Kram DescriptionYou control KRAM and build walls to prevent the bad guys from getting you. Pick up coins to get points. Use a button to destroy the walls you built.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationThe game comes in a generic Taito cabinet with red on black coloring.ConversionThe game uses the same boardset as Qix but has the addition of a coin processor board to prevent ROM swaps. A ROM hack exists to make the game run without the coin processor board, so there is a possibility that a conversion could be a straight ROM swap. Other games that run on nearly identical hardware are Zoo Keeper, The Electric Yo-Yo and Space Dungeon.VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYScarce - There are 3 known instances of Kram owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 3 of them are original dedicated machines Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. There is one VAPS member looking for a Kram circuit board set. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. TriviaSupposedly the only Taito game to use a red cabinet.FixesIf the original NiCad battery is still on the PCB, remove it and replace it with a 3.6v rechargable, mounted away the board. The 4116 video RAM ICs often fail and since they are becoming hard to find, they can be replaced with modified 4164's.eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Kram Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Taito.
