Battlezone
Excellent kit. Easy install. I like how you can make the attract sound more or less. I use 1-4. You can turn off if that’s your preference.

Super fun, super easy to install worth every penny
So I got this kit a little while back and I absolutely love it! Just like they say it's easy to install and I love watching my scores and not having to coin up on every game. In fact by being able to hold the high scores it allows me to come back after I've turned off the machine turn it back on and challenge myself again.. it helps with the replayability
