Nintendo Eight Ball Action Trackball

The reason the game is so RARE is because it was a chipswap game for Donkey Kong. I saw one guy convert one of those suckers back to Donkey Kong AT the St. Louis auction a while back. He reconverted it AT the auction, and then sold it. Took him like 10 minutes.

I just won a Control Pannel on eBay for cheap.

Here is a pic of the underside.

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

Oh my god, Romper, that is a Wico Command Control trackball!
HAHAHA. It's the trackball Wico sold to use with Atari 2600, C64, etc... What's that doing on an arcade control panel!?
