Pac Man Junior?

I don't know how much of the 'Pac-Man' arcade hardware crosses over to the other Pac-variants. In recent months I found myself in an arcade with many of the pacman games and found a new appreciation for the fast paced nature of Pacman Junior. I was even able to place on the high score of that machine which surprised me. Even for now in emulation, I encourage others to revisit this game and thought to open a fun discussion here of its possible future core status.

Jr is basically Pac hardware with more RAM, and scrolling tile map, and iirc also larger graphic roms. That's off the top of my head, but I believe the hardware is similar enough that Jr would belong in the Pac core if it was added.

Would love to see this one some day. I remember the first time I saw it. Forget the name of the arcade, but it was at the Parmatown Mall arcade in Parma, OH outside of Cleveland. Really liked this one.

It's a fun game. I play the Atari VCS version a lot, probably the best home port.
