Hehe... I've done similar - once I ran across a Ms. Pac-Man machine in an arcade with no red. Of course I played it anyway - I love Ms. Pac-Man. It's pretty playable even with no red, although one of the ghosts only shows up as a pair of eyes all the time. It got hard when I got to the stage where the maze turns red, but it was playable, since I could still see the dots, and I knew the maze from memory anyway. Of course, I couldn't just go by the maze burned into the tube, since that was the first boards - the mazes change. Then there's the board where all the _dots_ turn red. I died there - couldn't see what I'd eaten and what I hadn't!
