the true story of OFF LIMITS
« on: March 22, 2015, 10:27:33 PM »
This is the OFF LIMITS cabinet.
a wall game made modifying the breakout PCB

this game has been made by TBM, a small company close to Bologna, then distributed by ZACCARIA

It seems that the original version hadn't the game selector, while the ZACCARIA version had the possibility to switch between 7 games.

the picture here attached come from a TBM cabinet and the manual is a ZACCARIA document.
