Anybody else own a Goindol?

I recently bought a Goindol at an auction. It works 100% (and is pretty
cool) and came with the marquee/bezel/CPO/manual/flyer. It's in a Congo
Bongo cabinet. Anyone else have one of these or know anything about it? I'll
get the flyer scanned and get some screenshots and cabinet art pics up soon.

I passed one up at auction...it sold for $60 I think...I am still mad at
myself for passing it up...Arkanoid and Video Pinball mixed...pretty cool.

(sorry for the double-posts)

I played one circa 1988 in a pizza parlor. Strange, but it was pretty
cool. It took me FOREVER to find the name of it when I asked about it on
RGVAC a few years back. That's the one with the dinosaurs and the
Bach/Procol Harem (Whiter Shade Of Pale) music, right?

It does have the dinosaurs - it has cool music but I don't recognize it :)

I bought my for $20 fully working with teh CPO intact, the bezel, the
marquee, manuals and the original flyer! Good deal - it will hold me til I
get an Arkanoid :)

I would love to get a working PCB. Anyone got one for sale?

So far, all I have is the marquee. Goindol, hands down, has THE WORST
looking artwork ever!!! I think Brian can back me up here. (Yes, even
worse than The Glob, Mark!) =) Nasty gray background with pitifully bad
drawings of a caveman and some dinosaurs. I'd love to see the flyer scan.
I hope it's not as sick-looking as the marquee and bezel!

True- mine has no sideart - anyone know if it actually had sideart?

It's not bad, it shows 7 or so screenshots. I'll try and get it scanned soon
(I have to have a friend do it for me).

Speaking of Goindol - what's the deal with those bonus stages? You shoot all
hhte bricks and you get to see a picture...it doesn't animate or anything.
You just see a dinosaur picture - big deal. 100 levels in the game + 16
pictures! :)
