HAHAHA. It's the trackball Wico sold to use with Atari 2600, C64, etc... What's that doing on an arcade control panel!?

Wow, I think your right!   :o  You can even see the little rubber feet on it.

Looks like these machines were a hack all the way around!

--- Quote ---Sorry to go OT, but is this game emulated in MAME?  I know I can get the ROM, but I don't remember ever seeing this is MAME and I've just downloaded MAME 32 .89 and still don't see it.  None of the trackball billiards games impressed me, but this looks like it has possibilites.

Yes it's in my MAME set - there are 3 different ROMS for the 3 different hardware conversions.  One for DK, one for DK Jr. and One for the Pac-Man hardware that still has color issues in MAME.

Are you looking under Eight and not 8?

It's an ok game, nothing to get sweaty about.  ;D

Found it in the .89 I downloaded:)  Not sure why I missed it this morning.  I guess I spent the most time looking in .70 (Which it's not in).  Not expecting it to light the world on fire, but I'd like to have ONE billiard game that I didn't find retarded (Trackball version).

Edit:  Just played it.  That was a waste of my time.  Not actually a Nintendo game and doesn't support the trackball?  Even by the low standard of arcade billiards, this one sucks.
