Stumbled across this game in a namco collection for psp and it's a lot of fun. Just wondered if anyone has one and if you do can you post a pic.


Thanks!
 
bump...is this just a jamma board that needs an adapter? anyone have a motos board for sale or trade?

How many buttons does it need?
 
it's a Namco board that shares the same pinout as Galaga and Bosconian, i believe, but i'd have to double-check to make sure.

i don't think there was ever a dedicated cabinet and it was never officially released in North America; it's a Japan and Europe only game.

over here the game is pretty darn rare. i do have a boardset with a JAMMA adapter (homemade and all the wires are red!) but i've never seen or heard of another one. it's not for sale.

the game is pretty cool. i was thinking of turning a spare converted Ms. Pac into a "dedicated" cab at some point but i need to find some good, HQ artwork for the marquee and sideart.
 
oh, and i think it has only the one for "jump."

i might trade it for a Tower of Druaga but that's about it.

I'm reasonably certain I have a Motos boardset but no adapter, so it's not high on my list of stuff to test/repair if needed.

If anyone has a cheap Super Pac adapter for sale or trade, let me know. I would eventually like to get to this boardset.
 
Some of those boardsets from Namco in that era are a b***h to find!

I been looking for a Phozon and a Grobda since they been released on the Namco Classics. The latter did pop up on Yahoo Auctions some time back - many bids (big bucks)...

Never played a Motos but does look pretty fun! I would check out Yahoo Japan Auctions once in awhile to see if one pops up....

Good Luck!
 
i'm hoping to have my Motos project done before the NW Pinball and Arcade Show next year so it can be played in public.

i've got a full year to get it done. knowing how much of a procrastinator i am, that might not be enough time. :)
