History Pinball / MrAndMrsPacManPinball

* LongTitle

* NonindicativeName: The only accurate part of the "Vid-Grid Pac-Maze" is that it's a grid.

--> "Slow; skill shot ahead."

* Creator/DennisNordman: Designed the modernized pinball cabinet seen here; it was used in a handful of Bally tables.

Not surprisingly, the popularity of all things ''Pac-Man'' pushed this table to become the best-selling pinball of 1982. Also unsurprisingly, ''Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man'' played as well as as you might expect -- while the pinball table was reasonably challenging, most players found the Vid-Grid severely derailed the flow of the game. Unfortunately, playing the maze game was essential for high scores and extra balls, so it quickly became ThatOneLevel which everyone had to repeatedly endure.

* RealSongThemeTune: The ''Pac-Man'' jingle plays at the beginning of each game.

'''Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man Pinball''' is a PhysicalPinballTable produced by Creator/BallyMidway in 1982. It was designed by George Christian, and was the first of two PinballSpinoff games Bally made for the popular ''VideoGame/PacMan'' franchise.[[note]]The second being ''Pinball/BabyPacMan''[[/note]]

* GraphicsInducedSuperDeformed: You can't get more deformed than turning Pac-Man and the Ghost into ''flashing lights''.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Baby Pac-Man appears on the playfield, foreshadowing both ''Pinball/BabyPacMan'' and ''[[VideoGame/PacMan Jr. Pac-Man']]'.

Needless to say, ''Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man'' played as well as as you might expect. While the pinball table was reasonably challenging, most players found the Vid-Grid severely derailed the flow of the game. Unfortunately, playing the maze game was essential for high scores and extra balls, so it quickly became ThatOneLevel which everyone had to repeatedly endure.
