ctrl-alt-rees | Pac-Man Prototype Cartridge Explored & Dumped - Rare Collector's Item! @ctrlaltrees | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 21 minutes ago.
I bought this rare "prototype" Pac-Man cartridge for my game collection a few years back from a seller in California who had a lot of interesting Atari stuff. But is it genuine or is it a modern forgery? Is the game contained within an undiscovered early version? Let's dump it and find out!
