That's one way to look at it. Any other way to look at it is instead of having
50 StarTrek/Space Fury CPU, 20 Tac/Scan/4-player Eliminator CPUs, 20 2-player
Eliminator CPUs, and no Zektor CPUs, I now have 90 CPUs capable of playing ANY
Sega XY game! :-)

Also, believe it or not, some collectors DO appreciate the fact that they have
the ORIGINAL Security Chip and original Zektor software.

Well, let's not drop the value of a Zektor to nothing just yet...the truth is
I`m nearly out of the Eliminator sound boards, so even when this SC-FREE
version comes out, I'll only be able to offer only like 5 for so.
