Yeah, I was wondering if this might be a run of Tron in star form. That said, it could really be a run of any native (none-Namco) Midway game from around that time. There are a lot to choose from, but the control panel it looks like it was a joystick + two buttons. That said, the CP color is mismatched so the CP may have been swapped out at some stage. We may never know unless there is more evidence to go on...

Great find!

Paul.

Yes Paul, this is a mystery Stars....

I'm embarrassed about wiring to carry out... now it was converted in Sega16 pinout cause the game inside it was Shinobi.

The facts (power system, stereo speaker,  ecc..) told abut a Tron cab or better a Genric Zaccaria Cab ready for Midway's PCB probably..
..I'm wondering to know the business agreement between Zaccaria and Midway....about the distribution of the game in Europe/Italy...

I could say one detail more: the screen is (and was I belive) originally horizontal...no alteretion about position was made (Tron is vertical).

One more: the cab seem not place on Bar or GameRoom (not in Italy probably), cause don't recive any tipical sign of vandalization (lighter, cigarettes, penknife stratch...) that I always seen in all other Zaccaria Cabs (mine and others friend).
The original internal parts not removed (wood bracket at first, original fan ecc..) suggested me what above write.

Yes, the console don't correspond at original (was blu and cab is brown). I repaint it. I hold 1 joy and 3 button, probably.


...in short: it's an hard choice:

- Midway's power don't give me -5v. Add another power only for this it's a pity.
- Nobody will know exactly what run inside the cab

...a good compromise for me will be to wiring it in Jamma (but without -5V pinout) hold the same look as now it is (horizonatal monitor, 1 joy 3 button)...and collect same Midway PCB to run inside (I have one "Rally X"..)

I'm glad in your opinion about ...

No one wants to say it was a tron. It's ridiculous. I only mean parts of tron have been used.

I don't think so. it's a zaccaria's game ;)

named Laser battle for Italian market and it had the typical zaccaria's power supply.
http://zaccaria.co.uk/download/file.php?id=87 (probably you have to login)



Lazarian had that midway power supply but made by Midway only (not midway/Zaccaria) and assembled into the midway cabs by Midway in the US

I couldn't find any picture or manual that doesn't support this thesis but everything is possible...

there is an interview made years ago to Natale Zaccaria. He told only few cabs were sold by midway but they paid all licenses (thousands) the same


Applying Occam razor I can say they assembled that cab with spares...  :lol:

last month I picked up a Satan's Hollow distributed by Zaccaria. Either in that case cabinet was dedicated although everything inside was made by midway.

 :roll:

Bela,
I'll spend some holidays 200km far from you in a couple of days :) I'll visit bratislava  :lol:

Hei Frame,
What are you doing here, pay attention this place is full of "cabinet serial hoarders" as you call us with scorn in ARCADEITALIA forum.  :spaceace:

I'm joking of course but someone (some mods included) were not happy of that; we are all friends, remember that :*
