Sound Chips : (2x) Astrocade (@ 1.789773 Mhz)
Screen orientation : Horizontal
Video resolution : 320 x 204 pixels

- TRIVIA -
Professor Pac-Man was released in August 1983.
Midway thought they were on to the next big thing and planned to release software revisions every three months to keep people from memorizing the answers. Three software versions were planned: family (under 12), public (for bars, etc.) and prize (for casinos). Naturally, this game was almost an immediate flop and most operators only had it hanging around for as long as it took to get it shipped back to the distributor. Only 400 were ever made. It was programmed in FORTH language.
