Hard to find much info on it. It says namco 1980 on the attract screen.

All the artwork says HONYO as the 'distributor'?

looks a lot like this one in the flyer pic. though I believe mine has a square(ish) coin door vs this one almost looking like an over under.

My 3 year old loves the game so far. :)

I will try to shoot some pics after I get kids in bed.
 
Was that the one on CL in Rancho Cordova?

It looked like a PAC MAN cab painted white?

It looked brand new, nice buy!

yeah that's it, but it appears to be the original cab. There are tags, and some unique features that lead me to believe it is in it's original cab. looks like a pac cab somewhat though. In the pictures on CL it looked a lot like it. it's similar
 
I kept seeing that thing posted too. It looks like an interesting game and I'm surprised someone didn't pick it up sooner. Nice get. The upside to the bad economy is that you can grab games for cheap these days. The downside is that they can be a bear to sell when you want to make more room for all the deals you are finding!
 
see if my pictures show up here


ok disregard the last pic. it's for another thread

WOW! I would guess that is the Namco version from overseas before GamePlan licensed the game and produced it in the states - which is the version I have.

Never seen another one like it - I hope somebody can chime in and identify exactly what it is. Very KEWL and colorful looking cabinet. Looks very similar to the smaller Rally-X style cabinet. I always cracked up at the flyer for my game...

Yeah, looks like it's associated with Namcot (Namco japan), as it has the same artwork as the early Famicom game "Battle City" that was based on the arcade rendition:
