Searching the name of this early 80's game.
#310835 - 06/26/13 03:10 PM


Hi guys.

Maybe someone know the original name of this arcade game from the early 80's.
I only have this low res screenshots:




It's from a flyer (from TAFA) "El Fin del Tiempo" by Niemer, an Spanish Operator, but I think it might be a conversion from a USA/Japan original game.

Someone is able to know the original name of that spanish conversion?

Thanks!

When I was buying stuff for the Dumping Project, a PCB for "El Fin del Tiempo" came up on eBay. I didn't believe in sniping programs at the time, so I carefully waited until the last minute to bid on the board, but my computer crashed before I could place the bid. A Japanese collector got it for under $20 and I've never seen another copy anywhere since. I still kick myself into next Tuesday when I think about that.

It's a shame... I have not seen a trace of that PCB anywhere.

Do you mean then that "El fin del Tiempo" it's an original game, and not a conversion?

Thanks for your reply MrGoodwraith.

From those screenshots it strongly appears to be original, yeah.

That screenshot with the red grid looks a little like Konami's "Juno First."

Which is why I think it's probably an original game; each screenshot looks like some other game, but there's no known single game that does all of those things.

Really a weird and obscure game.
No one of my spanish contacts have seen it in the arcades back in the era.

Perhaps at some point a PCB appears somewhere...

Thanks for the answers.
