![]() Some of these are very obvious cash-ins (with Professor Pac-Man being an infamous flop) but Ms. Pac-Man, Professor Pac-Man, even pinball games Mr. But it also lead to a slew of other Pac-Man-tied games that were a bit too much for Namco. Pac-Man with input from Namco, but that's a story best told by former GCC designer Steve Golson. Why wouldn't they? They weren't the only ones either, leading to General Computer Corp- due to an agreement with Atari to show the original manufacturers their speed-up / game enhancement kits rather than make them illicitly- showing Bally their Crazy Otto hack that would become Ms. The Bally-Midway ones, possible due to Namco partnering with the company for Western distribution, were a response to Pac-Man's overwhelming success in Western arcades, to the point where they made a threatening flyer about unlicensed hacks and bootlegs, and they wanted more.

Which is the one true default? We, uh, don't know. Museum + and the Arcade Archives version default to lives being given out at 30K and 80K only, while MAME defaults and the Arcade Restoration Workshop listing for the dip-switches point to lives being given at 20K, 70K and every 70K thereafter.
