Hi all,
I ran across an arcade on e-bay that had Ms. Pacman, Pacman and Galaga all in one machine. There was a pic of the board inside. I'm looking for something similar for my machine and I was wondering if anyone knew where to find one or better yet, what the PCB is called so that I can do a search for it on my own.
Is is a multipac? 3 in 1? What's it called?
Thanks in advance!

Namco Reunion arcade game board (http://cgi.ebay.com/Ms-Pac-man-Galaga-Namco-Reunion-arcade-game-board-jamma_W0QQitemZ300341950621QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item45edc6789d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)

nope its not a multipac anything. its a namco reunion or a namco classics board. Its really small compared to the originals and its basically an attempt to capitalize on the continued success of these three games in arcades.
truthfully i dont think that very many operators ever really shelved pac man or Galaga.
almost every bowling alley i go to still has a galaga or pac man in service.

truth is though that i dont know today where to find an decent arcade besides a bowling alley.
the bowling and the restaraunt/bar bring in enough money where they can continue to operate the arcades for old times sakes.
everything that was just strictly arcade in my area first went up to .50 per game, then .75, then $1.00, then $1.50 per play, THEN they all started shutting their doors forever cause no kid or parent wanted to pay it.
thus, the only remaining and best bang for your buck arcades in the area are in bowling alleys.
most of them are still a quarter per game.

oh and i forgot to mention this. You can easily get this board on ebay for a song.
just look at collectibles category, Arcade,Jukebox,and,Pinball category and then select arcade. then select parts.

Thanks for the info guys. They are expensive as hell. I'm probably better off getting a 48 in 1.
