you have your heart set on a Ms. Pacman cocktail, just go buy one, they aren't that hard to find these days, and used ones arent' that expensive.  I bet you can sell your burgertime for more than what you'd have to pay to get a ms pacman cocktail.  And that way you wouldn't have to purchase all the overlays and other conversion costs.

Rather than dealing in cash, I'd say find a collector willing to trade a MsPac for it.

Please don't do it! I'd love to have a Burgertime cocktail!

Burgertime is one of my favorite games........ I am tired of hearing about MsPacMan and Galaga all the time.  They were fun as a kid,, but get way to much hype now and days.

I love PunchOut as well..... and Warlords...

If you already have the Ms. Pac board then you can just make a Ms. Pac to Burgetime adaptor, which will allow you to plug your Ms. Pac board into your Burgertime without messing anything up.

I thought MS pac uses a ac power supply.

Wouldn't he have to mod the board to accept dc in?

From everything I know about this you can also simply hook up a Ms. Pac board to a regular power supply. It has a built in one, but you can still just feed it the right voltages on the right pins and skip that altogether.
