Thanks for sharing about this awesome ticket game. My family went to Roy's around that time -- we were a roast beef sandwich kinda crew -- but I don't recall this contest. Maybe they didn't run the game in my part of NJ, but more likely, my parents kept me from learning about it so I wouldn't pester them for constant trips to Roy's.

The ads are great. There's a gal in the background of the first scene, standing next to the Ms. Pac-Man machine gesturing in an unusual manner...at first I thought she was providing a sign language translation, but after rewatching, I don't think this is the case. Just excited for her game pieces, I guess.

In one of the shots of Ms. Pac-Man chomping food around the perimeter of the game board, it looks like she's eating a cherry flavored Rita's Italian Ice, but that must be a fantasy in my head... roast beef sandwich with an Italian ice chaser.

Speaking of fantasies, I bet that that prize-sundae was one of the best you've ever had, if only because of the story attached.
