OMGWTFBBQ! - Domino Man lives and is DONE! Video and photos!

Last winter I picked up a non-working project Domino Man. Cracked Neck Board, Bad PCB, Bad Power Supply, etc. It was an absolute mousey disaster. The outside wasn't that bad, but man, the inside! It was an explosion of mouse hair, poop, dirt, mud, grossness, sick stuff, and other horrible things. It took a very strong stomach to clean and restore this cabinet. Once I got into it, I stopped thinking of the filth. And, well, it was worth it! Absolutely the most disgusting cabinet I have ever let into my garage. It was pretty sick.

Anywho, I am a little proud of this one. Mostly because of the board troubleshooting I did on this one. The ROM burner and a little luck saved the day. :)

Anyways... Check it out!

This will give you an idea of what it looked like all over the inside of the cabinet:

"The game's irritating isn't it?"

LOL that video was a joy to watch :D! Congrats on bringing back such a treasure John.
 
Transporting games on their side is one thing, but Ill never understand why anyone would think its a good idea to store them that way. Anyway, another job well done.
 
So what's up with that 8 ball???

The Eight Ball is on its way to being converted back into a very nice Donkey Kong. Almost done. Everyone needs a second DK, right? :)

Original blue finish. It's near perfect:

Yes that's what I mean.

Haha, it must be pretty bad if you say it's horrible. Watching your videos you seem to give some games more love than me... Games that I think are bad you will say they are O.K..... :) Funny.

I was just wondering if any Nintendo diehards have these in their Nintendo row.

I thought that this was made by Nintendo? KLOV says it is, but the screen has Seantongrove copyrights?? Not sure what's up with that.

Not made by Nintendo. They were conversion kits/hacks made by a third party.
 
What game artwork was on the cabinet under the Domino Man art? I don't recognize that either...

The artwork underneath is Lazarian. I guess Lazarian was (and is) a big turd so they started converting the Lazarian's to Domino Mans at the factory.

Mine was one of these factory conversions, it has Domino man tags from the factory.

Very nice!
