Namco PacMan Pixel Bash Upright Coin Operated

Thirty-one licensed Bandai Namco titles. One backlit PAC-MAN marquee. One coin slot.

Overview

The Namco Pac-Man Pixel Bash Coin-Op Upright is a commercial-grade arcade cabinet from Bandai Namco, housing 31 officially licensed classic titles in a single coin-operated upright enclosure. The cabinet ships fully assembled in authentic arcade form — period-correct side art, a 26-inch vertically mounted LCD, a standard dual-slot coin door with card-swipe compatibility, and a removable cashbox — ready for route, FEC, or any coin-op venue floor without conversion. A separate home version of this cabinet exists; SKU 027063N is specifically the coin-op configuration.

Key Features

31 Officially Licensed Bandai Namco Titles

Every game carries an official Bandai Namco license — not a third-party ROM board. The complete coin-op title list: PAC-MAN, Galaga, DigDug, Bosconian, Dragon Spirit, Galaga 88, Galaxian, Mappy, Pac-Mania, Rally-X, Rolling Thunder, Xevious, Baraduke, Dragon Buster, DigDug II, Tower of Druaga, Gaplus, Grobda, Hopping Mappy, King & Balloon, Metro-Cross, Motos, New Rally-X, Pac & Pal, PAC-MAN Plus, Rompers, Skykid, Skykid Deluxe, Splatterhouse, Super PAC-MAN, and Super Xevious.

Ms. PAC-MAN in Free Play Mode

Ms. PAC-MAN is accessible when the cabinet is placed in Free Play mode, adding one title beyond the 31 coin-op selections. Operators can toggle Free Play via the on-board operator menu to unlock this title for venue events or open-play periods.

26-Inch Vertically Mounted LCD

The 26-inch LCD is mounted vertically, matching the original portrait-format arcade display orientation for every title. At 26 inches, it is noticeably larger than the 19-inch CRTs these games ran on originally — score readouts and gameplay fill more of the screen area while retaining the correct aspect ratio each title was designed for.

Dual-Slot Coin Door with Card-Swipe Compatibility

The standard dual-slot coin door ships installed and accepts coin play immediately. The door is also card-swipe compatible and the cabinet is dollar-bill-acceptor-ready, giving operators the option to add cashless or bill-acceptance hardware without modifying the cabinet enclosure.

Period-Correct Cabinet Graphics and Backlit Marquee

Both side panels carry retro Namco arcade imagery. The backlit PAC-MAN marquee stays illuminated throughout play, keeping the cabinet's identity visible from across the room regardless of which of the 31 titles is currently running.

4-Way Joystick and Ambidextrous Button Layout

The control panel uses a 4-way joystick and two action buttons in an ambidextrous layout, configured to match the original input setup for PAC-MAN, Galaga, DigDug, and the other included titles. The red-ball joystick is the same physical form factor used on original Namco cabinet hardware.

How It Plays

The player selects a title from the on-screen game menu, then uses the 4-way joystick and two action buttons — the same physical input configuration as the original arcade hardware for each game. From several feet away, the 26-inch vertical LCD displays full-screen gameplay at arcade volume levels with each title's original audio output intact. The backlit marquee and classic side art remain visible throughout, anchoring the cabinet's identity on the floor even when a title other than PAC-MAN is in play.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Single 24.75-Inch Footprint, 31-Title Library

At 24.75 inches wide, the cabinet occupies the floor space of a single standard upright slot while delivering 31 playable titles. Operators get multi-title variety without allocating additional floor space for separate dedicated cabinets.

Ships Fully Assembled, Ready for Paid Play

The coin mechanism, removable cashbox, and dual-slot coin door are installed at the factory. The unit arrives in paid-play configuration — no home-to-commercial conversion step before deployment on a route or venue floor. The T-15 tamperproof wrench ships with the cabinet for cashbox access.

Operator Menu Controls Pricing and Difficulty

Credit pricing, credits per coin, and individual game difficulty are all adjustable from the operator menu inside the cabinet. Operators can also switch the unit to Free Play mode from the same menu — useful for venue events or locations where coin-op collection is not the primary model.

68-Inch Height Clears Standard Venue Ceilings

At 68.25 inches assembled, the cabinet fits beneath standard 8-foot ceilings with clearance to spare. The shipping carton measures 76 inches tall — operators should confirm doorway and hallway clearance before delivery, as the carton exceeds the assembled height by approximately 8 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many games are included in the Pac-Man Pixel Bash Coin-Op Upright?

The cabinet includes 31 officially licensed Bandai Namco titles accessible via the coin-op mechanism. Ms. PAC-MAN is also available when the machine is placed in Free Play mode, bringing the total accessible library to 32 titles.

What are the exact assembled dimensions of the Pac-Man Pixel Bash Coin-Op Upright?

Assembled, the cabinet measures 24.75 in W x 33.25 in D x 68.25 in H. The shipping carton measures 39 in W x 30 in D x 76 in H — operators should verify doorway and hallway clearance before scheduling delivery, as the carton is taller than the assembled unit. The shipping weight is 365 lbs, so at least two adults and a dolly are recommended for positioning.

Is the Pac-Man Pixel Bash Coin-Op Upright configured for coin-op collection out of the box?

Yes. SKU 027063N is the coin-operated version of the Pixel Bash cabinet, shipped with a dual-slot coin door, coin mechanism, and removable cashbox for direct commercial deployment. A separate home/free-play version of the cabinet exists — this SKU is the coin-op configuration only.

What payment hardware options does the Pac-Man Pixel Bash support?

The cabinet ships with a standard dual-slot coin door that is card-swipe compatible. It is also dollar-bill-acceptor-ready, allowing operators to add bill acceptance hardware without modifying the cabinet enclosure. Credit pricing and coin settings are adjustable from the internal operator menu.

Ideal Placement

The Pac-Man Pixel Bash Coin-Op Upright fits naturally in family entertainment centers, bar and tavern game rooms, bowling center arcades, hotel game rooms, pizzeria game areas, and route locations such as laundromats and convenience stores. At 24.75 inches wide, it occupies a single standard upright position along any arcade wall run. The 68.25-inch assembled height is within standard ceiling clearance for all of those venue types.
