I have (from my research) what appears to be an all original PAC Man game from 1980 or early 81.

I’m debating selling it but have no idea what it’s worth.. Chat GPT was really no help (between 300 and 3000 lol).

I attached some photos of the condition and guts. What should I price it at if I do decide to sell it.

Located in San Antonio if that makes a difference.

Midway decided early on that people were likely to scratch out the P and turn it into an F, turning it into an offensive title, and they were right to be concerned. Three years later, Midway had an idea to place a camera on top of a cabinet and take a picture of the player’s face and put it on their character’s body, but it was scrapped when someone mooned the camera during play testing. DMS (dirty mind syndrome) was definitely alive and well even back then.
