Games Included and High Score Saving

Wizard of Wor on Robby Roto Hardware

When Wizard of Wor is run on compatible Robby Roto hardware, PCB limitations mean the Wizard of Wor presentation does not include the starfield background, sparkle effect, or speech support. This limitation applies to the underlying Robby Roto hardware rather than the multigame kit itself.

Free Play, Attract Sounds, Reset, and Startup Options

Free Play allows supported games to start without inserting coins while traditional Coin-Up operation remains available when desired.

Attract sounds can be configured for 25%, 50%, or 100% of supported attract-mode rotations.

After Reset is enabled through the menu, press Player 1 Start + Player 2 Start together to restart supported gameplay without cycling cabinet power.

The startup configuration can be set to a selected game or to automatically load the last game played. Stealth Mode can boot directly into gameplay without showing the kit configuration menu.

Installation Notes

• Z80 Processor Required: A compatible Z80 processor is required on the original Bally Midway hardware.
• Socketed CPU Required: The required Z80 location must have a compatible 40-pin socket.
• No Soldering on a Properly Socketed PCB: Normal installation does not require soldering when the required Z80 location is already socketed.
• Unsocketed PCB: If the Z80 is soldered directly to the PCB, install a compatible 40-pin socket before fitting the kit.
• ROM Saver: Remove the Program/ROM/RAM board as directed while leaving the required graphics RAM boards installed.
• Robby Roto Hardware Limitation: Wizard of Wor does not provide the starfield background, sparkle effect, or speech when operated on Robby Roto hardware.
• Follow the Installation Guide: Verify CPU orientation, daughter-card seating, board placement, and all connections before restoring cabinet power.

Optional Wi-Fi and Online High Scores

Choose the Wi-Fi Enabled version during purchase if you want supported Wizard of Wor and Robby Roto scores uploaded to the HighScoreSaves online leaderboard platform.

Wi-Fi Enabled kits use a compatible 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Standard kits save supported scores locally and do not require an internet connection for gameplay, Free Play, game selection, configuration, or local score storage.

Wi-Fi cannot be added later. Select the Wi-Fi Enabled version when ordering if online leaderboard functionality is desired.
