But that will no doubt be removed in the coming months, so grab it while
you can. :)

The game itself involves you guiding a pirate around various obstacles and
picking up treasure. It's a top-down viewpoint.

Relevant part of the display says:  (c) Nakasawa 1984

There is one empty (EPROM?) socket, the rest are populated with 4 x
2764's and 1 x 2763

There are 2 x AY-3-8910 sound chips, 1 x 8255, 1 x HD46505SP video
chip (40-pin), and an 8085 CPU.

The large metal enclosure in the middle is connected with 2 x 20-way
SILs and even when removed is resin coated. I'd guess this contains the main CPU
and no doubt some sort of protection (I don't really want to pull this apart
as it currently seems to be one of a kind). So I guess that limits the
possibilities of getting the code running under MAME?

The EPROM dumps are named by the name on the labels, an underscore, then the
location on the PCB by column (number) then row (letter).

The two PROMs are both AM27S21DC (ie 256 x 4)
