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:

(link to specific image at: http://www.retropoly.de/bilderupload/bilder/draco00.jpg)

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

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!

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):
http://www.retropoly.de/retroforum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=537
within the previously mentioned videogame exhibition listing a flyer of Clean Octopus.

Regards.

Hi, many thanks for the info and quick answering.
I think most of the games went to Thwocker, where I got my Pleiads & Space Wars (see here), the ones pictures in your link.
Cool that Pleaids from Irecsa, I see that cabinet for first time here, in your restauration thread.


Yup!
Some infos here too: https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3261.0
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!

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.

Got the package today! Wow...that's what I call fast shipping!  :)

Ordered other interesting thinks by the way  ::)  :arrow:



Now I have to learn Japanese to read them!  :P

Great!! How is the one with Galaxian cover? Looks interesting :P

Thanks for these informations!  :) Did you speak Japanese by the way? Presumably yes  :P ;)

Following your link, one of the two book (Xevious cover) is available on ...amazon Japan, and ...I ordered it of course  (they ship outside Japan... hooouyoouu!).
Know I still have to figure out how to order this one, the more interesting one :



 ::)
I wish to learn but I don't speak U_U.
I have the one with Xevious cover. Please take note the books are in black&white, but anyway It have some cool things, like for example the design "inspirations" of the enemies from Xevious.

About 'first one':
I checked Mandarake Shop (one of a few that shipping outside Japan) but It isn't available:
http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/search.do?searchStrategy=keyword&action=keyword&doujin=all&keyword=%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E5%A4%A2%E3%82%A8%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A251
Anyway you can contact them to ask If the can get that title.

If not, you can contact traders to buy and exports items, like:
http://casapato.com
http://doujin.dojin.com/ -> He even visit events like Comiket to get items directly from circle authors.

They are expensives with comissions but there are an option to get these titles.
Good luck and any questions are welcome!!!

Hi DarthNuno!!

These are amateur publications (doujinshi) from a circle called Area51 (ゲー夢エリア51):
http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~zekzek/index2.htm
They usually show their publications at Comiket (Comic Market) convention.

Japanese usually don't sell overseas (both circles and web shop sites), you can check some of their titles are available in Amazon JP but I think (I'm not sure now) they don't sell outside Japan too. Other option is looking for traders who buy and export items from Japan (but can be a expensive service).


Anything else that I can help please ask, regards!!

a question about the original control panel:

It seems the second button was added later right? Even there isn't a legend to the second button. (the are legends for Fire - Disparo and Start - Arranque, but not for the second button)
Had you tested if this version of pleaids works the second button for warp? or has no effect?

Hi,
After see your posts, a few were discussing info about this company here:

http://www.marcianitos.org/foro/showthread.php?t=24067
(in post 9 there is some information, He says it was a manufacturer mayority of licenses from Midway, but other games too)

Maybe for not be a "mainstream" game, It wasn't released by other greater/known companies, like recreativos franco, sonic or petaco, and maybe this company take the license.

By other side, other games like Galaxian or Pacman were manufactured here by many companies (some with different titles, roms modifications, different cabinets designs, etc) I like for example, the cabinet designs from Recreativos Franco, they were more like japanese version instead US. versions of Pacman and Galaxian.

Thanks for save the cabinet and for restoring it!

Hi!
I registered here only to say: Awesome!!

I'm from Spain, and I didn't know this manufacturer, but sure it was a official license.
In that years, you can find a few versions of the same game (the official and bootlegs, with different desings cabs).
And even official licences has variations on the rom (texts, gameplay - usually to be harder/faster than original), but this seems like had no variation : still have the Tehkan (C) Maybe the gameplay here is the same than original.

And ... where you get this gem? Has Pesetas and Francs in the coin door
