In this holyday I have found the time to "take my time"...
...so, once again, I'm embarassed to post this Road Trip... but my conclusion is: here it's the right place over all each other.. so.. :roll:
This Road Trip was one year old.. :oops:
..but was my very first "Road Trip" documented (I hope) in DLF style (after many wonderful one read here, I decide to try..)
..and.. for my first one " Original Cab "!!
..same week before the Road Trip I have answer to an advertisement...and the luck was by my side that time!!
LET'S START THE ROAD-TRIP!!

Xmas is in the air...

..around Milano the traffic was intense for a Saturday at 6.00 AM..but this wasn't the problem I was afraid...

..this was my problem: the FOG outside the city!! ...I hope it don't follow me along the whole Road Trip!

I was very lucky, and the worst part of famous "Serravalle" motorway the fog fade for the sun!

..but, probably for the incoming Xmas week holydays, fraffic to Genova was annunced
(http://digilander.libero.it/alexbred/Lunar%20Rescue/8.jpg)
...but anyway, I'm happy the same for the good weather condition (It's could be a driving nightmare with the fog!)
(http://digilander.libero.it/alexbred/Lunar%20Rescue/9.jpg)
... like I said..
(http://digilander.libero.it/alexbred/Lunar%20Rescue/10.jpg)
..I'm just arrive to Genova..
(http://digilander.libero.it/alexbred/Lunar%20Rescue/11.jpg)
..the city!!
...from this moment I have a problem: I have forget at home the mobile phone charger :roll:,
and for high battery absorption of GPS accross the Liguria's mountain and tunnel, I have only the charge to make one call to the seller for meet up us...

Another beauty rescued, good job!!!
I LOVE the art on that one very much :-*
-
Nice cab, looks really good.
But I see your coffee machine is very important for you :!:
And, I have never heared about that game.
-
Nice !, again thanks for sharing with us !
Like Chris, I love the Art too ! :spaceace: :spaceace:
Is it a clone of a well known game ? I have never heard of this title, but thats many time the case with bootlegs.
Its an oddball for sure, i like it !
-
I absolutely like all MR cabs I've seen so far. Even the generics are very cool.
Great catch
-
That´s actually a nice looking cabinet!
Looks like someone looked at the early TAITO/TAITRONICS cabs :)
-
Very cool cab ! :spaceace:

Wasn't LUNAR RESCUE released by TAITO? I guess this explains the similarities.
-
...and an other MR cab?! Impressive!!!
Artworks on it are gorgeous! :P
Many thanks for sharing this story with us :)
:spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

Thanks boys!

No Etienne, like MR Space Invader, this have inside a genuine TAITO PCB.
...like I told, probably Model Racing obtained the offical licence from Japan... "2 hint make one evidence" :)..
-
This game was part of my childhood...i'm love it!
It's the successor of Space Invaders from Taito and assembled in Italy by Model Racing.
Good luck with the restoration! ;)
-
I remember now that Lunar Rescue is one of the games included in the "enhancement kit" you can add to a regular Space Invaders PCB.
So Space Invaders and Lunar Rescue share the same PCB (it's just a ROM swap).
Anyway this version of the cab is much nicer than the Taito versions, congrats again!
