What is this cocktail?

[giantkeeling]

This was on Gumtree yesterday, it's been taken down now. It was described as Taito, and not working, and it was £75 ono. I would have bought it, but the seller didn't respond to my questions. Anybody any idea what it would have been?

The control panel has KARATECO written on it and the yellow button is an addition.

So you are looking for a game with left-right and fire...

Edit: Same cab in the Moon Cresta flyer but with a black top.

Don't know how you read Karateco, i couldn't! I typed it in google, and i followed a link to Klov. They said it was a Space Invader type game. But, on Ebay, there are some Karateco flyers for sale. It seems that Karateco were a manufacturer of presumably bootlegs. There's flyers for their versions of Crush Roller, Stratovox, and Frogger under different names. Interesting!

Oh yes, Moon Cresta. Nice detective work!

I was trying to figure out why there appear to be two giraffes on the cp and recognised the logo as I have a Van-Van Car PCB with it on.

The Karateco logo is quite recognisable.. They were distributed in Europe by the Stambouli brothers.. They had generic cabinets they made and shoved any old galaxian bootleg in there they got.. lots of games, no one particular game would have been in that cabinet.

Very interesting, thank you.
