I picked this up years ago. It is the NAMCO version and has been stored rolled in a tube. There is a little wrinking on the edges but I don't see any other issues. Since this hasn't been reproed to my knowlege, I'm not sure what to ask. I'm open to offers and I take paypal.

I didnt know there was a namco version of this game....

Namco was actually the creator of the game but licensed it in the US to Atari.

PP2 was actually offered as a upgrade kit by Atari in the US,
but dedicated PP2s were made by Namco in Europe.

Ironically, the PP2 sideart contained in the Atari Upgrade kit
had the Namco logo.

Few operators bothered with installing the sideart,
choosing instead to go the easy route with only the Marquee, bezel and CP stickers .

This is why you sometime come across these "NOS" PP2 side artwork stickers

--

For those curious to see what the PP2 artwork looks like,
I had the opportunity to compare both the Namco and Atati games many years ago.

I even posted a little web page about it....

Polpe Position II art

Looks like I have my work cut out for me. I'll measure it and post some photos later. I wonder if it is dedicated NAMCO art or conversion art for the Pole 1 cabinet?

We'll know later today.
