Upgrade Your Galaxian Arcade Experience
Restore and enhance your original Galaxian arcade machine with a professionally designed Free Play and High Score Save Kit built specifically for authentic Midway/Galaxian arcade hardware.
Original boards can lose high scores, rely on aging components, or need additional flexibility for home arcade and collector use. This upgrade modernizes the player and operator experience while preserving the original gameplay, controls, timing, sound, and arcade feel.
The kit adds practical features for collectors, operators, restorers, and high-score players without converting the cabinet to a reproduction board or emulation-based system.
Available Kit Options
Choose a Standard Save Kit for local score saving or a Wi-Fi Enabled Kit for local score saving plus supported online leaderboard submission.
A compatible Z80 processor and 40-pin socket may also be selected when needed. The processor location must have a compatible socket before the daughterboard can be installed.
