Post by: ckong on March 01, 2010, 12:02:14 PM: Yes, there is one at the warehouse, but it is empty. No monitor, no control panel, no game board and no harnas. Only a 'galaxia' marquee. But the shell is very nice. Owner wants € 50 for it.

But it's a great looking cab.

Post by: level42 on March 01, 2010, 01:52:40 PM: Just wanted to know if it was actually Namco licensed, which would be kinda'weird for a "super" Galaxian game, because it implies the original was "upgraded" in some way...

I think it is upgraded: http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9899
According to this it is faster.
We had such a cab, but sold it a few years back. Still have the PCB, though ;) As far as I remember it's an original one with some daughterboard, I could take a look this evening...

Same cabinet but with different artwork : ASTRO WARS :-* :arrow:

Post by: level42 on March 01, 2010, 08:09:00 PM: I totally love the Zaccaria's, but I have one big problem with them: They are too small !

I bet (with ALL respect, please no flame wars !) that is because Italian people _generally_ tend to be a bit shorter than Northern/Western European people.

I seriously have to bend to be able to play a Zaccaria (or get a stool). It's the same with Nintendo (Japanese, also smaller people, again with_all_ respect).....

Post by: Laschek on March 01, 2010, 09:39:00 PM: If anyone is interested ;D

I just checked the Super Galaxian PCB, it's an original Namco one with three daughterboards. Two replace chips at "9B" and "8304", they are both identical and bear the Namco logo!
The third is connected to several chips on the board.
So is this really an official "hack"?

Post by: Laschek on March 01, 2010, 10:43:45 PM: It comes to my mind that I might have a manual, I should check if I have the time...

Post by: Belike on March 05, 2010, 07:54:09 AM: If anybody wants this cab, go ahead and outbid me, cause I won't have enough space to store it atm., star wars arrives soon ;)

Post by: mchay on March 05, 2010, 08:52:15 AM: I could be interested in this one, I just have to look into the shipping costs and weither the seller is interested en packaging and shipping the machine.
Title: Re: Super Galaxian on Ebay.de
Post by: Muerto on March 05, 2010, 09:15:04 AM: Shipping will be about 1250DDK maby less, because it´s in the mainland EU...

Post by: level42 on March 05, 2010, 09:34:05 AM: Mmm, KLOV kind of seems to list this:

http://klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9899

However, they indicate Midway as manufacturer.....weird.

Is Super Galaxians in MAME by the way ? I think it's very interesting to see original NAMCO "hack" boards in there ! We all know about the speed upgrades but I always thought they were all bootleg hacks.
