I might be able to get some of these slimline cocktail games but I can't find much info on them.

Does anybody on here have one?

They look pretty cool.

I also think they will sell for more than I want to pay right now.
I have to find out what games they are too.

I found these flyers that have slimlines

Astro Fighter

Dual
This one you have 2 games in one so I'm sure this will cost more.

Are those the only games that came in them?

Thanks,

I think that is all the games that came in that cabinet, but I'm not 100% sure. If the price is right, I would definitely go get the game. Slimlines look pretty cool and are fairly rare.
 
Slimline..., finally I know what they are called, cool :)

We got one of these with Star Raker in it (slighty different version of Borderline, no bootleg, not even in Mame AFAIK).
Actually we got a second Star Raker slimline, but it is empty ;)

Had a third one with Crazy Kong in it, but that was of course a conversion.

I'm trying to compile some information on early Sega/Gremlin PCBs and revisions. Although the sound boards were often unique to each game (toggling a line to a sound board to produce a unique sound generated by various bits of analog circuitry), a lot of the games themselves are ROM swaps on the same motherboard.

Please let us know if you get one of these cabinets, and especially if you get a chance to examine the boards.

(Astro Fighter was actually a Data East game using a card cage, a backplane, and a custom wiring harness, but the other three - Carnival, Digger, and Star Raker, I believe, are all based the early sega/gremlin VC Logic or Dual Game VIC boards. If it's got one or two rows of 2708s, it's based on this set of hardware.)

I'll document as much as I can if I get one.

Do you know anything about the Dual system they had?
That sounds pretty interesting.
 
I wonder if Star Raker was only released in Germany.
I only looked at the US flyers because I was lazy I guess.
Actually the one they have for Star Raker doesn't show the slimline.

I don't know, maybe. The control panel on the slimline has german text, but then the coin door has a Yen sign :confused:. The empty one we have has even a japanese control panel.
The operator where we got that game supposedly had good contact with the german distributor Loewen, so maybe they gave him stuff to test, I really don't know. I have never seen such slimlines before or since here in Germany.
