I have a few variants of that first one, only they are around 6 foot tall and only let me save quarters.  ;)

As for the last one I'm fairly sure that isn't officially liscensed.  The fact that it's a 25th aniv machine and pac-man is currently on it's 30th coupled with the high price tag is a dead giveaway.

No it is official and a few years old. I've seen the coin operated version at the local distributor. Looks exactly the same but with coin slots
NO MORE!!

Well that's ridiculous.  No way in hell I'd pay nearly 3000 bucks for a 19 in lcd monitor hooked to a pcb running two 25 year old games.

For $15 and it plays space invaders when you put in a coin it sounds like a deal.   I doubt if anyone could make one cheaper.
