Help identifying gameboard
« on: July 23, 2013, 12:13:32 pm »
Could you please help identify the gameboard that sat in a Turpin cab i just got home?

I suspect the dig dug connector to just be a mislabeled connector to adapt the pcb to the cabinet. Might be a turpin pcb. Or something completely different.

it's not an original dig dug that's for sure, perhaps a dig dug bootleg?

are the roms labeled DD1 (or DDI) i cant really tell. also, what does that yellow label in the middle say? looks like the manufacturer.

I got these pics taken last night.
The yellow sticker is probably from a norwegian vendor.

yeah, i'm thinking its a dig dug bootleg. there was 2 versions of the dig dug board (one made by atari, and the other made by NAMCO.), neither look like this.

NAMCO:


EDIT: brainfart NAMCO not TAITO. oops.

So, this board looks to be a digdug bootleg.
Any value in it?

I was thinking to use a 60-in-1 board i allready got in the cab (after repairs, alot of repairs in the cab itself)..

Don't take our word as gospel. i mean, until you power it up and look at it on the monitor, you can't know for sure 100% what the board is. I don't know much about some of the older boards, but i know there where conversion kits available for some games to convert them to another game with just a swap of the roms, since the rest of the hardware was the same. perhaps this used to be a mappy and was converted to dig dug  :dunno

That said, if that's what it is, and you like dig dug, keep it and play it...if not, sell it off and buy yourself a few buttons.

Might be a game with a similar pinout as Dig Dug: http://www.arcade-museum.com/pinouts-class/Namco_Galaga.html

From that list there, i recon it is a digdug.
Since the yellow sticker mentioned earlier dates 1982.
