Hi everyone,
Anyone who has been collecting arcade games for a wile like me and has a SEGA G-80 vector game probably has heard of or even might have one of Clay Cowgills Sega G-80 Multigame kits.For those of you that have never heard of this kit it was an attempt to make a kit that could be installed in a Sega vector game that would allow you to play all 5 of the Sega vector games. Star Trek, Space Fury, Eliminator, Tac/Scan and Zektor.

The Kit did work and you could now play all 5 games and switch between them with its on screen menu with a push of the player buttons. It only had one drawback. In order to get speech and sound support for each game you had to turn the game off, open up the back of the game and remove and replace the speech and sound cards for the game you want to play which was a real pain and some of these boards were hard to find. Those of us who had bought the kit had always hoped Clay or someone would make a all in one sound board so we would no longer have to swap the boards but years passed by with no new sound board. Their was one person that did put together instructions to add speech support but I never tried that mod.

I installed Clay's MultiSega kit in my Star Trek Asteroids conversion cabinet back in 2001 or was it 2002?
Well I put the game into storage in the garage waiting for the multi sound board which never happened. Fast forward to 2010 I heard about a new MultiSega MultiSpeech/Sound project by Vector Labs

Well this was great news, a new Sega MultiGame with full speech and sound support. Sounded to good to be true but it's true. I bought one and I am ready to install it into my Star Trek game but this means I will have to uninstall Clay's MultiSega kit so before it's out with the old and in with the new I thought I should take a few pictures and some video showing how Clays kit worked because I did a search and could not find any video so here it is. I hope it's not to boring. As soon as I have the new Vector Labs kit installed I'll make another video.
