Draw out the circuit around that bit of the board, and see where it goes. My first guess would be another one the same as C14. I bet it's not hugely critical. Gordon

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. Cheers, Chuck
