Saw this game in a Nintendo Donkey Kong cabinet. From what I have found it came out in 1984 , modded DK boards. Crown Vending. Neat little game. Can't say I ever seen it. Is it a low run or rare game? Thanks!
 
The conversion board for the DK jr bd is semi-rare. I have it and have sold another board. It is an easy deconversion, but there are plenty of DK jr boards. If you want it, you can get another DK and DK jr bd to put it in with a switcher.

Thank you.
 
I pulled the trigger and bought one on eBay. $100. Richie Knucklez just picked up a marquee for it at Pinfest. Had I seen it first I'd have already bought it for him. He's got puhlenty of DKs.

It's a fun game. I am not sure if I've seen it in the arcade, I think I found it in MAME randomly typing in games.

I see one a control panel overlay for sale for $49.99.. but I think that's too expensive.

Hey, has anyone ever tried any of the other conversions for DK/DKJR? I remember seeing Herbie At The Olympics, but I am not sure if what I once saw was Hunch Back Olympics or Herbie. I don't think I've seen any of the others:

8-Ball Action, Drakton, Shooting Gallery, Street Heat, Special Forces, Special Forces II, Super Bike.
 
I had the original hunchback pcb and marquee at one time. Traded it to my buddy and it was stolen from one of his storage trailers with a bunch of games and quads. :(

After this, I picked up special forces. It is corny, but better than herbie and definitely better than 8-ball action
