So.....what (extra) cab do you need to sell to make space for this one ?  ;D ;D

What a great deal by the way, the only known machine of this game, totally complete and original, even the original docs included, for that price :) You're going to need to do a lot of scanning for history's sake :D

And pics for KLOV.

I made a PDF scan of the technical manual for moon crest. What is the best place to post it so it is taken in a database?

That's a great find. I've never seen that style cab with an MTC-90 in it, all the ones I've seen have been KT-3 based with the earlier round marque ones (Astro Wars/Galaxia) being MTC-90 based. Suggests this game predates Quasar in terms of production run.

The bootleg PCB that's in there and the lack of Nichibutsu references anywhere is hinting that this may not have been an "officially licensed" game. Post a link to the manual when it's uploaded somewhere, maybe some information in it about it's origins...

Uploaded it in case anyone else wants to see it. Not really much in it - wiring and PSU schematic along with DIP switches.

Yeah, bit sad that the PCB schematics aren't included but I think Zaccaria never did that right ?

 :spaceace:

So, maybe Zaccaria didn't have the licence for this game after all.

I am so glad that you got it to work, it probably is my most favourite game.

not yet, but a forum member offered to work on it. When I have the opportunity, then I will hand over the monitor to him.  :)
