Name That Screen Burn?

[ataritoobin]

I'm trying to figure out the screen burn on the monitor in my Aero City cabinet. Looks like it could be from multiple games.

It's actually quite faint and only noticeable on games with an ugly green or blue screen so I've torqued this photo out in Photoshop and inverted it to make it more pronounced (the circle and "Credits 00" were from the game I paused it on - top and bottom bars are camera refresh bars

).

GAME OVER is in a pretty unique font. Looks like there's a title screen with two faces, one of which (on the left) may have a ninja mask, pretty cartoony style. There is "KO bar" burn in on top, not surprising since the CP is for SFII Dash, but there appears to be character boxes where the faces of the characters would be located on either side of the bar (so perhaps something in addition to SFII'). "TOP RANKING" towards the top from a high score table. Looks like possible game title towards the lower third.

Any ideas?

we were thinking of doing a thread like this on Arcade Otaku

I've hunted for about 45 minutes and can't come up with an answer. I think your best bet is the two faces, but I think they're from an attract mode rather than a title screen which makes things really tough to search.

It's like a magic eye, I can't see the faces!

I was tempted to say Shinobi, all those blocks would fit in with the backgrounds on levels, the title screen has a big face with a more prominent part which could account for what looks like 2 faces. However the game over font is different.

The face (if it is) on the right looks to have spikey hair. Its not some sort of SF2 is it?

The faces are really distinct when you get them. There's a ninja fellow on the left, and a karate kid type on the right.

I initially thought street fighter 1 as the ninja and ryu works, but i dont think thats the game over font,

I can see the faces, and it looks like they're attached to tiny bodies underneath?

I thought maybe something along the lines of Super Puzzle Fighter II, but none of the title screens seem to look like this.

When we've figured out this one, can I upload my screenburn pic? It's been driving me mad since I got the cab in April!

I'm gonna say it's Neo Geo based or a scrolling beat em up.

Id say its a girl head on left & spikey hair dude on right both with small bodies ??
I don't think the game is fight related tho ?

ataritoobin, I hope you don't mind me adding my own screenburn to your thread.

I wouldn't say it was bad screenburn, but along with the Great Wall of China, it's visible from space!

Here's how it looks:

Here's the bit's I've figured out (I think):

Any ideas?

Don't think either of these are Altered Beast, mate.

Definitely not mine, anyway (vert).

It was the timer box mid-top screen that gave it away, then I found a screenie with the clouds on it as well
