You're thinking of Wizard of Wor, not Warlords...

Eh, you plug it in, and you play it.  Pretty decent analogy.

If Ms. Pac-Man was a Jamma, then you can plug in the board, unfortunately, it wasn't.  His analogy does not hold water, but it's more likely to hold hot air.  Yes, he can plugin in Ms. Pac-Man, but only to the electrical outlet in the wall.

Before the JAMMA standardization you could only swap out boardsets with the same pinout.  Pac-Man would work.  Galaxian would *almost* work.  The analogy is sound, it just applies more to games made after '87.
