B.Rap Boys – Vastly superior sequel to DJ Boy, this one is the normal version, the Special version is even better.\u00a0 Should be possible to make some ROMs to play it, looks simple enough from the set data in MAME.\u00a0 Hint: get the stick, keep the stick, love the stick.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Daimakaimura – on the wanted list for a while, I saw this listed on UKVAC and it’s in absolutely fantastic original condition, and with things the way they are these days, a pretty good price.\u00a0 I would like to blame Aquas for this expenditure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Doreamon – TourVision cart, this cost way too much given that it’s a single cart with a normal PCE HU-Card in the case – but it needed dumping….\u00a0 I also picked up a box for Winning Shot, and these came with a corroded TourVision motherboard which still works – it can be salvaged, but the seller sent me a cleaner one too!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dynamite Duke – sort of sequel or continuation from Seibus earlier Cabal style games.\u00a0 We’re in the present day now and along with the normal crosshair shooting this game turns the MANLY GAME FOR MEN<\/strong> dial to 11 by letting you actually fight enemies who run up close with kicks and super punches.\u00a0 You can even punch so hard tanks are vapourised.\u00a0 It’s really hard to find, but not too expensive if you do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Elevator Action Returns – as well as being a sucker for prohibition era games, I’m also really into anything with a 60s\/70s style spy soundtrack, just what I grew up with.\u00a0 EAR has an amazing soundtrack and it’s a really worthy followup to the original game.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Football Champ – it was free.\u00a0 I bought something else and they put it in there as a gift.\u00a0 That’s how worthless JAMMA football games are.\u00a0 Please buy it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n J.J. Squawkers – extremely rare and incredibly awesome platformer from Able \/ Athena.\u00a0 Cats are assholes, they blow up your house and your only recourse as a crow is to rampage through the game world throwing tomatoes and pumpkins at people and taking insane amounts of drugs<\/strong>.\u00a0 Cost a fortune, sold as faulty but thankfully there was nothing actually wrong with it that couldn’t be fixed by turning the debug dip off.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lead Angle – known as Dead Angle in the west (and Gang Hunter in Spain), this is the sequel to Empire City 1931, they tried to make it a little more playable by showing your character and letting you dodge the attacks, but honestly I think the first game is more fun due to the simplicity.\u00a0 I still need a Japanese Taito version of that, does anyone have one?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Legionnaire – bought this to dump as the Japanese set was missing from MAME, strangely it looks like a Korean one re-regioned, but there’s a Tecmo label (only present on Japanese boards) and it’s got correct OTP ROMs on it minus the labels.\u00a0 ‘Made in Japan’ has been covered up with pen, I think this is a refugee from the time where people in Korea were importing games from Japan, which was illegal for a while.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lord Of King – or as the west knows it, The Astyanax.\u00a0 Came with a P-47 ROM board too which is undumped (more on that soon), and one of the input customs was broken as they always are on Megasys PCBs.\u00a0 If you get one of these and the sound seems corrupt, this is normal – check MAME.\u00a0 Certain effects like the skeletons being killed seem to not cut off where they should.\u00a0 I quite like this game, it has a lot of interesting ideas!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Multigame ’96 – bought to dump, Italian language version of this minigame collection.\u00a0 It’s not very good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nova 2001 – bought this because it was better condition than the one I had (intact labels) and it also came with … a NOS POP!\u00a0 Condition of that isn’t perfect, something has been spilled on it, but it’s an interesting item and actually has the enemies and point values printed on it.\u00a0 Fantastic game, you can play this on PS4 now in the Arcade Archives series.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Penfan Girls – I bought this because I thought there might be a sound problem with my old one which was dumped for MAME.\u00a0 There isn’t, the little pips at the end of sounds are normal.\u00a0 It’s a jigsaw puzzle game with anime pics, pretty good actually but feels a bit unfinished in presentation.\u00a0 Selling one of them now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ping Pong – I’ve been after one of these for ages!\u00a0 It was a favourite on the ZX Spectrum and plays just as well on the PCB.\u00a0 It also amazingly came with serial matching artwork, manual, and panel stickers.\u00a0 Word of note the pinout is nearly<\/em> Konami standard but not quite, the controls will be scrambled unless you make a specific adapter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon – again with my love\/hate relationship on this game.\u00a0 It cost far too much, the condition isn’t great, and when I got it I found the labels have been replaced putting the genuine JP description into question.\u00a0 It came from the same person as the Legionnaire re-import, and given that the EEPROM hasn’t been tampered with and the serial number is very low, it could very well be a similar situation.\u00a0 Also Sailor Mars FTW.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sand Scorpion – everyone loves this game after Trap15’s STGT!\u00a0 The slowdown is actually marginally worse on hardware than in MAME.\u00a0 It was sold with a sound fault which was tracked to the little custom module next to the amp.\u00a0 I’ll trace out the old one soon so people can make replacements in future.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Secret Agent – super rare Japanese version, I needed this … to go with the artwork.\u00a0 If anyone wants a normal US one (turned out to be undumped) then it’s on my sale list.\u00a0 Great game, again the cool music does it for me but it’s nowhere near as good as the Amiga version soundtrack done by Tim Follin.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sen Jing – Japanese version of Guardian Storm, it’s one of the better Afega shmups.\u00a0 Turns out the input circuits from the factory are a bad design, and they made an extra JAMMA adapter to correct it, on a JAMMA game…\u00a0 Seems just changing the resistor packs would have been cheaper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sonic Boom – kind of old fashioned shmup from Sega on System 16, it’s really hard to find and the baseboard on mine is from Golden Axe.\u00a0 The music is really unusual, stage 2 is an experimental mess in places.\u00a0 Really feels like a game released 2 years too late.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Strider – early US rev meaning the stage 3 music is wrong (easily remedied by swapping one chip).\u00a0 I love this game, I want a Japanese one, but they go for eye watering prices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Terra Force – Another Nichibutsu game collected.\u00a0 Great game with a mixture of vertical and horizontal sections which you can access through holes in the floor and ceiling.\u00a0 It’s also got brilliant crunchy YM3812 synth music which was typical of Nichibutsu as soon as they switched away from games using YM2203.\u00a0 Go hunting around on Youtube for music from this, Armed-F, Legion and so on – love it!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Toride II – Tiles.\u00a0 Women.\u00a0 Stripping.\u00a0 Lewd animations.\u00a0 It’s all here and it’s all in German due to where I sourced the PCB.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Touche Me – more bad adult games?\u00a0 Actually this one isn’t too bad – it has a rabbit who doesn’t look like Roger Rabbit trying to strip a lady who doesn’t look like Jessica Rabbit, by running around a maze painting it.\u00a0 It’s got strangely good music and a lot of tunes, but you’ll want to play the older set in MAME rather than this which I’ve dumped, because that one allows you to continue mazes with lives – this resets the whole stage.\u00a0 The AI is also interesting, it’s dumb as rocks but can switch to random which makes things very difficult.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
