Dogyuun non-JP release?

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 4:31 pm

It was brought to my attention on 2ch that this Dogyuun poster mysteriously looks like the "non-US release". There's no kana on it whatsoever, which is a bit whacky. However, I only see one Rom Set in MAME, and I see no mention of a non-JP release on of Gamefags or Wikipedia.

I'll take a macro of my sphincter for anyone that gives an accurate answer.

I'll take a macro of my sphincter for anyone that doesn't bother answering.

Oh oh...

No, seriously now, I never heard of a non-JP Dogyuun PCB (bootlegs aside).
But that poster looks a bit strange indeed, I wonder what's written on the bottom-right corner.?

EDIT: Ooops! Scrap that.

I found something googling around:

TRIVIA: Licensed to Unite Trading for Korea, to Charterfield for Hong Kong and South East Asia, to Atari Games for USA and to Taito corp. for Japan.

EDIT 2: On second thought, I'm not sure if that's the US poster.
I think ATARI would have put a big fat logo on it...

Atari Games also distributed the Namco PCB of "Fighter & Attacker" as well -- played it at my local arcade back in 1992. ^_~

I don't recall seeing Dogyuun at my local arcades (even if Atari Games did handle the distribution rights of it for the USA).

There is a Korean version around. The title screen has no Katakana below the logo just like on the poster, so I guess it would be likely to be in connection with it. Just an assumption of mine though.

Cheers for the replies. The flyer has katakana on it (and some kanji) so this looks to be a foreign release of some sort. It's B2 in size though, which *somewhat* rules out North America as they generally don't follow the AX and BX print sizes. Korea maybe? Who knows. The Engrish is far too thick for a white people nation release.

Happy Fucking New Year.

ZOM: Where you be finding that shit?

He found it here:

The English text speaks for Hong Kong.

Dogyuun is probably my favorite Toaplan shmup, I'd say that I probably enjoy it more than Truxton / Tatsujin and Truxton II.

my little contribution...

I have an original A4 Dogyuun flyer wich looks like your poster:

...and I have 2 pcb's of Dogyuun:
-Japanese version (licenced by Taito)
-South East Asia version (licenced by Charterfield)

Both games are the same but the South East Asia version is different because:
-there is not the story introduction
-your ship can only pick up the bomber item (purple)...the speed-up item (blue) is missing!

...so this flyer is not for the South East Asia.
Maybe it's the Korean or US version?

I'd bet a good 1000 yen or so that it's not the US version.

1: No Atari logo (as pointed out earlier)
2: More importantly, the Engrish. It's not even hidden.

My korean version is also missing the story introduction and the speed up I haven't seen either.
