Title: Pac Land cartridge, which (handheld) system??
Post by: Laschek on May 23, 2013, 08:00:28 AM
A guy from another forum got hold of a Pac-Land cartridge which obviously seems to be for a handheld system, but nobody has ever seen something like that. Even Google doesn't seem to know  :P
Anyone got a clue?

Guess it is a cheap-chinese variation on Bandai's Digi-Casse series:

Don't be fooled by 1984, that is the pac-land year, not the handheld year. It is probably from 1989-1990 or so.

Google knows NOTHING. They just store tons of crap.
They just COUNT clicks on results that come with keywords, and the one with the most clicks by Humans (you do the understanding of the text!) is served most often and highest in the list. Remember that when using it! Lot of information that does not get any clicks can be mighty informative!

Digi Casse has already been suggested, but the connector seems to be different.
What puzzles me that it seems to be an official Namco product, but nothing can be found anywhere.
Or do you think that bootleggers would bother to put the brand name on it?

Guess the other Namco Paclan (stand alone) wasn't a true Namco product as well.
