The newly released ArcadeSD board supports a number of Universal games including Mr. Do! (of course), Cosmic Avenger, and an obscure title I'd never heard of before called Snap Jack.

After a few dozen games I have to say that the game is quite addicting. Does anyone have a dedicated version of this game? The B&W photo here on KLOV looks interesting to say the least.

Does no one play this game? It took me about a dozen games to get over the 10,000 needed to get on the high score board. I'm up to about 18,000. The game is pretty tough overall, especially after the 1st "level"...

As usual for Universal, pretty decent artwork for the bezel. It's ashame there wasn't any side art like some of the other Universal cabs:

It's a truly bizarre title... mainly a cross between Pac-Man and Scramble, with elements of Jump Bug (the ramps), and other Universal titles like Mr.Do and Ladybug, where you can spell "EXTRA" to gain an additional life.

Kyle :cool:
 
I remember playing this at my local arcade way back when. I too really liked the game, though I never got very good at it.

I love the marquee -- great graphics. Took me awhile to find one (the marquee that is), but I eventually did and it now hangs on the wall with the others in my collection...
