I thought Crazy Climber was a Taito game, and I know there is Nichibutsu version as well. I cannot seem to find any evidence of a Sega version of Crazy Climber.

Anyway, I thought this was interesting and I'd share it.

Yeah that really is interesting. I dont believe ive ever seen one of these. A bootleg ? a true Sega release ? Never seen that artwork before. Its deffinately cool !! probably most rarest of the rare
Cool, I remember somebody in the old Crazy Climber thread here was describing that artwork. I have some pics of cocktail Sega CCs, but have never seen an upright. Awesome!

I think that was me. I believe this was the art i was refering to.
Here are some pics of the Sega Cocktail I found on some Japanese sites. Looks like it's still on location.

Someone should scoop this up and take lots of scans. That is a great use for a Sega cabinet and not too bad of a looking machine. Definatly rare.

If that was in Michigan I would be all over it..

If I did not already have a Crazy Climber I would pay the shipping this is a unique piece and in excellent condition.

I already had a Deluxe and now have a nice dedicated cocktail. With current projects I don't have the funds to spend but this is special.

I agree, very unique. One of us collectors should snag that up.
I'm guessing since Nichibutsu liscensed it to Taito here in the US, but still made machines of thier own, it was obviously liscensed by Sega for Japan. Sega was a much larger operation than Nihon Bussan, back in the early 80's. They probably did it to make the cabinets look a bit more 'proffesional'.

Honestly it looks like a cabinet from the time period Bally was working with Sega.

Awesome find though...
