Description
Allows you to use your SNK Marvin’s Maze pre-JAMMA game, in a JAMMA cabinet or a super gun device.
SNK (Shin Nihon Kikaku) is a Japanese video game manufacturer best known for its Neo Geo platform and games. During the pre-JAMMA period, SNK developed a number of games with unique pinouts, and three pinout standards that were used on more than one game.
The pinout was initially created for Marvin’s Maze but later reused for other games that ran on similar hardware. These games are unique in the sense that they used two power plugs and an IDC header for connectivity instead of the typical edge connector.
