Help me identifying this Taito Cabinet
« on: June 19, 2011, 10:40:11 PM »
There's this cabinet for sale in a warehouse close to my place, but i cannot identify which game was designed for



The marquee has "Astro Fight" printed on it, but by my knowledge there's not an astrofight game by Taito... am i wrong?

Looks like the re-named that game for the European market ? The marquee is identical except for the name...


Oww wait, there's a joystick where we would like to see a pot-knob........weird weird...weird...

Official or booteleg kit to convert Zun Zun Block to something else, Astro Fighter maybe, or a space invaders clone by another name. Got any pictures of the insides?

The Astro Fight marquee doesn't have a Taito logo like the Zun Zun Block one so I'd say the bootleg conversion theory sounds very plausible.

I have space for one more cabinet, so it's would not be a problem to give up on this :)

Anyhow, consider that it's EMPTY (no board, no monitor, no cables... or at least this is what the seller told me) and i did not saw the internal part. He is asking 50 euros, not sure if he ships outside italy  :-\
