Here's something you don't pull out of a warehouse every day. Can you say Bugs?

Before the big arcade crash there Gorfy boy, super-rare games Hans has thar too! Nice color vector Cinematroinics games, never seen one in person! Good score Hans!
 
Both are complete. One's almost working, throwing up some weird vectors and garbled sounds. Other is completely dead. The color convertor board is unique but the rest of the hardware not uncommon. Monitor is a 6100 and the board is a ccpu with an add on massive ram board. I have 3 or 4 spare board sets in the pile somewhere. They'll both be up and 'boxing' soon.


wow. do either of them work?
 
Very cool. They look to be in decent shape, too. What year were they manufactured?


KLOV info:

Year: 1981
Class: Wide Release
Genre: Shooter
Type: Videogame
Conversion Class: unique

Although not technically part of the Cinematronics B/W conversion class, Boxing Bugs shares many similarities to the classic Cinematronics architecture. The CPU board is basically the same board used in all of the Cinematronics B/W vector games, but this version was heavily modified with factory installed jumpers and also includes an extra ROM board. The Color Converter board takes the black and white video output from the CPU board and converts it to color in order to drive the Wells-Gardner K6100 series monitor.
