High price... You dont see that conversion often, so I would say the price is ok...

Also, Andy is one great guy to deal with - you'll definitely get the kit as advertised from him.

Converts a game board to another game.

Ah, I understand.

You can play both games than like on that Berzerk/Frency-modul from Jrok?

Btw, Andre, I sent you a PM some days ago ;)

No, you're completely mixing up stuff.

Imagine it is 1983. You are an operator and your Galaxian machine is not making the money like it used to do. Now you could buy a new cab, but that is pretty damn expensive. Then you look in a arcade operators magazine and you see an add for an upgrade kit that converts Galaxian to another game.
That is a cheap way to get a "new" machine and earn more on the same cab that you already have....
This is such a kit. These kit came in various "builds" ranging from simple EPROM swaps (remove old EPROMS, put in new one's) to extra PCB's like this (In this case put in a nice case).
You could not select games or even play the old game, it was a "one way" conversion, there was no need to play the old game, that was boring and done at that time ;)


The Jrok boards are of course of very recent date and are complete replacements of an entire board-set.
All the original electronics of such a board-set (7 boards with Berzerk/Frenzy !) are "compressed" into a Jrok board.
 You do not attach it to an existing board like the kits mentioned above.
