Hey guys, wanted to share my latest pickup. Finally got my hands on an original balloon fight rom set. Pretty happy to have this set and hoped everyone would enjoy seeing a pretty rare piece. Unfortunately I didn't get the elusive upright marquees but glad to have the rest. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

NICE!

So How did you get these? What's the story?

And can you take some scans of the instruction card? Maybe johnsarcade can create some English versions from it.

Seriously, this is amazing. I was always under the impression that BF was a Japanese only release, so this is killer to read.

EDIT: those pics didnt show up originally, so I didn't get to notice everything is in Japanese, ha.

It would be a good idea to dump the ROMs to see if they are the same or a different revision.
 
Balloon Fight.

Looks like the red tent marquee has been posted and translated earlier in this post, but here is a scan of what I have since it has been asked for by a few already. It is in 600 dpi and I hope it's useful to everyone who has asked for it. Some have asked where I got this and if it's an american version. I got this from japan and it looks to be like the american versions of vs games except the paperwork. The roms and ppu's are stickered and stamped in red just like american versions which makes me wonder why the ninja jajamaru set on ebay is in japanese? I'm assuming since it's a nintendo title that's why the labels look like american. Jaleco made jajamaru so I guess they stickered it their own way. Hope these are real, and I feel they are. I would be interested to hear if anyone knows other wise. Thanks again everyone and have fun.

Translated below, not perfect but good enough for my machine. Thanks for scanning the original!

A rom dump is a great idea. Unfortunately at this time I have no rom reader but plan on getting one. It may be a while but as soon as I do I'll get this rom info to the public. Thanks again everyone.
 
Not a problem. I'm glad to give a little something to the klov community. I know it's not much but it's all I have for now. Thanks to all the klover's for keeping the vintage arcade scene alive. That deserves a huge thanks from me. So to all the klov community, long live the arcades, Hell yeah.
 
Hello all, I had a lot of fun cleaning up and translating the Japanese Vs. Wrecking Crew instruction marquee (https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/nintendo-vs-wrecking-crew-red-tent-marquee-scan.408069/) so thought I'd give Balloon Fight here an attempt too. I know StrainedSky (and did a fantastic job) already did once but I wanted to clean up some other parts, size it more appropriately for printing, remove the jpeg compression artifacts, and give the translation a less literal attempt - sound a bit more human. Thank you @speedfreek101 for the scan. I hope someone find it useful.

I found a clean version of the Balloon Fight logo so was able to clean up that area a bit more.
