what game do you think they are referring to?

Crowquill:

It's in a generically shaped Japanese coctail with BW graphics similar to Galaga (although probably more like SI). I think that limits it to about 100 clones of SI. When Space Invaders came out the market was COMPLETELY flooded with knock-offs. Some of those knock-offs had decent graphics and an interesting twist on the gameplay (like Namco's Galaxian). This pretty much continued until Pac-Man hit it big and then most of the clones became maze games. Unless someone recognizes that board specifically, I doubt anyone here can narrow it down much.

Have you asked the seller?

ok, ive sent him a message. but im not sure why he wouldnt have said in the first place since as havok says it supposedly works...

NOP:

A friend of mine has a cabinet very much like that, and I believe crowquill is correct.
Definitely a Japanese SI clone.  My friend's cabinet, while gutted, says "space fever" on the control panel.  Those things are really funky looking, very retro.  Very weird monitor layout too-it was a 13" monitor, mounted vertical for playing, with a ton of dead space on either side of it.  I was thinking that mounting a big horizontal flat panel (because the cabinet is very shallow) would make a great machine...

Do I get partial credit for a lucky guess?

Why are you asking for credit?  With MAME you don't need no stinking credits. :laugh2:
