I've found out it's from the guy who created space invaders and it's his first ever game , so it's quite special

Holy crap! I am jealous! I have a DK cabaret, that is about as rare as I have.

I would love a sheriff or space launcher what I call a cabertail. It is a tall standing height cocktail.

That and monkey magic.

I am still kicking myself for not buying a space demon caberet for $400 locally.

I had asked Howard Phillips about these early Nintendo cabinets and he never saw these in the Nintendo warehouse when he worked there.

https://www.facebook.com/howard.phillips.102/posts/520778844618057

He said that Ron Judy, and Al Stone who imported Nintendo games before Nintendo of America was formed would know about how many and what type of these games ended up imported to the USA.

Ron Judy, and Al Stone ended up forming Nintendo of America with Nintendo of Japan.

I made a video talking a this unique space launcher/sheriff cabinet.  I have a few Japanese friends in Japan and they have never seen these cabinets either. If they did exist in Japan they are likely in a dump or converted to something else.

http://youtu.be/RkMLpSYMMhU

The space demon was a Japanese cabaret cabinet that was obviously imported by far East, and so far there are only 3 known to exist, Todd's, Bradd, and one that I could have bought off of SRW locally but it ended up being shipped off to Europe. DOH!

Hi mate
That's a great vid and that dk cabaret you need to hang on to as it's beautiful.
I find it amazing you have spoke to these people that worked for Nintendo wow
Can you send his Facebook page link again please as it doesn't work .
Also I would like to share with you two other offical licensed Nintendo cabs that came out in Germany
One is the wall mounted machine which I don't have any pics of but I do know exist.
And the other is the one pic below http://i.imgur.com/QdnZGpT.jpg[/img]]

As you can see the art work is very cool and almost exactly the same just smaller .
If you are looking for any other Nintendo games let me know as they do turn up here.
