I was walking by the Granville Island Toy Company on Main the other day when I couldn't help but notice this amazing Pac-Man pinball machine for midg... er, little people... in the window. I went inside and much to my surprise, the thing was only 50 bucks!!!
I've got to tell you that I'm no stranger to pinball. Growing up, my Dad had a classic Jolly Roger machine from the 60's in our basement. I played it almost every day and got so good at it that I could wrap the score multiple times over (the reels only went to 9,999 but it was not easy to get them there). And I actually just found it on the IPDB (how awesome is it that there's an IMDB site for pinball?), .
This mini Pac-Man pinball machine isn't something that you'll be seeing in in the future but I played it and it's actually really good for the size and price. Definitely awesome and if you have a little guy to buy a birthday gift for then this just might be a good bet...
Oh, and this is what the good old Jolly Roger looked like, in case you're wondering...
