The Sega G-80
Multigame is a hardware/software
combination that allows all the released Sega
Vector Games (Star Trek, Eliminator, Space Fury,
Tac/Scan, and Zektor) to be played from a single
hardware platform. The
Multigame presents an on-screen menu (pictured at
right) that allows selection of any game as well
as test functions. All games have been re-mapped
to allow play from a Star Trek control panel in
single-player mode. Original versions of each
game are also included.
The Multigame upgrade consists
of a daughtercard that connects to the CPU board
and a replacement PROM (also on the CPU board).
Audio switching is not
automatic at the moment. That will be handled by
a separate audio mux board. Someday we'll
(hopefully) have an all-in-one sound card.
(This means that currently
you'll need three sound cards to hear sound for
all five games. Star Trek and Tac/Scan share the
same sound card; Zektor and Eliminator can use
the same sound card; and Space Fury has its own
sound board.) All games will play without all the
sound cards-- things just won't always sound
right.
