Which game is better? Pac man,Ms pac man or aero fighters

[berlincam86]

Just trying to find out which one is better. I have a pac man cabinet that was converted to aero fighters but i would like to know which game is more popular.

Aero Fighters for me... Probably not the popular opinion, but I'll take a shooter over a maze game any time.

Your title said "which is BETTER", then in your post you ask which is more POPULAR.

Are you planning on selling? What's your motive?

I personally like Ms Pac the best, but if I had a Pac Man cabinet, I would restore it to Pacman.

No im not planning on selling id just like to know if i should convert my pacman cabinet back to a pacman or leave it aero fighters. But im starting to lean more toward a pac man just not sure if i should go pac man or ms pac man. Id just like to know which one is more popular.

If you're talking to a 35 year old, Ms Pac man (or pacman) is more popular. (More so Ms Pacman, because it has 4 different mazes and plays a little better).

If you're talking to a 25 year old, he'll tell you Aero Fighters is more popular, cuz that's just what his age group played back in the day.

Although the cabinets for Pac and Ms Pac LOOK the same (sort of), the parts are NOT exact fit to each other, so you're best off just either enjoying Aero Fighters, or restore back to Pacman.

Ok yea i see what your saying. I think im just going to get all the parts for pacman but use all the graphics and gameboard for ms pacman. The control panel that is on my cabinet now was made so i have to get a used one. Other than that and the coin door is a little messed up all i need is the graphics which i found so i dont think ill have a problem.

Growing up I played Pacman and Ms. Pacman about equally.  Most people mention the different mazes on ms. pac as making it better but I found that I enjoy regular Pacman more...and still play it a few times a week. I'm not all that good but I enjoy besting my old highscores. Something about the nice simple cameplay that really has it's own stratagy. It's just more fun for me.

the 2 pacs (no pun intended) are pretty much the exact same game, except Ms Pac has 4 mazes and the fruit moves. Id get a Ms Pac/ Galaga reunion board then you can play all 3 in 1 cab.

I have aero fighters II on my neo geo and the replay value is much lower then that of a pacman/mspacman but I can just swap carts, its divine

If you're going to be the one playing the thing what does it matter what others like? No sense in having a machine that everyone loves but you do not like very much. Make it what you want.

Of course depending how butchered it is already you could just make a multi pac machine using mame? It would be cheaper and if you are keeping it for your own enjoyment would give you more games to play.
