Micon-Kit Part II [hap, anonymous, Jay Gallagher]
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/812eab4a1b4d6a1426f1e083a020bd6df46c86bc
This is SNK’s initial adventure into getting into video coinop gaming scene.
This is a big deal and thankfully happening.
To see what the coinop games looked like examine the following Twitter posts.
This first link shows the flyer currently not on either Flyer Fever or TAFA iirc.

Frank’s posts about this provide what the series of the Micon Kit games looked like
showing what is emulated in MAME and what is still needed in order to complete the trilogy
of the game series.

I am not sure if it is this as described by Frank Cifaldi: This is Micon Kit 1, aka Micon Block, SNK's very very first game. If it is, then definitely a great addition to preserving SNK’s early history.
That would then leave Kit 3 as remaining series needing to be found.

Frank Cifaldi: Micon Kit 3, aka Space Micon Kit, had two obstacles and two rows of bricks. This is what the three stages looked like, I'm not sure how they played.

Your posts are notoriously difficult to parse since they seem more like beat poetry than actual thoughts, but:

The name of the game that was added is "Space Micon Kit". It says so in the notes that you quoted. So, obviously, no, it isn't Micon Kit 1. It's Micon Kit 3, since the very beginning of that last quote says "Micon Kit 3, aka Space Micon Kit". C'mon, man.

Too much cut-copy-pasting and linking on occasion with some
of my posts. My fault with creating this thread at 3:00 AM like tv show Seinfeld
scribbling his material in the wee hours. Holistic healer tv character Tor Eckman
read my post and thought it also said NBA score Cleveland Cavs 117 - San Antonio Spurs 109
 The tv show excerpt clip explains the note.

Aww nuts. Now I feel like NFL tight end Dallas Cowboys Jackie Smith dropping the potential winning
TD pass from QB Roger Staubach in 1979 NFL Super Bowl.
I overlooked some of the words in Frank’s tweet and missed them. Bummer.
Too bad this pull request was not online yet and then I probably
would not have made the mistake. The cocktail table monitor photo doesn’t
display the 2 obstacle objects (other than the rows of blocks) when photo was taken,
but the mounted instruction cards do show the obstacles on the cards.
snk/miconkit.cpp: Add orange overlay for Space Micon Kit
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/11070
Interesting that the acetate overlay sheet is solid orange rather
than colored rows of different colors for each row of blocks like Breakout and clones.
Anyway….back to searching for the first version of the game series.
