I know that there is many titels from SNK's early days on Jamma boards. Does anybody have a list? How many are there?

Like the "Prehistorical Island 2. Where is the first one? Jamma?

I sure would like to know this...

Thanks for any info.

Yes, the original Prehistoric Ilse was a JAMMA board.

Fr an idea of all the SNK games, best place to look is a list of MAME supported games with their developers....

Only big titles I can think of off the top of my head is Ikari Warriros, but I am sure there are some other notable pre Neo titles. I think SNK did PI also.

I have resently purchased a cabinet (4 slot MVS) with a jamma connection. I will try to track down and buy all the older SNK arcade games. Original Ikari Warriors is one! I should get them cheep.

I'll leave some comments of games I find.
Any other out there with older/before Neo, SNK games?

If I remember correctly, Ikari Warriors will not work in a Neo cab due to the monitor (It must be on its side) and also the fact that Ikari uses a different type of stick.

I have seen prehistoric island and it is a Jamma board. It reminds me of a older Turbo graphices games. Iraki Warriors uses a rotary control that is not on the MVS cab and yes the monitor is postion verticly.

You would probably want to get ahold of a Iraki warriors 3 cab and use it for the older 2 boards. Prehistoric island is a horizontal shooter and will work on the MVS.

Older Neo JAMMA games I can remember:

Ikari Warriors
Ikari Warriors, the Return
Ikari Warriors, the Rescue (?)
P.O.W.
Iron Tank (?)
Guerilla War
Athena
Prehistoric Isle

I know there are many more, I just can't recall them.

I can change the monitors positsion if wanted. I can have it verticly. But I will still have problems with the controlle though. Ikari Warriors 2-3 are maybe better options to begin with. Did the second Ikari Warriors use this special controller?

Prehistorical Isle is a must for me. I have nice memorys of this game.

[I did not recognise the pictures of the PI. So it seems that I have confused this game with an another. Hmmm... I have not playd this game before. ]

Is there any way to know the meg count on jamma boards?

Prehistorical Isle 2 seems to have different game layout though.

I thought Prehistoric Isle was a very shallow game. It had no depth and was pretty much boring. I'll take Blazing Star anyday.

Ok. This topic is SNK history. I'm shareing some pictures to you all who don't want to put time and effort to search for these classic games.

Those games seem to be one of the first arcade releaces from SNK:

Fantasy. (1981)

Ozma Wars. (1979)

Satan Saturn (1981)

PS! Look for the cool little SNK logo on the right lower corner.

And finally"Psyco Soldier" (1987)

I'm collecting old SNK jamma/psb, so these games would be fun to get hold on.
