Name the Burn

[Phetishboy]

I am repurposing an old 13 inch Toei 100 V monitor for a cabaret project. I have no idea where I got this. There is some slight burn and I can't figure out what game it came out of. I tried to do a little contrast enhancing in the second pic to see if anybody can figure it out.

It almost looks like it might be in Japanese whatever the title is, but it's tough to say, also it looks like there's possibly burn-in from two games mixed together. I'm curious about this one too. I've got a G07 at home with three games burnt in, Food Fight, Great Swordsman and a 3rd 3-player game for the life of me I can't figure out.

I don't have one handy to test it out but doesn't showing a black light on screen burn make it stand out? I thought I heard that somewhere.

Yeah, I could try that. It's just that it's out in my garage with no easy access to a black light and it might be out there for several weeks. I was just curious more than anything else.

that 2nd pic, what is visible seems to be reminiscent of the Arkanoid logo, at least the left side

Too hard to tell for me. First word looks like it could be Ghost. Which I was thinking ghost n goblins but probably not.

I thinking I might see Looping's title in the fainter, blockier burn in, and the fact at least one game had a boarder around the screen is noteworthy.

This can definitely be classified as "useless question that will drive us nuts until we find the answer"

And here I was thinking Galaga.

Yeah black light works very well for burn identification. For example if I were to point my camera at my wizard of wor cabinet under normal circumstances you wouldn't see a thing, shine a black light on it and you get this.

Definitely "Insert Coin" under the main logo.

The border around the outside should help trigger someone's mind. I'm stumped

stop, you madman! you're triggering all the burnophobes!

nothing to be confused about. that screen burn is 100% Arkanoid like @ElectricDreamz mentioned earlier...

Maybe part of it, but I'm definitely going with the two or three different games worth of burn thing. I assume it started life in some Universal or Taito game cocktail or cabaret cabinet that then got converted to Arkanoid at some point.

That's the magic of mostly black screen games, you don't need to use prestine tubes.
