     Days since I've encountered a Zilog: 0. Thats pretty much all the brains, one thing you'll notice is everything on this is just a digital signal, there are no potentiometers.

     On the right is the actuator for the joystick.
     Good enough for 8-way fighting games :3c

     Who's up for some Alpha 3.

     The wheel and joystick snap off easily (kid energy friendly), and 300 screws later...

     We're in! 🐈

     thats... a lot of ri-bone!

     ok so there's like 4 sections to this thing. the main board and keypad, the steering, the joystick, and something above the coin slot (a mystery?)

     The year is 1996, you have a computer with ears. But you gotta share it with the kids too. Educational Multimedia titles are in full swing for Windows 95

     Fisher-Price has you covered.
