MS.PAC-MAN / GALAGA reunion cabinets jamma??

[BUCKETHEAD]

This may be a dumb question?

But there is a MS. PAC-MAN / GALAGA reunion cabinet in the gameroom

at my local WAL-MART.

And i got to wondering are those cabinets Jamma ?

[SirPeale]

I believe they are.  Last PCB picture I saw it was JAMMA.

[Ken Layton]

Yes it is definitely Jamma. All commercial coin-op video amusement games (non-gambling) manufactured after 1988 are Jamma.

Ken, that's not accurate.  I know that the Sega racing games aren't jamma (Virtua Racing, Daytona USA, Indy 500, Super GT, etc.)  I'm sure there are plenty of others.

Wow...sorry to call you on that, Ken, but he's right.  Chad Tower has a Tekken 2 game, and it's *definitely* not JAMMA.

Tekken 2 is jamma with a extra kick harness for the extra buttons.

99% of all games after 88 are jamma when they use standard controls.



For games with speciality controls all bets are off.

Hmm...maybe it wasn't Tekken.  The harness def. wasn't JAMMA, though.

It just depends on the game... Sure, most are definitely Jamma.

I have a 1992 Virtua Fighter boardset and harness and it is the same proprietary Sega stuff that my Virtua Racing has.

Sega never liked playing by the rules.

[SirPeale]

Ah, it was a Virtua Fighter 2.  Knew it was a fighting game.
