Definitely was a good idea to add the pcb description documentation by the contributor, but when seeing the side decal artwork on the upright cab makes me wonder if the original game was meant to be a bootleg video game of Stern’s Armor Car game and then changed to a clone of Pac-Man. Or maybe started out as Pac-Man clone and side art created in hopes to be some decoy move?
