Description
Allows you to use your Astro Invader arcade board in a JAMMA cabinet or a super gun device.
Astro Invader began as Kamikaze, an early shoot’em up from 1979, originally developed by Konami and released only in Japan. The game was then licenced out to Stern Electronics who published it outside of Japan renaming it to Astro Invader. Astro Invader was Stern’s first video game release.
This game consists of several small boards in a small metal cage with a common backplane. The sound/control board, the video board and the backplane boards have their own separate connectors.
The adapter connects directly to the sound/contol board, and has additional wire harnesses for backplane power, and video.
