Ha! Don't be afraid. They're delightfully simple really. The vast majority of games just take +5V and +12V power, control connections up/down/left/right/fire/coin/start, and RGB video out. The wiring is usually just a rearrangement of the same signals on a different connector.
Getting the original boards working properly can be a proper challenge, though.
