Easy peasy to install, don't have to manually add credits anymore.

Kit has the usual bells & whistles, and yes you can reach the Player 1 button and the rear power switch using both hands. Apparently there are several Dig Dug board configurations and this kit worked just fine with mine (the middle picture in the instruction guide).

Works great dealing with my Namco dig dug board

Not only does it save scores, and have free play which, is great it works with my Namco board. Most people have an Atari board but with either one it's easy to install. So this is good news for those outside of the United States who are more likely to have a Namco boardset. This is totally worth every penny!
