Here's a brief gameplay video of a Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man pinball machine by Bally. This game was released during some dark times for the pinball industry. By 1982 pinball was getting its rear completely kicked by video games and the pinball manufacturers were trying very hard to pull video game players away from vids and back to the pins. Clearly Bally hoped that using a popular video game theme like Pac-Man would do the trick. The game sold very well, comparatively speaking, considering when it was released.
Mr. & Mrs. Pac-Man was designed by George Christian with artwork done by Margaret Hudson and Pat McMahon.

The gameplay on this machine is quite fast and interesting. Making the skill shot is nearly impossible... I actually made it in the video here for the first time ever without cheating. :)
