Looking for old Cidelsa Flyer

[davebizarro]

Hi!
I have seen in a inventory list of a videogame museum from Belgium a flyer from spanish company Cidelsa called "Clean Octopus":
https://perswww.kuleuven.be/~u0008708/museum.htm

The page is very old and I'm guess there is no longer in active.
Anybody knows what happened or where go that inventory?

Clean Octopus is a lost game from Cidelsa along with a few others, if anybody knows if someone could have that flyer, please let me know.
Regards.

I think most of the games went to Thwocker, where I got my Pleiads & Space Wars (see here), the ones pictures in your link.

Wow, I feel like finding Dr.Falken, many thanks for sharing, I didn't know nothing more except the old and infamous web site.
So Marco (Thwocker) bought them but he also sell about half of his collection. Is marco active in this forum? I will PM him about If still have that flyer. We only know three games from Cidelsa (Destroyer, Altair, Draco) and Clean Octopus flyer could be the key to discover another game from this company.

Again many thanks guys!

Also If anybody could give information, images, flyers or documents that could help to identify (specially unknown) games from Cidelsa, please let me know.

In theory these games were released only in Spain, but I have found more information outside.

For example I found a Draco cabinet images from a collector (and later transformed to MAME cabinet sigh):

within the previously mentioned videogame exhibition listing a flyer of Clean Octopus.

I bought a Draco for my buddy Thomas a while ago.
I'll dig out the pics and send you the link tonight.
Meanwhile I already found this one from Ckong (Draco stands on the far right):

Many thanks chrischris!!

The control panel seems modified (Draco originally uses 2 joysticks like Robotron), but I can see now how was the illustration design of the panel, many thanks!!
Can I share some of these pictures in a spanish forum? Greetings!

You're welcome and feel free to share of course.
Did you check the pictures of the inside in the zip file?
Can you tell if it has been hacked?

Yes, I checked them many thanks.
If you see the control panel, there are from left to right: joystick, 1p 2p start buttons, and 2 buttons more placed vertically instead the other joystick.

You can compare for this cabinet from other collector, It had the 2 joysticks before going converted to MAME:

The cabinet you show me most sure had converted to jamma, you can check the differences here:
