<\/a><\/p>\nSankokushi – another ‘adult’ tile matching game, although in this one you need to try to make certain combinations rather than just clear the board, it’s not bad really.\u00a0 Sold as working on YJP, but it wouldn’t boot 9 times in 10.\u00a0 Found a bad solder joint on one of the work RAM – someone else had tried to fix this before and made numerous pointless repairs.<\/p>\n
Indiana Jones (and the Temple of Doom) – you don’t see too many of these, this is a Namco built cocktail version of the Atari System 1 boardset.\u00a0 It’s as heavy and large as a tank, twice as impractical and also very fragile.\u00a0 These really were designed to sit in board runners in cabinets, the sound amp\/etc face downwards on the lower board.\u00a0 The other option (and the way it came) was to have the connectors all upside down.\u00a0 On the other hand it’s amazing they condensed the System 1 boardset down to this size and it’s the only real way to play the game in a non-dedicated machine.<\/p>\n Gogo Mile Smile – newer ROM version, it’s sort of like … Pacman with a tether?\u00a0 It’s really good fun, you should check it out in MAME.\u00a0 Also incredibly cheap.<\/p>\n Pacmania – Japanese version, bought to replace my existing set.\u00a0 When I looked more closely at my existing one though I found out it’s a rare early World proto\/location test board which I’ve dumped for MAME, and which is now for sale.<\/p>\n Finest Hour – odd and unfinished feeling scrolling mech shooter from Namco.\u00a0 It really is like they never had a chance to add the finishing touches, most of the intro is silent for example.\u00a0 Very expensive game too, Japanese people love their mechs I guess.\u00a0 I have another of these coming too bought because the art is in mint shape.\u00a0 The board is allegedly broken, if I fix it that’ll be up for sale sooner or later.<\/p>\n Battle Of Atlantis – it’s cloned Scramble hardware, and the game is more or less a Scramble hack.\u00a0 I got this on ebay from a French seller, it was sold as working.\u00a0 Let’s see if I can remember all the faults in one go….\u00a0 Both AY sound chips were broken, the sound Z80 was corroded and the socket so bad I had to replace it, both of the 8255 interface chips were playing up again due to corrosion (in fact some legs fell off), the DIP switch bank didn’t work resulting in no way to change coin config, the filter cap was crushed and the amplifier physically cracked in half.\u00a0 That was just the top board.\u00a0 The lower board needed a couple of TTL chips before the missiles would turn from solid blocks jammed at the top of the screen, into actual missiles.<\/p>\n Candory (or Kkandori) – AKA Mario Ponpoko.\u00a0 It’s a Korean Ponpoko bootleg with graphics ROMs hacked to replace the cat with Mario, and most of the monsters are changed to aliens including ET.\u00a0 Very strange.\u00a0 Now dumped for MAME.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
