Upgrade Your Exidy 440 Arcade Experience
Restore and enhance your original Exidy 440 arcade machine with a professionally designed multigame Free Play and High Score Save Kit built specifically for authentic Exidy hardware.
Original boards often lose scores, rely on aging components, or suffer from unstable resets. This upgrade modernizes your PCB while preserving the original gameplay, controls, timing, sound, and cabinet behavior collectors and enthusiasts expect.
Unlike emulation or multicade systems, this kit preserves authentic arcade hardware behavior while adding modern conveniences like score saving, Free Play, attract sounds, diagnostics, and optional online leaderboard support.
Why Upgrade Your Original Exidy 440 PCB?
The Exidy 440 platform powers several classic light-gun and target-shooting arcade games, but original boards can become harder to maintain as ROMs, sockets, connectors, and supporting components age. This kit keeps the original Exidy 440 PCB in service while adding one consolidated multigame system with saved scores, Free Play, menu control, diagnostics, and optional Wi-Fi support.
It is a strong option for collectors, operators, and restoration projects that want access to the supported Exidy 440 titles without replacing the original hardware with a generic emulator, multicade board, or unrelated conversion platform.

Exidy 440 Multigame is the boss
This is my 3rd multikit I have used in the Exidy shooters and it is my favorite. Install is very easy and the PCBs that come in the kit are clearly marked, if you paid enough attention, you could put this thing on without instructions, they are that good. The menus are more in depth and there are great options to tailor everyting to your liking. Sound options are excellent. I recommend having 2 speakers in your cabinet and using the "HSS Stereo" setting.
I was really surprised that more people were not talking about this kit being available. Other Exidy multi kits in the past have been a bit of a big deal in the collecting community. These cabinets are not that common, and it would be near impossible to find one for every game. If you have one of these cabinets and you haven't played all the wild and wacky Exidy shooters, you owe it to yourself to buy this!

Great kit
Saves all the scores, even when turned off and back on next time we play. No more coins are needed. Fast shipping

Such a cool kit!
Some of the games on this kit weren't seen in the wild all that much. I grew up in Exidy's backyard so I got to see all of them fairly frequently. That said, it's so cool to be able to switch from Crossbow to Chiller or any of the other games on this kit.
Bravo!
