PGM - Poly Game Master Arcade Games & Hardware - Information

[mjmjr25]

Made a large update to the OP including information about the new PGM/CAVE conversions of EspGaluda / Ketsui / DDP DOJ BL

Updated the price guide a bit as well to indicate a slight drop in KoV (first one) and Oriental Legend (first one) as well as an uptick in DDP II and Martial Masters.

Those mini boxes are so nice! could you place a household item next to them to illustrate size?

How many 4 player games are there? Specifically beatemups?

[sevin0seven]

i remember some of the games you posted when i visited you last year. good times.

PGM/IGS PCB only (CAVE)
EspGaluda - $300
Ketsui - $600

Wasn't DDP DOJ also a PGM board?
Developed/released around the same time as Ketsui, IIRC

These new cart conversions of CAVE games are interesting.
Who is handling these?
Where can you find them for sale?

DDP DOJ was released on the PGM2 hardware (in cart format) and also on caged PCB, but not on bare PCB like EspGaluda and Ketsui:

PGM2 - cart format w/motherboard


PGM Caged PCB:

The guy in Austria who cracked the GNET, NAOMI and Kaneko bios, as well as cracked the Kaneko conversons, and the GNET and NAOMI flash roms - is the same guy who has done this work. He has singlehandedly cracked a ton of arcade hardware that no one else has been able to - he is both loved and loathed for it.

If you are interested seeing his work, this is his website: http://www.arcademodbios.com/

He sells them via his email and then straight paypal sales (gift or +4%). I had done deals w/him on shmups forum previously so was comfortable w/gift on my purchases. Ships from Austria - takes about 10 days.

If anyone is interested in contacting him - I can get you his email, but I don't have his permission to post it for public consumption.

@Fast,, 4p games for PGM1:
Gladiator Road of the Sword
Oriental Legend
Oriental Legend Super
Knights of Valour (I want to say 5 of the 7) have 4-player support, honestly, i'd have to check exactly which they are - the games are all different, yet still mostly blend together.

@Mark - yeah, we played Martial Masters and Killing Blade; not sure if you recall, we really liked Martial Masters.

We also played through Demon Front and then you, me and Jim all played through Knights of Valour Super Heroes Plus (3+ hour button mashing marathong )

i recalled a very...very long beat em up game. we stayed up really late just to beat it.

I recently bought the PCB version of Demon Front and for pretty much the same price as the cart version. I had no idea that some PGM games had PCB versions, is there a list of PGM cart games that also had a PCB release? Are the PCB versions generally more or less expensive than the cart versions or about the same?

Worked out perfect as of all the PGM games Demon Front was really the only one that intrigued me but I didn't want to have to buy a motherboard just to play one game.
