Kudos to Haze for getting the 1980s version of Master Boy to be in working shape.

It looks like the Master Boy 2 mystery issue has finally been resolved because there never was any Master Boy 2.....Gaelco just kept reusing the same name with different pcb hardware designs.

This is almost certainly not a sequel for Master Boy, but only a 2.0 revision. It is unlikely that the title screen says "Master Boy 2".

Master Boy 2 (Gaelco, 91)
Why it's not emulated (Manuel Abadia):
No PCB for Master Boy 2 has been found.

Heh. Now someone on undumped Wiki team has to move Master Boy 2 entry elsewhere and then create a Master Boy (1986) entry. As OG would say...."Fun Times".

Gotta get contributors around here to show their street creds with some Casio RZ-1 tracks working in MAME. See what folks can produce.
