Magical Spot

If you ever played this in MAME, you'll immediately notice the absence of sound effects like seen in this video:

 

 

However this person has the actual board so you can hear the sound effects that are missing in MAME:

 

 

And what a beautiful cabinet! Would love to own this cabinet

 

 

Universal released a follow-up the same year (1980) called Magical Spot II. I have a hunch that they found the original Magical Spot was too hard.

I haven't gone MAME hunting in a long time, but it used to be if a game didn't have sound it was because the sound hardware wasn't, or in some cases couldn't be emulated. The engines for those games can be coded to use samples instead,but I would guess the developers have yet to source good samples for Magical Spot.
