Never seen or heard of baby pac man before seeing chasing nostalgia, now I want one!
I’ve been chasing after one for 20yrs lol
I got one for Sale
@@SilentKiller-fx1qj still looking ?
I played this at a bowling alley in the 80's in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Never seen it anywhere else.
Watching your overview of it, I realize now it's Pacman with extra steps lol.
Amazing that you have one of these machines, extremely rare.
This is a really unique cabinet I would love to play this game some day 😄
The pinball and the norrmale game is hardcore level.
1:50 see how fast that ball moves in the playfield 😱
3:40 that animation if awesome 😄
.. Looking forward to the update video's .. 🦾
The Baby Pac is something totally different that I have never seen on an arcade. I can see why you wanted it so bad. Looking forward to the restoration videos. I enjoyed learning how to play the game. Nicely done Ralph.
Thanks bud, it's really a super innovative idea by Bally / Midway. I'm not sure how far I'm going to go with the restoration. It's mostly the pinball section that needs a tune up. It's uncharted waters for me but I'm looking forward to doing it. Thanks so much for watching my friend!
@@RetroRalph Baby Pac is one of the coolest things man, keep it forever and have it buried with you.
@@RetroRalph Back when these came out it seemed that they were "Out Of Order" half the time. Where they fragile or just needed more maintenance than average?
@@zippymufo9765 Yeah they do break a lot actually. I’ve been lucky with mine but I’ve replaced almost every board with modern equivalents.
This is really impressive. I remember my local Pizza Hut had one when I was a kid, but it was always out of service. I got to play it a few times, which introduced me into the world of pinball. Great find!
Now that’s how Pac Man should be played. What an awesome piece to your collection. I would love to play one someday. Happy for you, bud!
I didn’t even know I wanted a Baby pac until I heard you hype it up. Haha. It does look super cool to own and play.
It's such a fun game man. It's very addicting and I think people write it off as "just another pac-man game". It's really an amazing game, if you see it somewhere, for sure play it! Thanks for watching bud!
Wow that's really cool, I had no idea Baby Pac-man was half pinball.
I think part of what I like so much about this is it gives you authentic pinball but the cab isn't super long.
They used to have one at the boys and girls club in Encinitas. Itwas a lot of fun!
I remember Showbiz in Flint, MI had this when I was a kid. I recently discovered a working one not far from me, though! Can't wait to see more vids about the Baby Pac.
Thanks for watching bud, more Baby-Pac coming soon!
I used to play this at Pinball Wizard in Pelham, NH quite a bit in the mid 2010s, this one is really great
That is pretty sweet concept! Love watching these arcade clips, brings back so many teenage memories!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Good start in the description. Didn't mention about upgrading the fruit target by shooting the left ramp or the fact that you could earn extra lives by hitting the center yellow drop target. Still a fun game. I play it at my local arcade whenever I can.
Yeah I missed a few things for sure, thanks for the feedback and for watching!
Young fella this was one of the great games to come out very challenging we played it like crazy back in the days...
Ralph your playfield looks fine!!!!!!
I remember you playing this in chasing nostalgia, looked like you had a great time. That cabinet is very unique and I imagine if you take great care of it, you'll have a lot of money sitting in that wood....
I never knew such a machine existed! I visited the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas last year and thought I saw everything! Finally got to play this crazy pinball machine that’s standing upright and is circus themed, if anyone knows which one I’m talking about? Even got to see the original Jurassic Park and Super Mario World machines (out of order unfortunately) but this is probably one of the most unique machines I’ve seen! Thanks for sharing this piece of history!
I'm a guy that definitely racked up hundreds of arcade hours growing up during the 80s and I remember this game always being around. The odd thing about it is that it was always left alone and very few played it. I played it a few times and I guess what didn't click was that playing the pinball side of the game felt too awkward due to the small setting. If they had made it a regular size pinball game with a screen to play Pac-Man, I'm sure it would've been a bigger hit.
So now I know how to play, I need to try this bad boy again.
Wow haven’t seen one of these since I was a kid in the arcade. Total relic there! What an obscure and interesting machine that was.
It’s glorious! Such a unique game being a hybrid.
Your arcade are awesome
This is dope. I've played Baby Pac a bunch (shout out Freeplay in Detroit) and it's super fun. You should do a series featuring all the video game/pinball hybrids! Revenge from Mars, Star Wars: Phantom Menace, etc
My son fell in love with Baby Pac Man a few months ago at the Freeplay by Fraser. Is this the place you're talking about? We need to get back there.
@@slinger2112 That's the one! They have a bunch of great new pins these days too! Godzilla, Avengers, Deadpool, etc! I'll be the tall dude swearing at the godzilla machine. Come say hey!
I used to ride my bike to the Time Out in the local mall and when they got this, I was there every weekend. Such a great score and fun game.
Dude, that's awesome, thanks for watching my friend! I hope all is well!
I'm super jelly. Congrats!
I’m shocked this game is now considered a grail! There are so many of them available for cheap all the time!
It was one of the first games I bought when I started collecting back in 2016. I was able to get Caveman and I recently got Granny and the Gators as well!!
So glad to have the hybrid trifecta!
Oh my god, you got it??? Congrats!
Baby Pac is my one and only holy grail.
Now you just need to get Granny and the Gators. (It's not as fun though)
I knew I wasn't crazy thinking that there was a Pacman game that incorporated a pinball machine! I thought it was Jr. Pacman but after a few minutes of looking around I found this video. Unique concept but it apparently never caught on.
Pinball alone is where I started. Gorgar and KISS were the first games I ever played before video games. Then came Space Invaders at local Pizza Hut in 1979 at the ripe old age of 4. This is a cool game for what it was at the time and for what it still is. Great vid man. Time to get full pinball machines. They're worth fixing and upkeeping. :)
You look so happy playing in the video at Barncade. Keep the updates coming!
I also see that you went to the Todd Tuckey School of Pinball for your pinball gameplay demo :)
LOL, After recording for an hour to film the demo pieces I was like, why don't I just do the "todd thing". So, that's what I went with. It always seems like you play the worst with the pressure of the camera. I will do more of a gameplay video soon when I move it into the house :-) Thanks for watching bud!
Congrats Ralph. Very cool. I remember the game well, I wasted a lot of quarters on it lol.
Fantastic!
Played this at United Skates of America outside Providence, RI. They sure made the pinball part darn hard. Used up a lot of my quarters, I can tell you.
Sweet! Congratulations!
Happy for u Ralph! Congrats!🙏
Unreal what you have got there Ralph! Just brilliant!
I played this recently at The Arcade in Wichita, KS. I had no idea what I was doing so this was helpful. Congratulations on finding it! I also played Road Runner at an arcade in Austin recently.
Dude, that's awesome! Thanks so much for watching. When you go back, you will enjoy it more now. I didn't like it as much until I understood how to play it.
Wow, looks amazing and even more difficult. Thanks for sharing. Awesome video. Can't wait for the follow up.
He's right. When I played this game as a kid the maze part was impossible.
Baby pac is such an awesome looking little cabinet and game. Looking forward to seeing all your future videos on this machine .
I love playing this game.. It's still fun to play today :)
Came out October 1982 if anyone wants to know. Pretty cool for 39 years old!
I played Granny and the Gators for the first time last summer, which is another video game/pinball hybrid. Hard game but some good fun.
I haven’t ever seen a Granny and the Gators but I hope I get a chance to play it one day.
Loooooooooved Baby Pac-Man! Lucky you!
This game was hard! But very creative!
@Retro Ralph,
I remember playing Baby Pac-Man in the arcade (a Showbiz Pizza joint if memory servers correctly). It was an absolute quarter-muncher, but I always loved the video/pinball hybrid model. Baby Pac-Man was also superior to another hybrid called Granny & The Gators.
Since my hopes of ever owning (and having to maintain!) one of these machines is something left to only the wealthiest of individuals, I am more than happy converting an ALP running the VPX version of the table with good accuracy. What's more, the 3/4 scale of the ALP is perfect for running this pint-sized game!
Congratulations on the acquisition and look forward to more videos covering this cabinet.
Cheers,
Brent
wow. what a pickup
I’m loving this and The Rock Shirt too. I never seen this game
Thanks bud, I appreciate you watching! I hope all is well man!
They really need to do a 1up arcade/pinball with Zen Studios of Baby Pacman.
Those games were everywhere for a time. In the 80s I can remember the little hole-in-the-wall arcade down the street from my house having that game in there and it housed maybe 30 games all in all it was a rather small little spot but we sure had fun there it was called fantasy world
Phenomenal piece Ralph 👍... You've been on fire lately
Ralph doing Big Ralph thangs 😎
I’m trying man and I appreciate the kind words. Gotta keep chasing those dreams brother 🤘🏼. Let’s Goooooooooooo!!! 🏃♂️ 💨
Great video! That arcade/pinball hybrid is awesome to see!
I was actually lucky enough to play it once as a kid. It's so unique and fun! The inner guts do look like a nightmare. Great vid!!! I couldn't imagine the cost if Arcade 1 up tried to make it. I don't see it being a thing
It would be very interesting to see someone they and make this with modern tech.
@@RetroRalph I agree all the way!!! So many possibilities with retro. Btw love your channel
@@ronkropf1153 Thanks man, I really appreciate the support! Now you have me wondering if anyone would consider rebooting the idea of video game meets pinball. 🤔
It had a lot of potential and was definitely unique tech, but at the end of the day it was a worse version of Pac Man combined with a very plain, poor pinball game. It kind of died and was removed quick at my local arcade.
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Looks excellent
Beautiful machine congratulations man
This is my all time favourite arcade game! My local barcade has one and I go just for this game! Can spend hours on it lol! Such a fun challenging game! Be good at pinball to earn energizes and unlock the tunnel/increase tunnel speed!
David should cover his arcade games with blankets. Dust city.
That is awesome brother! This will look great in your arcade lineup 👍
Congrats. I remember only seeing this a Showbizz Pizza. Think had 2. Back in the day When they had multiple cabs and very few ticket games.
Damn, they had two of them!?!?
Great pickup Ralph! I've actually never had the pleasure of playing a Baby Pac but your video shows the ins and outs which is cool. That is a lot of hardware/moving pieces for a video game. I'm sure it has to be a nightmare for whoever has to fix it haha. I like how they integrated pinball into a video game like that....I don't know if there are other games out there like that. Thanks for sharing!
There is one other it’s called granny and the gators, didn’t do as well commercially.
Wow that's brilliant!
Congratulations!!
Dude your pinball has been acquired! Congratulations 🎉 this game looks great 👍 I played it before the pinball is so and fun. GRAIL ACQUIRED ✅
Yeah bay bay!!!!! I'm on the hunt for the next GRAIL and this is one I think you will be even more excited about. I don't have the deal done yet but it's close. Thanks for always supporting me my dude!
That's a pretty cool machine! Never seen a baby Pac before
I found out that there's a homebrew port of Baby Pac-Man for the Atari 7800. If you have a 7800, you can buy a cartridge with a manual and box, or you can download a rom. You can find both at AtariAge.
Great video Ralph, Never knew how to play, great info. Keep up the great video's. Need an LED kit.
You know me well my friend, I have one on order... haha. As well as new artwork for the Control Panel, this one is pretty hacked up. Thanks for watching bud!
Glad to see you got one that and Tron are my 2 grail games to have one day.
This is kind of like a 3DS way back then, with the two screens/areas. 😳👍
Nintendo actually did the two-screen thing prior to the NES with some of their LCD handheld Game and Watch games.
Awesome!!! I always wondered what baby PAC-MAN was all about. Definitely a unique game. Enjoy!!!👍
Congratulations on your procurement! 👏🎉
Ralph I swear you my good luck charm. You pick up your grail and I picked up my first ever dedicated Pac Man today! So stoked. Thanks for sharing dude. This is very innovative for its time and you have to give Midway kudos. My favorite gaming company of all time.. Long live Midway and Baby Pac. Cheers brother!
P. S. Love your shirt! Big Blue all the way cause I own one lol.
Dude!!!!!!! Congrats on the Pac Man!!! That's awesome news!
I agree bud, Midway is just awesome, it's like hit after hit of amazing arcade games.
The shirt is from TheArcadeLife, here's the website if you're interested, they have a lot of cool designs: www.thearcadelife.com/
Thanks again for watching my dude!
@@RetroRalph hells yeah dude! I'm ordering a shirt for sure and check out the other goodies. Thanks for link bro.
I used to love this game back in the 80s
That is one of my dreams to have one of those machines used to play it when I was a kid in the arcades Pac-Man Fever forever🥰✌🏻
Congratulations on the get! Good luck keeping it up! Remember, rubbers are only used once 😜
LMAO!!! Thank you for the "tip" on the "rubbers"... LOL!!! Did I take that too far? haha
I love baby pac it's so fun to play pinball and Pacman is an awesome combo!
I only ever saw this game once in a store where my brother and I played it.
Love Baby Pac Man !! Replay Arcade Museum in Tarpon Springs FL 🌴has one in great shape😎
I wonder how many people wrongly figured this must be a game for fans of Barney the Purple Dinosaur...and upon playing it look/play more like Barney Fife with his gun!
That's awesome. Glad you finally have your own now to play whenever you want. On to the next Holy Grail haha
It doesn't end, does it? LOL. Next on the list, NARC. Wish me luck!
@@RetroRalph awesome. I've only played a tiny bit of NARC on an emulator. I mainly collect Transformers, so there always the feeling of on to the next thing to collect haha
Superb the "blue Vs. red" t-shirt!!!
man this game is so fun, even tho its hard!
That game looks great nice cab/pin to have in your collection. From what I seen You my friend have a nice arcade cabinets am happy for you Ralph Thank you so much for sharing we love your videos.
Thanks my friend, I appreciate your support!
Awesome man!!!! Really cool
Glad you liked it!! Thanks for watching!
Again congrats Ralph! - who knows maybe some other unique games you might enjoy or want to own soon ;)
Ralph reads off systems that the vidiot replacement board supports "Woooo-oooo".....
* realizes moments afterward that he invested in the wrong hardware.
LOL!
Thanks for posting this. I heard about this game when I was a teen, but never saw it. I heard some weird thing about it being a video game and a pinball game. It was all true! :)
I'm surprised by the video game part, because the graphics for the ghosts look more primitive than they were for Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man. They remind me of what the 8-bit ports of Pac Man looked like.
Baby pac is a fun game!
Awesome pickup, happy for you! I need to get my Holy Grail list down to plan for room still. KI, DK, DK JR are definitely on it, but a few other's for sure could make the list like Time Crisis or 2, Cruisin' maybe.
You got this, time, money and patience...that's all it takes. And Luck... seems like these days things come and go quickly. Good luck my friend!
I loooooovvvvveeee that game... It's been forever since I played it
Sorta neat. I use to love Pacman Pinball. This is like a miniature version that plays a bit different.
Baby Pac Man was a rare bird to find in the wild. I only ever saw it one time at my local Chuck E. Cheese.
Altek MPU is a good product, however, you can snip the Battery on the MPU and replace it with a Remote Battery to keep from getting acid all over you MPU and Vidiot Board. The Large Cap on the Power Supply will need to be replaced too. I think Vidiot board was only used on BPM and Granny-and-they-Gators. I have a NOS (10/10) GLASS "Marquee" for Baby Pac-Man (from back in the days when I was hard-core into Pinballs and collected Back Glasses to hang on my walls for decorations). Let me know if you or someone you know is interested in it (to restore a BPM).
Thanks for the tip bud, that's helpful!
On my short list as well!
that’s a cool game keep up good work love watching your videos and hope to get my own baby pac-man sometime
Baby Pac is awesome!! Super fun game, rare find. With all the pac man that Arcade1up produces, do you think there is a Baby Pac man on the way? 🤔
I mean, there is a MAME version of the game so it's possible to make a "digital version". It would be really interested to see if they tackle it. They could try to license the other game like this as well. Granny and the Gators is another Hybrid game. Thanks for watching!
Cool machine Ralph. I'd love to see the Iron Maiden one. :)
Love BPM. I have had mine a few years now and almost have it done. I have a restored and cleared playfield and lots of new parts. Only thing left is the cabinet needs some TLC. I almost purchased Granny and The Gators to have the pair but backed out.
Stern needs to make a pinball hybrid!
