DJ Boy (Arcade)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

DJ Boy is a story of two boy street dancers, Bob and Tom, who have to retrieve their boombox after a bunch of jerks kick it away and steal it.

Not quite Jet Set Radio.

Unused Graphics#

A Taito logo is present in the game's graphic data. Kaneko used to develop games for Taito, so this makes sense.

Portions of a Williams logo are also present in the US versions of the game. It's possible that they wanted to publish the game at one point before Kaneko struck a deal with American Sammy. These graphics are not present in the Japanese version, where the Sega logo is instead.

The game also has a fairly large amount of unused graphics for breakable objects such as diner stools, powerups, and background scenery stored in the graphic data.

Regional Differences#

Copyright#

The Japanese version displays a copyright notice on boot. The international versions don't have an equivalent notice, and instead goes straight to the intro sequence.

Title Screen#

Japan	US	World

The respective publisher logos were added in the Japanese (Sega) and US (American Sammy) versions. Additionally, the copyright section was expanded and updated in the US version.

Narrator#

The Japanese release has Demon Kogure, Seikima-II's frontman, narrate quips during the intro and at certain points during the game. The international versions replaced him with Robert Weston Smith, better known as Wolfman Jack.
