Upgrade Your Bump 'n Jump Arcade Experience
Restore and enhance your original Bump 'n Jump arcade machine with a professionally designed High Score Save Kit built specifically for authentic Data East arcade hardware.
Original boards can lose scores due to failing batteries, unstable NVRAM, or aging components. This upgrade modernizes score retention while preserving the original gameplay, controls, timing, sound, and high-speed vehicular combat gameplay that made Bump 'n Jump an arcade favorite.
Unlike emulation, multigame systems, or reproduction hardware, this kit keeps your original arcade PCB in service while improving long-term reliability for collectors, operators, and restoration projects.
Why Upgrade Your Original Bump 'n Jump PCB?
A dedicated high score save kit gives your original Bump 'n Jump machine the score retention collectors expect without replacing the game board or changing how the game plays. Scores are stored locally with reliable serial EEPROM, so the cabinet can retain competition history after power is removed.
This is especially useful for restored cabinets, home arcades, route games, and tournament setups where players want a persistent score table while keeping the cabinet operating like an original Coin-Up Data East machine.
