Title: What Taito Racing Game is this cab ?
Post by: Level42 on August 10, 2005, 07:20:36 am: Can somebody identify this cab ?

I checked out KLOV and all Taito titles that are connected to racing, but none of them appear simular.
Since it's a pretty big screen (25"?) I think it's relatively recent....

As to what game is actually in it NOW, it could have pretty much any racing game in it at this point, and not necessarily a Taito game.

(Game title didn't hint to a racing game :) )

Well, this could be the European version maybe ?
The game is supposed to be dead...

But to me it looks like the monitor on the original cab is actualy smaller !

Also, very aparant, the marquee is different and there's no kick panel artwork....
Shame the marquee is only very partialy visible....
Anyway, I made an offer, would be a nice racing MAME cab :)

It looks like someone did a monitor swap at some point, but kept the original front glass.
It definitely fills the front glass more than the one on KLOV.

Post by: Level42 on August 10, 2005, 04:13:46 pm: Exactly my thoughts....the guy who's offering it says it's defective and thinks it might be the picture tube....but he doesn't sound like a technical person to me so....
We'll see if he accepts my offer :)

Post by: Level42 on September 07, 2005, 04:33:03 am: Offer accepted, my 3rd cab :)....it looks very tall, hope I will be able to get it up the stairs :)

I really wonder what game will be in there....have to wait a couple of weeks before I can pick it up....

Does anybody recognize the Marquee ?

http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=D&game_id=7615

This has a bigger monitor then Special Criminal Investigation and the front looks exactly like my cab..so this one has not been converted :)

It's only giving a high pitched sound when the seller tries to power it up.....sounds like a dead monitor ?

Need to be a little more patient until I pick it up in october...

Wow this one seems to be pretty rare:
From KLOV:
Rarity (VAPS.org)
Very Rare - According to a survey conducted by Video Arcade Preservation Society of approximately 800 collectors and their nearly 20,000 games, there are no known instances of this game owned by a known collector.
