Though Kevin Eshbach's answer (an answer I suspected before posting) is probably correct, I'm re-posting the question I recently made in the original thread, because I missed that the thread wasn't in MAMEChat:
Did anyone notice the Jr. Pac-Man level he showed there (23:36)? I don't think that's in the game.
Also, regarding Macrae's talk in general, how fascinating. It really clears up a lot of things, in particular, the whole [obviously] urban legend that Mspac was an unauthorized bootleg that Midway somehow got away with, etc.
It surprised me to find out that Mspac in original arcade form wasn't released in Japan - Macrae suspecting it having been a pride issue of Namco's. Funny.
And, last but not least: he mentions the existence of Crazy Otto in MAME (or, rather, Misfit....), and talks of wanting to 'get it out there in some free manner'. This is almost comical, given that the license/copyright issue is probably an ultimate show-stopper (as Macrae intimates); and that MAME is GNU and essentially 'word-of-mouth'. Meaning that it may likely never get to the masses.
Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.
