Game Introduction

You must recover DJ's stolen boom box. DJ and OJ skate through five different neighborhoods filled with a variety of bizarre characters. Collect the musical notes that appear from the defeated "big, bad guys" to earn stars, which when accumulated, earn extra lives.

Game Play

A player can defend himself using the punch, kick and jump buttons. By using different button combinations, the player can execute more elaborate moves. Repeatedly pressing the same buttons will cause DJ to perform various kinds of punches and kicks. When a player falls, shaking the joystick will allow him to get up more quickly.

And of these, 3 are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 21 are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

For Sale - There is one active VAPS member with an extra DJ Boy circuit board for sale.
