does anyone know of an establishment that has a working and playable tabletop Ms. Pacman video game?

There might be one at this one bowling ally arcade in DuPage, but I can't remember if it's Ms. Pac Man or not and it's been ages since I have been there.
I can direct you to a stand-up Galaga.

The arcade section is called Galaxie World. They have loads of games but you might want to call them first.

not a bad suggestion. maybe i'll pass that info along.

though, traditionally, i thought table top arcade games were in restaurants and the like?

for example, the last time i saw a tabletop ms. pacman was at a pizza hut in Ottawa, Kansas. at least 10 years ago.

They have a small Ms. Pacman table that seats two people to the left of the door when you walk in. :)

There used to be one at Dennis' Place for Games. That's the arcade which is just to the left of the Belmont Red Line Exit.

yeah, that was my first thought.

i love how this post has received the most comments in months.

hope you're doing well, lady!

[josephineisevil]

I comment all the time, yo!

And yes, I am doing well. Have you been keeping up with reading my journal? XD. Yes, I realize you have more important things to do than read about my life, but still :-p
