really happy to have this one!\u00a0 A very nice forum user knew I was into Korean games and contacted me directly when he picked this up with a bunch of other stuff.\u00a0 Traded it for something on my sale list.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a really good Arkanoid style game with lots of classic and contemporary artwork as backgrounds.\u00a0 It turned out to be an undumped newer revision than the ones in MAME, and as a result of doing some clock measurements and a video the version in MAME will have correct audio soon &#8211; currently plays the wrong sounds at the wrong times at the wrong speed.\u00a0 There&#8217;s probably a battery in that security block, I wonder how long it has left.\u00a0 This is a new security block type too which also scrambles the sound a bit, it&#8217;s smaller than the previous type used on Star Fighter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/060315_brick_zone.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1417\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/060315_brick_zone-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"060315_brick_zone\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Frogger (Videotron) &#8211;
