Hi all, I just found this place- I'm a 70's/80's gamer and after growing up watching Ricky Schroeder on "Silver Spoons" in his arcade always wanted a coin op game lol
So I think I will try and find a Simpsons game because my wife is a fan of the Simpsons so I might be able to get away with this title over some others... in my limited research I see that it is considered a 'Jamma' which if I understand correctly is basically just a wire harness that other boards plug into?
I'm wondering if I find that Simpsons game eventually if I can just buy some other 'Jamma" boards and that is all ther is to it? Just mount them securely with a wire extension and plug in whatever other similarly wired 'Jamma' title I want? If the game I like utilizes fewer buttons is it just a matter of some buttons not being used? On the reverse I would imagine that if a game uses more buttons than the cabinet you have the game would boot but not work correctly due to missing buttons? Which would lead me to the last question which is that if all assumptions above are correct then it would stand to reason that the best Jamma type game would be the one with the most buttons... which is ?...
thanks for any that take the time to answer.
