Description
- Space Pirate is a copy of Cinematronics' Rip Off. Wether we're
talking about a licensed game or a pirated copy, is unclear. Reason is
that on the CPU PCB the two logos of Cinematronics and Zaccaria are
co-existing side by side.
Cabinet
Types - Upright cab with Color Finish, Upright
cab with wood finish and the Cocktail cab The Cocktail cab version has been known to still exist for a while. The
two versions of the Upright were lost for some time until
now, in Feb. 2011, the colorful Upright cab has been found - link. More pictures will follow...

find them
elsewhere. A
non conclusive List is in the "Electronics
