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.Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Scarce - There are 3 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 3 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 0 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.Of the 42,694 video games (3,154 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 5 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records. Wanted - There is one VAPS member currently looking for this game. 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 operatos 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.
