An arcade Quiz
« on: December 14, 2009, 11:29:50 AM »
Hi all,

i cannot resist: i recently bought a dedicated cabinet and i wanna share my enjoy with you, arcade fans. I will not post photoes of the stuff untill all the components are at my home (actually i have only the control panel in my garage), but i wanna post some "hint" photo, just to see if we can "deduce" what game is this...  :D

Advisory: please, if you solve the quiz, don't write the answer for now (wait the last hint please  ;D) but feel free to comment, of course  :pac:

ok, the first hint

It's a bolt, but the manufacturer of the cab is not sega, nor midway  :lol:

Anyhow, considering that i had a couple of tryes, i will give you a couple of new hints  :-X

Nice tries. The latest hint follows, and i hope to exorcise the bad luck of today (the trip was skeduled for this morning, but the snow on the streets says "No No"... and considering that here snows only a couple of times in a year...  :'( ... probably i was a bad boy in 2009 ...) with this BIG hint :D
