Hi there,
I picked up my very first cocktail machine on the weekend and it is in
need of some work.
My question out to the group is actually about changing the game. It's
a Donkey Kong Jr. right now and although that game is fun enough, I
was thinking of converting it to another game that has more enjoyable
"head-to-head" action. I was thinking of Hat Trick.

Anyone got any advice on what is involved in doing this? I can see the
circuitboard with all its connectors and, assuming I could locate a
Hat Trick board, would it be a simple matter of unhooking the
connectors and switching boards?
Both games are 4-way joystick plus one button games so there shouldn't
be any hassle with controls, should there?
Anyone even seen a Hat Trick circuitboard?
If I took one out of a standup cab of Hat Trick, would that work? As I
say I've never dealt with a cocktail machine before. Luckily Hat Trick
works very nicely since the game is bird's eye view even on the
standup cab.
Do I need one of these "Jamma Boards" I keep hearing about? Not sure
what that is.
If I can't locate Hat Trick, anyone got any suggestions of another
good cocktail game for two players? I was thinking of maybe Armor
Attack http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=A&game_id=6925 but
that one has a special gel overlay I might not be able to locate.
Besides, the CRT in this machine I bought is color, why waste a good
color monitor on a Black & White game?
