Tech: Star Wars on a test bench...

   OK. So here is the situation. I have a Star Wars boardset that I
pulled from a playing-blind game many moons ago. I want to test it out
to see if it will play blind (no monitor or scope). All I have is the
"cage" with the boards in it (they are all there).

   What is the best way to start making connections to it? (Of course,
if it can be tested this way.)

   I read somewhere that someone tried testing a Dig-Dug (or similar
Atari game) by just connecting power to the test points on the board,
but ended up damaging it. So is that considered unsafe? Would I be
better off building a connector for it?

   Peace!
