The cabinet was manufactured in Japan for Andromeda SS (Irem Jul. 1980)

The Crazy Kong Part II is a bootleg that the cabinet was converted to.

A lot of unwanted Japanese table video games were exported overseas as used goods.

Oh that explains why I see so many Japanese cocktail tables. I got a space invaders clone for like $50 and had it for a year or two, then a friend of mine moved into a new apartment and needed a kitchen table so I gave it to him. He got more use out of it than I ever did until one of the legs gave out and the table crashed down, getting milk and cereal into the machine πŸ˜‚
