Krull Free Play and High Score Save Kits
Upgrade an original Gottlieb Krull arcade PCB with free play, permanent high score saving, configurable game settings, and optional Wi-Fi leaderboard support while continuing to use the original arcade hardware.
HighScoreSaves Krull kits are designed specifically for original Gottlieb hardware rather than emulation or replacement game boards. The upgrade installs at the original 8088 processor location and adds modern score-saving and convenience features while preserving authentic Krull gameplay, sound, and timing.
Choose a Standard Kit for local high score saving or a Wi-Fi Enabled Kit for local saving plus online score uploads through the HighScoreSaves leaderboard system.
About Krull Arcade Upgrades
Krull was released by Gottlieb and runs on original arcade PCB hardware using an 8088 processor. HighScoreSaves upgrade kits are designed to work with that original hardware while adding modern convenience and score-saving features.
High Score Saving
The Krull kit adds battery-free high score retention so supported scores remain saved after the cabinet is powered off. Saved data is stored locally on the upgrade rather than relying on the original board to retain scores.
Free Play and Game Settings
Free Play allows Krull to be started without inserting coins while retaining normal coin operation when desired. Supported game options can also be configured through the HighScoreSaves on-screen settings menu.
Standard and Wi-Fi Enabled Kits
Standard kits save scores locally on the arcade hardware. Wi-Fi Enabled kits include the same local score-saving functions and add the ability to upload qualifying scores to the HighScoreSaves online leaderboard system.
Installation on Original Gottlieb Hardware
The upgrade installs at the original 8088 processor location on the Krull PCB. When the processor is already socketed, installation is straightforward and does not require soldering. If the original processor is soldered directly to the board, a compatible socket must be installed before the kit can be fitted.
Original Program ROM Support
The daughterboard supplies the required game code, allowing the original program ROMs to be removed where supported. This reduces dependence on aging original ROM devices while leaving the original Gottlieb PCB in service.
Preserve the Original Krull PCB
HighScoreSaves kits are intended for collectors and arcade owners who want additional features without replacing the original game board with an emulation-based system. The original Gottlieb Krull PCB remains the core hardware running the game.
