I found this cool control panel overlay the other day. I apologize for the lighting which makes it have a wavy look, but its pristine. Its a metal control panel overlay.

From everything I have been searching on the net, I cannot find a single shred of a dedicated cab of any type of a Bermuda Triangle, yet I have this dedicated control panel. Cool game with two rotary joysticks.

Anyone know anything about this?

Do you have a pic by any chance. Such a super cool game. Would love to see a dedicated cabinet. Its made by SNK this control panel, its original, do you mean its a conversion control panel? For like a cabaret or something?
 
I think that is the Japanese control panel for one of the cocktail or candy cabs of the day. Ikari has one as well. I don't think it was dedicated just part of the kit.
 
I have a working board and marquee for the US version of the game, which feature smaller ships and better gameplay. Fun game would ove to build a cab for it are u selling this cp?
 
Ok so found some more missing pieces to the puzzle with this Bermuda Triangle control panel. I found three other panels with the SNK on the sides.

I am thinking these are from a candy cab, can anyone confirm for sure or not?

Also, what fighting game are the two new panels I found from?

Amazingly all four panels still have the thin plastic protective film covering the artwork on the panels, so these are in really nice shape.

I will be posting all four of these in the for sale section so if anyone is interested, let me know:

That's the Japanese release of Victory Road panel. I forget what the Victory Road Japanese game title is offhand.
 
Went through every version of the SNK candies over at AOtaku

Not one of em matches what you've got there. It almost seems like some kind of table, or stand up control panel designed to be hot swapable. Most candies would only have the little insert panel itself swapable, not the whole front panel, though if you had enough of em laying around....*shrug*

Might throw this up over at neo-geo, and AO, and see if they can give you more info. They are very cool though...especially as I have a Bermuda Tri. board, for a rotary candy panel project im doing myself.

Also Dogou Souken is the Japanese name for Victory Road.....http://system16.com/hardware.php?id=879&gid=18568#18568


Hope this helps some.

Victory road in Japanese is Dogousouken


The control panels are likely sanwa compatible exchangeable panels for use on cocktails and japanese mini upright wooden (Often referred to as "Woody" cabs) cabinets. Some examples.

It's gotta be from something other then these Japenese wooden arcades. They look more modern. The sides are really nice molded SNK plastic. Some thought went into these.

I am not on any of those other forums. Maybe one of you can post these for me if you dont mind.

They also go look like they were pop in, pop off. They both also had SNK LS-30 rotaries at one point.

I would love to know which cabs these were from.

Victory road was released in 86. The modern candies were made years after that. The cab I've seen them in is similar to that wooden cocktail.

Never seen much info on JP woody cabs on arcadeotaku. Many of these branded control panels were sold with the boards as kits. As i mentioned, many of these cabs used a standard panel drill layout that was originally made by sanwa. Sanwa, Semitsu and RS (formerly River Service) still make generic JP woody/cocktail control panels.

Here is my JP mini cab with similar control panel before i gave it away.
 
Mother of pearls.... you found it. So they were in a cocktail type cabinet. Does that cabinet have the same cp on the other side, or only one side?

As i mentioned lots of those panels were interchangeable and while most were intended to be used on cocktails, most small wooden mini uprights were able to use them.
