Check out this sweet NOS kit I found while exploring my warehouse find this afternoon. I have seen a couple people post about this game before, but mostly they are posts like "what the hell is 'The Glob?'". It is a kit made especially to convert a pac-man by providing a daughter card (a-la miss pac man) and swapping a few roms on the main board. I'm probably not going to sell this as I think it is too cool. Just doing a little show-and-tell.

that is cool...

I'd say do the conversion and have a super rare game up and running...
 
Yeah. Perhaps. There were a few pac-cabs that had been converted to something crappy. At least this would be unique and quasi-dedicated seeing as it was made for pac man. Too many projects right now though...
 
Personally I really appreciate it when KOLV'ers even jsut share this sort of thing.

While I'd love to OWN this kit, I still enjoy seeing photos of things like this still being turned up.

If anyone has not played this game before I highly recommend it. I think Phet was saying something about it a while back but I might have the person mixed up.

It's a pretty good concept and is a fun game.
 
Yep I am definitely looking and will buy that kit from you if you are selling Preston. Been looking since I saw one at the 'warehouse' where I picked up my Q*bert. PM me if you are.
 
i have one in my garage, already converted. It's a cool game, has some playability. it needs a new cpo, and sideart, they are on it, but could be better. Has a sound issue not sure why, sound just quits.. can be had for 350.00 any takers?
 
I kinda regret selling all of the kits I got from my basement buyout, so I really think I'm gonna keep this one. It looks too fun to give up right now. Let me sit on it for a while.

The other 2 kits were of the same game - Donkey Kong 3. It came with board, cables, nameplate, marquee, bezel, sideart, pcb cage, and instruction manual. I was only able to find one control panel though.

Dont know if I'm gonna sell these either as I may decide to pimp out a crappy convered nintendo cab and keep the other to show as a trophy to newbs who come over to geek out. Ha!

Thats cool..I have the very same kit with all the pieces too...
Jeff..there isn't a manual..that comes with it but it does have sheet with basic information for the conversion process...I'm going to do a dedicated cab with all that art and some extra stuff....thanks to Jeff..

yeah, what he said ^^^

Just two sheets of paper about swapping roms and soforth.

No sale on the DK3 stuff yet, and even if I do, it will probably be a piece at a time unless someone wants to pay a premium for a one-stop-shop, but I doubt it.
 
I had a few of those dk3 kits to..sold a few and still have a few myself..I like the game as it grows on you..it doesn't have the following of dk..or dkjr..

Click to expand...

just curious, how much did you sell your kits for?
 
May I ask what on Earth possesses you to place NOS plexi marquees and bezels face down onto gravel cement? Are you nuts?
 
ohhh ok then....fheww

This is kewl...so what....paint a pac-man red with yellow t-molding to match the sideartwork? Hmmm. You got some serious possibilities with that. Congrats on the find.
