Blue Vs. Orange Cabinets?

(1/3) > >>

The Rube:
So why 2 different color cabinets? I read rumors that when DK JR. came out that there was such a high demand for the original game that Nintendo started using DK JR orange cabs to fill orders. Is there any truth to this? Just Curious...

marky_d:
Hmm, that's a new one I haven't heard before. Just speaking from experience and from what I have read I'm kind of doubting that this was the case. In all my arcade travels back in the day, I don't ever recall seeing an "orange" Donkey Kong. When Donkey Kong Junior was released I believe Donkey Kong's popularity was waning a bit, so I really don't see this happening. If anyone has other information about this or recalls seeing an Orange DK, I'd be interested in hearing about it for sure!

Dustin(tiptop)Myers:
Not an orange DK. But I do have a Blue DKjr.
the backplate states it as a DKJR.

marky_d:
The_Rube, there isn't any chance that you might be getting the DKJ orange cabinets mixed up with the Radarscope red cabinet conversions to Donkey Kong is there?

ChrisP:
I do believe that's Mr. Rusty Quarters...
