Title: Identify this Bally/Midway cab?
Post by: KennyL on October 31, 2016, 05:04:57 am
A local laundromat has a cabinet I've been eyeing for a while.  No longer working, slight Vigilante burn on the monitor.  It has been converted to a Vigilante, but it is for sure a Bally/Midway cabinet.  Domino man is probably closest to possible I found in my quick research, since it has the 2 buttons to the left-right and joystick center.  But that red joystick and two red buttons stick out, so it could have been a Journey.  It has a generic Bally/Midway CPO and glass monitor bezel setup for horizontal (though converting from vertical could have been done).  Thoughts?

Fixed, sorry for the crappy cell phone photos. lol  I think Domino Man is the most likely, but it could be some other Bally/Midway title.  I'm not totally sure what all came in that same cabinet.

Oh cool, I didn't know that existed.  I'll have to try some of those in MAME.  I'm guessing since I haven't heard of them as of yet, they're not really great games?

Oh right, that one I have seen.  Would be cool to have a dedicated one.  I'll have to contact the laundromat owner and see if they'd part with this machine for cheap, heh.  Perhaps I can get a look at the serial tag and see what it originally was.

As is Up n Down. Super fun gameplay and the damn theme music will get stuck in your head for days, which may or may not be a good thing!
