A game machine, particularly an arcade game machine, has a modular construction including provision for electrically detaching the player control(s) unit from the processing control device contained within the main body of the machine to allow replacement or exchange of the player controls, eg for different types of game, (Fig 5, not shown) and wherein the processing control device accommodates replaceable game software memories to allow a service engineer to readily exchange both the game and the operational controls. The processing control device may be contained in a casing 45 such that the display controller, a game memory and a central control unit are each configured as circuit modules in cartridge form with connectors 39a,, b, c in recesses 41a, b, c establishing electrical contact with similar connectors in cartridges 64a, b, c (Fig 3, not shown); lateral finger recesses 47a, b, c assist in easy removal of the cartridges. |
