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

Crazy Climber was released by Nichibutsu in 1980. It was licensed to Taito for US manufacture and distribution. It was Nichibutsu’s most successful game of this period and the first to introduce climbing mechanics in a video game. Another unique feature of this game is the 2 joystick controls used to move the player limbs to climb the skyscraper.

This adapter handles the unique controls in two ways. One, is to use player 1 and player 2 joysticks for single player controls, or two, the right joystick is replaced by buttons, the direction of which is dictated by the typical position of the buttons on the control panel (LEFT:1, UP:2, RIGHT:3, DOWN:4). The control scheme can be changed using the jumpers on the adapter.

Crazy Climber 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.
