Or has anyone ever seen a dedicated Bogey Manor? I had a NOS kit once, but I eventually sold/ traded it after years of holding onto it. Now the game is on my mind again. I assume it was kit only, and I've never actually seen a Bogey Manor marquee. Whenever the game is talked about online, the only accompanying image I ever see is the attract/ title splash screen.

Holy shit, though always thought to be a weird GNG bootleg marquee, this simply HAS to be the marquee for Bogey Manor:

Here's a basic game description (credit to Lunatic Obscurity):

Some guy named Fritz goes to a series of ramshackle old mansions to, I guess exorcise them by destroying all the crystal balls therein. Each house is also infested with various kinds of monsters: ghosts, frankenstein's monsters, witches, and so on. Each house is divided into four screens, and each screen has four floors on it, with stairs and doorways being the way to get between floors. Most of the time, the player can only see the floor they are on, though there is an item that appears in each stage that illuminates every floor. After each orb in a house is smashed, the house starts to collapse from the top down, and the player has to rush to the exit. Failing to get to the exit before the house completely collapses results in death, obviously, but it also gives the player a different death screen than the usual, which is a nice touch.
 
It was in the crap mame tourney one year. I've seen it played. Yikes.

Yeah this game play tidbit just sounds terrible:

to defeat most enemies, the player has to press one button to distract the monster by pointing at the floor or ceiling, and then press the attack button to clobber them over the head with their stick/lightsabre/thing.

Phet, that first marquee was on a cab that had been converted at a concert club here in St. Louis years ago. Only reason I remember it was the place was a punk club and stickers and graffiti were everywhere. Well someone drew a bubble coming out of the ninja's mouth and wrote "Who should I suck off next?" A few friends and I still laugh about it. For those curious, it was the Creepy Crawl downtown.

Holy fuck that is one of the most awesome things I have ever heard. That is gold. I'm shitting myself.
 
Yeah, I'm kind of pissed we didn't take a pic but it was about 15 years ago. I still remember seeing it and laughing for a good 5 minutes.

The answer has to be old blue face. Looks like he might be half way there already. Probably wouldn't take much to finish him off.

I had/have a tested working PCB, but I don't recall if I sold it. I got it about 20 years ago!
 
I don't understand why that hasn't been fixed for new stuff to be added. I see posts complaining about it regularly but it never gets resolved?

Yup, I made a thread about this and got zero acknowledgement from the powers that be. Game titles are missing, I Cant add rare game pics if there is no titles to put them under. From what I heard anything we submit has to voted on by someone ???

Never hear of this game nor played it but if this marquee is related to the game in question then im sure its probably existed as evidence of the board is shown above. Ive come across that marquee many times on eBay and through other collectors always wondering what game it went with.. Im guessing this was probably just a kit game with no dedicated cab.

Yeah, I know it existed. As I mentioned in my first post: I OWNED A NOS KIT.
