Game Details

Four games in one - Tanks, Grid Bugs, Light Cycles and MCP Blocks. Each level is named after a different computer programming language. The stylish cabinet features 4 lights, 2 of them flourescent.

TECH NOTE: One of the most common problems with MCR boards is their flimsy ribbon cables. Over the years these cables get brittle, making them easier to crack causing the game to not work. One work-around is to replace these ribbon cables with SCSI 50-pin ribbon cables with IDC connectors on either end. The IDC connectors are 2 rows of 25 pins and the pinout for the boards is 24 pins so make sure they're connected properly when replacing these. Solves many problems associated with MCR/II games.

***** by erikthe10man. Comment: "Excellent game!! One of the few games that encompassed different gaming genres successfully on one coin-op. The light cycles were the best part of the game - albeit derivitive of "Surround"." 2004-01-18 16:31:48Z
