Baby Pac-Man
A unique game that combines challenging Maze action with pinball.
You play Baby Pac-Man who must navigate various mazes. Unlike Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, you can also "escape" to the playfield to rack up addition points, get an extra Pac-Man, or increase the fruit value. Most importantly, you use the playfield to earn "Power Ups" so that you can chase the ghosts.
Coin-Op Overview
This game has a 13" monitor oriented vertically on the top half. You move Baby Pac-Man using a 4-way joystick. When you choose to "escape" to the pinball playfield, you use two flipper buttons to control the flippers. There are actually four buttons -- two are mounted on the side of the game as a traditional pinball game, and two are located on the front of the control panel in a traditional arcade manner.
Game play is significantly more difficult in the maze area as the ghosts are much "smarter" than in Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man. This game is fairly collectible due to its unique nature and the fact that the pinball play is challenging to realistically emulate.
