Galaga cabinet With terrorist rom? little info online about it

[Fothlyrdrag]

Hey everyone,

 

So i bought a Galaga cabinet at an auction for 60$! So i decided to fix it up.

At first when plugged in i got Nothing...

So i swapped all the fuses! bam i got music and fireing sounds but no screen..

so i pulled the CRT and noticed a fuse on the chassis and swapped it!

 

Bad part......

 

When i put it all back together and plugged it in FIRE! shot from the neck board!!!

I quickly unplugged it and began to investigate! Blown fuse and a bad Solder point on the neckboard!

desolder clean resolder + new fuses... plug it in Cross my fingers..... BAM its ALIVE!!

 

I still had to adjust the colors and scrolling ect..ect..

 

Ok so now it works perfectly coin mechs work controlls everything! its great! but wait......

 

A Helicopter? Little guys with swords??? wth i thought..

 

Apon much research i found out that my cabinet had a rom chip replaced with a so called terrorist chip!

but thats all i could find out.. they where made in 88? maybe... and nothing else about it

 

Does Anyone have any information on this chip?

Is it rare?

Is it valuable?

How many where made?

Are they still made today?

Should i get the original rom chip?

 

LMK THANKS!!!!!!

That's the Galaga hack known as "Terrorist". I did play that game at a Nickel CIty back in the 90's with a Galaga cab.
