Nichibutsu Moon Shuttle to JAMMA Adapter

Description

Allows you to use your Nichibutsu Moon Shuttle arcade board in a JAMMA cabinet or a super gun device.

Moon Shuttle is a horizontal shoot’em up arcade game that was released by Nichibutsu in 1981. It was licensed to Taito for US manufacture and distribution. The unique features of this game are 3-directional joystick controls and the ability to extent your game by purchasing additional ships.

Moon Shuttle as well as other Nichibutsu games of that period, especially those with unusual controls, have unique pinouts. This adapter therefore, works only with this one game.
