Taito "classic" pinout -- is there a definitive list?

I'm curious if there is a definitive list of games that utilize the "Taito Classic" wiring class. Here are the games I know that work for sure and these are the ones most commonly referred to when you see mention of Jamma adapters for this wiring class:

- Elevator Action
- Jungle Hunt
- Jungle King
- Alpine Ski

Others that I have found pinouts for that would appear to be compatible:

- Big Event Golf
- The Legend of Kage
- Wild Western
- Front Line
- Pirate Pete
- Tin Star
- Birdie King 2
- Chack 'N Pop
- Pit Run
- Return of the Invaders
- Fairyland Story

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thx
 
Arkanoid, for sure.

Take this with a grain of salt, as Star Wars is NOT a Taito Classic:

And while a Taito Classic adapter or connector will usually power these boards up and give you video, you won't be able to play them all. Obviously Jungle Hunt doesn't use the spinner that Arkanoid uses, or the rotary device Frontline uses...
 
Yeah, thanks.. There are a ton of games listed as "Taito Classic" that have no information in their listings what so ever, so I am not so sure I would believe that list (I checked there myself before posting) :)

Well, it's easy to check the pinouts of them to see if they matchup...
 
OK.

Alpine Ski will not directly work with the same connector/harness.
All the video/power/sound connections are correct, but the left/right inputs do not map to the same left/right as the other Taito SJ series games.

(they tie into what would be the 2nd player connector on a cocktail harness).

You can fix this by altering the ROMS or making a couple of wire jumpers on the board or harness. Of course, the jumpers would be incompatible with Wild Western and Front Line or any cocktail cabinet setup.

Time Tunnel is also directly pluggable into a Elevator Action/Jungle King setup.
