There the real tiny games for the kiddies in 82.

Heres the flyer for pirate treasure to see their actual scale size.

According to http://unmamed.mame.net/non_other80.html these are "Most Wanted" ROMs, too.

If someone here buys these, they may want to send them to be dumped.

When I was a little kid, that game was great!  It was really easy...  I could play it for quite a while on a quarter, unlike anything else out there.

I had always wondered about that game, because I knew I was really really good at it, but I didn't understand why.  I was really excited to find it in Mame, so I could play it again.  It still confounded me, though, as to why the game would be so darned easy until I saw it at the Family Funspot in New Hampshire, and saw that it's a tiny little machine made for lil' ones.

Those have been listed as most wanted forever, despite the fact that there are quite a few Moppet cabinets and boardsets kicking around. I know one guy who has owned at least 7 moppet cabinets and over a dozen boards in the last few years.
