Title: What on EARTH is THIS ???
Post by: Level42 on October 02, 2008, 09:12:02 am
Just when you thought you'd seen it all.....

WTF is this POS ?

It's obviously playing DKjr. but WHAT IS IT ?

Is it a wall-machine ? Maybe but than the joystick and buttons are SO hard to control.

Or is it a weirdo kind of cocktail ?????

It looks like it was built from the rest-pieces of some other cab.

What a piece of junk. And what's up with that Star Wars "artwork" ?

The only thing it got going for it is that it might be a cheap way to get a DKjr PCB set AND a 13" monitor.....

I've seen a couple like that before. There's been debate that it's an upright with the top chopped off, vs it being originally made that way.

What's even more curious is the bezel has x-wing fighters on it.

Obviously thats the prototype DK Jr that was never released.

"Donkey Kong Jr VS. The Death Star"

Very valuable.

That's the one where you have to climb out of the garbage compactor, right?  Alien is throwing barrels at you and you're climbing up the sides.

You mean the dianoga (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dianoga)?

Where do the x-wings fit in?  After saving the princess do you have to stop Darth DK and stop the DK Star from firing its super barrel at Yavin?

Pretty common on some Euro (Italian) joysticks.

I've always wanted to chop the top off of various uprights.  I think it'd look good on some of them... Tempest in particular.



But you're meaning use the top instead, right?
