I'm trying to set my brother up with a Robotron, but dedicated Robotron prices are a bit on the high side. I have an arcade operator friend who's offered me a multi-board that supposedly includes an accurate representation of Robotron. I've heard of other multi-boards (60-in-1, etc.) that don't emulate the original games quite correctly. My information on this board is somewhat limited, but if anybody recognizes it & knows how Robotron plays (or has any other valuable info), I'd be grateful if you chimed in. "Classic Horizontal Game Collection" Brand: ik 1 small, single board outputs CGA/VGA/JAMMA Games included: Bubbles Joust Robotron Blaster Splat Rally X New Rally X Battle City Mario Bros. Ghosts 'n Goblins Solomon's Key Gradius Sky Kid Ice Climber Super Mario Bros. Do! Run Run Kick Rider Defender and Stargate are available with purchase & installation of another chip. Thanks, -Jason |

Looks like what they call a 19-in-1... it is the same as the 60-in-1 (icade), but is made for horizontal monitors. Paradisearcadeshop.com has em for sale for $150... dont look like you need to pay extra for Defender and Stargate. |

How accurate the Robotron emulation is will depend on what version of mame is running on that board. If it is based on an older mame version (highly probable) then it won't properly slow down when too many things happen on screen at once. Honestly that isn't all that important unless you are going for a marathon run on default settings. I owned the older Jamma multiwilliams board with robotron with the incorrect emulation and it was still an absolute blast to play. If your brother wasn't a real expert then he would never even notice the difference in the first place. |

Thanks for all your replies--I've been able to locate much info on the PCB. It seems to be generally well-received, but some also criticize it. It might do the trick for my brother. Thanks, -Jason |
