Galaxian Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit

Galaxian Multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit Drop-in multigame kit for original Galaxian-hardware PCBs. Adds a selectable game menu, high-score save, and Free Play with no soldering or special wiring required. Key Features Easy install — no soldering, board mods, or special wiring. Plug in and go. Boot to a specific game — optionally skip straight to your favorite. On-screen Game Menu — choose titles from an in-game selector. High Score Save — stores the Top 5 scores (per game). Free Play — no coins needed (sets 2 coins per game behavior when disabled). Coin Up — coins/tokens still supported. Menu-driven DIP settings — change options without opening the cabinet. ROM Saver — original program ROMs may be removed to reduce power/points of failure. Cabinet support — works in Upright or Cocktail cabinets. Important Notes Use a 4-way joystick for best control across all included games. Some harnesses may need UP/DOWN leads added for certain titles. Set PCB DIPs: DIP3 = ON, DIP4 = ON, DIP5 = OFF. (DIP5=ON clears NVRAM each reset and will prevent saving.) Always review the installation guide before installing.
