My 1st Taito...

[Ghostlyguy]

Thanks dudes. Yeah, the condition is amazing, so I couldnt pass it up.

It works 100%.

As for the price, you know karate man never reveals his secrets. I will say it came with the heftiest price tag of any game I have bought

$1200? One just like it where I live. If, that isn't the one.

Anyways, congrats. TATIO GAMES R THE BOMB!

Beautiful Machine!

I am really starting to get into the Taito cabinets more and more - I have a Crazy Climber, Polaris, Qix, and a Ghosts N Goblins. Would love a Zookeeper ....

What ever you paid WORTH every penny. Would sell my whole collection before my zk.

VERY SWEET SCORE

Dude, is that the one? Or a different one?
Awesome either way.

Thats the one. Does it look different to you? Thanks again for the hook up, brother. I owe you one!

Jow, make sure to contact me first when you decide to sell the ZK........I'm serious.

Ive seriously gotten multiple PM's saying the same thing, hahaha. You guys are heathens! This game will make me rich some day! lol

Awesome man! What a beauty. So ya know, gameplay is one of the reasons this thing is so popular. There are some nice little secrets on how to score big.

It's all about jumping many animals at once. Good scores are in the millions.

Have fun and play that sucker!

I cant wait to get it. Ive been trying to research gameplay as much as I can. I was playing it at CAX, and was getting stoked on 100K. Little did I know 100,000 is done on 1/2 of a good jump.

$1200? One just like it where I live. If, that isn't the one.

This one came from SoCal, not AZ. I guess you are sort of in the ballpark though

Dude, Im starting to think Taito cabs are cooler than Ninty ones. I would love a few more Taito games (Jungle King, and Elevator Action for sure).

Thanks man. I think so, too.

Couple more pics:

Couple nicks here and there, but its freaking nice for being OG!

Looks the same to me, Glad I could help you attain this elusive beast. I should be finished with my total ZK overhaul/reconversion/restore in a few months. I love that game, Congrats dude.

 

[ChompingQuarters]

Nice looking ZK Jow... Congratulations!

 

[famicom]

awesome score but the sideart on ZK is hilariously bad (design not condition)

Blasphemer! I like that side art, I think it's cool.
But, to each his own I guess.

 

[modessitt]

So - when are you selling it?

HEY!!! I think he said it's a keeper!!! Haa haa.

Wow, JOW!! Looks GREAT. Congrats Bro, REALLY happy for you. NICE!

Yep...My feeling exactly (you can tell by my sig!)

Once you play Frontline---You can add that to the list!

 

[OldTymeToys]

Congrats Jow! I'm glad you're finding games on your want list. It looks super clean too. So what game is next for you? Jow Quests are turning into a monthly thing around here.

 

[GameRoomKid]

Congrats Jow. I love Zoo Keeper but it gets too boring too quick. I hope it doesn't wear on you.

 

[jow]

So - when are you selling it?

So, the first 10 jokes about me selling this weren't enough? You guys sure know how to kill a buzz about getting a game. I haven't sold any more games than anyone else around here. Sheesh.

Boring? To each his own, I guess. I'm looking forward to learning how to play this game the right way.

Sweet find! Man, that cab is in absolutely beautiful shape.

Most people don't gush about the Holy Grail they just got, then three/six/12 months later decide to sell it...

 

[gutsman004]

This game looks like it's been in a time capsule for 25+ years.Amazing condition! These cab pics are what should be on the ZK page on the klov game listings.Great find! Don't sell it,keep that gem of a game!

 

[jehuie]

It's to bad you couldn't find a nice one though.

But wow....very cool. Did you have to mortgage the house to buy it? Wait, you can't mortgage your house any more can you since they are all worth less than we owe on them.

So we will all expect you to kick everyone's butts on this game at CAX next year.

I have a Taito fetish too. I have Qix, Jungle King, Zoo Keeper, and Elevator Action now, and a Taito to be named later is on the way. I also have a Continental Circuit upright.

I've never played Front Line before. Never saw it or heard of it back in the day. The only one I have ever seen was two years ago at Funspot. Don't know why I didn't try it while I was there.
