Heh, had to unplug the bug zapper to use the sander.

It's either Ms Pac-Man or Galaga.  Impossible to tell from this angle, since you've sanded everything off it.

My guess: Galaga, as there seems to be a hint of dark tint.

Yeah it's Galaga!

MS.PAC-MAN and GALAGA had the same shape cabinet though.

Yes i had to unplug the bug zapper!

Don't really need it in January,

Although it was 70 degrees here today!  :)

I know!  That's why I said "It's either Ms Pac-Man or Galaga."

Could have also been :
 
Bosconian or Gaplus

They also used the same cabinet.   :P

Nope, Bosconian had a different cabinet, it isn't as deep as a MsPac or Galaga.

Gaplus I don't know, never really seen one.  But I doubt it is exactly the same since it came out years later.

They look like the same shape cabinet to me?

These pix came from KLOV.

Gaplus, yes.

Bosconian and Rally-X, no.

The cabinets were not as deep 'cause the monitor was horizontaly mounted.

I assume this was done to save some $ on wood.

I see what you mean about BOSCONIAN,

But it still has the same shape as MS.PAC-MAN /GALAGA .

But RALLY-X was in a GALAXIAN/PAC-MAN style cabinet.

Rally-X and Bosconian are indeed the same style cabinet, however, they are indeed more shallow. Also, Bosconians were made of pressboard. Made a nice sponge for moisture.

I can attest to that first hand.

I know one thing?

GAPLUS has some   UGLY @SS!  artwork on it !

Title: Re: Name that Restoration ???
Post by: tbombaci on January 14, 2006, 11:19:06 am

I must correct myself. Bosconian is in the style of Ms Pac and Galaga. Rally-X, the style of Pacman Galaxian.

From the pics you posted, you can clearly see the difference in depth.
