Product information "Bagman Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit"
HighScoreSaves Bagman and Super Bagman Multigame Kit
Play Bagman and Super Bagman on a documented compatible original Bagman arcade PCB with Free Play, permanent Top 10 score and initials saving for each game, menu-driven settings, separate score tables, backup and restore, and optional Wi-Fi leaderboard support.
This HighScoreSaves daughterboard expands the original Bagman hardware into a two-game system without replacing the arcade PCB with an emulation platform, reproduction board, or multicade computer.
Bagman • Super Bagman
Select Bagman or Super Bagman from the HighScoreSaves menu.
Permanently stores qualifying scores and initials for each game.
Configure supported game, lives, score, and cabinet options on-screen.
Submit supported completed scores to HighScoreSaves leaderboards.
Two Games on Original Bagman Arcade Hardware
The HighScoreSaves Bagman Multigame Kit adds Super Bagman alongside the original Bagman game while retaining the compatible original arcade PCB, cabinet controls, monitor, and sound hardware.
Select this multigame version when both titles are wanted in one cabinet. Choose the separate Bagman Standard Kit when Bagman should remain the only selectable game.
Each included title retains its supported gameplay, controls, graphics, sound, score saving, and configurable operator settings.
Open the HighScoreSaves Game Menu
During attract mode, hold Player 1 Start for approximately four seconds to open the supported game-selection and settings menu.
Games Included
Bagman
The original maze-platform arcade game featuring gold-bag collection, ladders, elevators, mine carts, guards, and route-planning through connected screens.
Super Bagman
The expanded follow-up with additional layouts, faster action, new hazards, and a greater challenge while retaining the familiar Bagman control style.

Important PCB and Installation Requirements
- Supported hardware: Designed for documented compatible original Bagman arcade PCBs.
- PCB access required: The original arcade game board must be accessed during installation.
- 40-pin Z80 location: The kit installs at the documented Z80 processor location.
- Original processor: The original Z80 is removed from the PCB and installed on the HighScoreSaves daughterboard unless a compatible processor option is selected.
- No soldering when socketed: Installation does not require soldering when the Z80 location already has a compatible 40-pin socket.
- Soldered processor: If the Z80 is soldered directly to the PCB, a qualified arcade technician must install a compatible 40-pin socket.
- PCB cage clearance: Some cabinets may require temporary removal or adjustment of the PCB cage to provide sufficient clearance for the installed daughterboard.
- ROM removal: Remove only the designated program ROMs identified in the Bagman Multigame installation guide.
- Orientation: Verify Pin 1 alignment and inspect every processor pin before restoring cabinet power.

2x the Fun
This easy to install kit is a great way to double your Bagman fun. Both games are very challenging. I like the free play option and separate high score tables for each game. Fast shipping and great customer service.
