Title: Puck Man! Post by: senseiman on June 25, 2012, 08:07:09 PM I picked this baby up at a local shop a couple days ago:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.jp/2012/06/puck-man-says-i-am-so-pucking-awesome.html It is the original Puck Man handheld released by Tomy in Japan before they changed the name to Pac Man. I have spent years looking for some Puck Man stuff here so I was really psyched to find it. Nice piece of retro gaming history. And it just looks awesome too! Title: Re: Puck Man! Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on June 25, 2012, 08:12:41 PM That's awesome! I wish I had some Puck Man memorabilia.
Maybe Tynstar here has some. I hear he's got a few Pac-man pieces of memorabilia... Title: Re: Puck Man! Post by: Duke.Togo on June 25, 2012, 08:20:27 PM Puck, man. That is awesome.
Seriously though, I do really like VFD tabletops. The way those glow is fantastic. Did they still have that copy of Moon Crystal? Title: Re: Puck Man! Post by: senseiman on June 25, 2012, 08:28:22 PM Thanks Shadow and Duke!
I love these VFD tabeltops too, as you say the display looks amazing the way it glows like that. Next on my shopping list is a Frogger if I can find it! When I was there a couple days ago they still had Moon Crystal. If you are interested in it just let me know! Title: Re: Puck Man! Post by: Duke.Togo on June 25, 2012, 09:58:47 PM I've got the Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Galaga Coleco tabletops. I'm lining up another large purchase at the moment, but if I can get a few more items to sell I will send you a PM over on Famicom World. Glad to see you posting over here; don't be a stranger.
Title: Re: Puck Man! Post by: senseiman on June 26, 2012, 08:42:52 AM I would love to get some of those, especially Galaga, I love that game.
And thanks, I won`t be a stranger on here!! Title: Re: Puck Man! Post by: Leynos on July 02, 2012, 03:53:42 AM Puck man was his original name but changed in the west due to fear of people turning the P into a F
Title: Re: Puck Man! Post by: senseiman on July 06, 2012, 08:36:21 PM That it was indeed ;D
Title: Re: Puck Man! Post by: GameboyGeek on July 13, 2012, 04:12:20 PM I'd have some fun with that treasure. Great find!
Title: Re: Puck Man! Post by: senseiman on July 13, 2012, 06:25:20 PM Thanks, it works great so I have been enjoying it! I just love the whole look and feel of the thing.
