DU Update: Games & Donations (2011/01/04)

We got a rare Eolith game from 1999 called Penfan Girls. When I found the pcb it was the first time I'd ever heard of it. It's a puzzle game where you choose pieces to fit into spaces on the screen and you can rotate them around. It's sort of a bar top style game, and not bad at all for this style.






Bicycle Repairman informed me that he has dumped the worst shump game ever created. He sounded strangely proud of this and has challenged all other dumpers to find a worse one. It's actually inside of a gambling game by Subsino called X-Plan. Basically, here is the lowdown on this game. For years, operators in sketchy establishments have found ways to run illegal gambling machines and have rigged them to transform into regular arcade games when needed when they are inspected or cops show up. It's sometimes triggered by a remote control even. Subsino basically made the process less of a pain in the ass for them, you no longer have to have the machine switch to another pcb. You can set the board to load up as this shmup or do a key combo that makes it switch into it from the gambler.



So anyway, there is a mid 80's Data East game that is needed for trojaning before we can get it to work correctly but it costs over $200 and I'm tapped out. I've spend hundreds of my own money in the past couple of weeks on needed bits in Japan and new equipment upgrades, so I can't really afford to pay for much of it. So please donate if you want to help us get it. I can tell you which game it is in a PM but it's an auction so I'd rather not post it publicly.
