Name this cabinet art challenge.. (updated pics) Mystery Solved!!!!

<< < (5/5)

Ginsu Victim:
So, I guess I haven't seen that art. It was just very similar to the style of the time. Glad to finally know!

Bluedeath:
Glad to having been able to help. Actually was pretty much easy. Once i found that it was a SIDAM cab i just browsed this company games in KLOV, it's nice to know that my Bosconian is not the last surviving one.

Sidam was a small company that porduced licensed (and some bootlegs)  cabs for Namco / Atari games in the eighties they had the cotract for manufacturing european dragon's lair (and space ace if i remeber correctly) machines  for Italy (and europe)

I'm emotionally bound to this brand because it was from my city and i played most of the games in their cabs when i was a kid.

The other brand that i saw often when i was a Kid was CDA but it seems that no one eve heard ot this cabinet maker (AFAIK no CDA boards were ever produced) .

supadave:
Just so you know Bluedeath, The cab is in excellent shape (no physical damage or water damage etc.) It just has the conversion kit and the cp has been replaced. I have no intentions of destroying the cab. I will eventually get the art on both sides cleaned up. It will however be pretty much a sly spy with magic worm side art. If someone gets an ich and wants to restore it to a magic worm than I'd be up for selling it.

I know of at least one other that is here in Canada (is actually the cab shown on KLOV) and has made its way through a couple of local collectors.

Bluedeath:
Thanks for information. Unfortunately mine had a lot of "battle damage" when i received it as gift, so i decioded to mame it (but in a total reversible way) .  i'm changing the marquee and redoing the control panel (sadly it was already converted to a generic Jamma when i got it).
