Eight Ball Action (DK MOD) - Anyone running one? Is it remotely fun?

Somehow I ended up with two Eight Ball Action PCBs, Two Control Panels (one with a trac ball and the other with a stick) and a marquee. How does the trac ball hook into the DK harness???

I was gonna convert the PCBs back to DK and DK JR. for spares (yes, one is a DK JR., I thought this was only a DK mod?)

But, I do have an empty Ninty cab in my garage and some extra monitors. Is this game worth playing?? Anyone have it?

Not to change the subject, but since I have you here....I just wanted to let you know that I have been waiting a while now for you to show some love to your Neo-Geo 4-slot cab. You know, a youtube run-down of it, just like you've done for your other babies. The selection menu, etc.

Is it not as important as your other machines, what gives?

No idea on the 8-ball question....but since you have a spare Ninty cab, how about making it an R-Type or something?

My dkjr was an eight ball action when I got it. (details here)

I would rate it below a non-working board. with a non-working board you are at least challenged and interested to figure out why it is not working. eight ball action is not a very good pool game, although it is a bit better than hustler on the 48-1. you may get tired of it quickly.

I picked up a DK Jr that was converted to Eight Ball Action and I converted it back. I didn't find the game fun at all, but I didn't give it much of a chance.

Apparently the conversion kit was made very close to here (a small company in RI if I am not mistaken) which may account for these conversions being found around here. I also have the paperwork that went with the kit in case anyone wants me to scan it for them.

My version of the game ran on an 8 way joystick, but the paperwork may address the track ball conversion..
 
I picked up a DK Jr converted to 8 ball action many years ago and I can't remember anything about the game play , so it must have sucked . I converted it back to DK Jr ,

Aha! Funny you should mention this. I just ordered a new camera, should be here tomorrow. I was already planning to make a NEO GEO video with the new camera and in HD. Woot! :)

So, look for it this week and look for me gushing over NEO MR. DO! :)
