graphic?
I'm going to agree with the other posters in saying that it almost
certainly was a disc ceramic capacitor, but I'm going to stop there.
When and why was the cap removed? Was it a factory "tweak"? What
does the other side of the PCB look like that shows the foil side and
how the cap was connected? If this was a simple decoupling cap, the
game would most likely work just fine without it, so if that's your
suspicion, I'd leave it alone until the last.
