thanks for pointing this out!!
never released that was such a thing. i know about the nes sequel, that's it.
how weird! hope it'll become available to play on mame.

So the news is the prototype has been found in Japan and it has now been dumped.
It is coming to MAME.
I am hoping seeing the copyright is 1987 that other Irem boards can be converted to it! (hopefully nothing rare - fingers crossed Major Title
)

Exactly what I was thinking, wonder what hardware it's on, if it could be run on another original pcb, it would be awesome too have that running in the original cab as well, not that I'm any good at the damn game

there seems to be conflicting reports about, eg. take a look at this thread:
http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=339374
damn shame if a game like that could just vanish forever but there u go
I hope this is added to mame, this sort of stuff is gold dust, as opposed to adding 40 new fruit machines or something....
Mame was pretty well established when I got back into the hobby, must have been amazing for early adopters, all of a sudden you can play galaga at home for free etc! And each revision bringing a classic

Thats awesome
We literally did that before it was mame though, 1st arcade emu we ran was just dos and there were probably about 40 games, just wanted to see more and slowly they were being added, then the different emu's to play other stuff like Raine, System16 etc
Was awesome, wish I could find copies of what we had from the start, must remember to ask my mate that downloaded them off bulletin boards before the internet, that's how long ago we were on the C64 emu and then the arcade stuff

Ahh I remember the early days of mame and raine. Just at the beginnings of the internet here I went to a pc shop to use their dial up for £5 an hour or something and was amazed to find you could play the actual arcade versions of bubble bobble and rainbow islands on the pc....Downloaded to a floppy and taken home to play on the pentium. Incredible stuff!
That made me wonder if you could get the old cabinets anywhere...but who in their right mind would want one of those in their house!

Quite sentimental sometimes thinking back to then/them, yes, it might be easier now to just have one (or several versions of...) emulator that will play them all, but it was quite nice to be following the progress of the various different emulators.
Being a big Rygar fan I clearly remember getting Rem! (http://www.zophar.net/arcade/rem-rygar-emu-.html ) and spending a LONG time trawling countless sites and dead links for the necessary additional files <cough>ROMS</cough>.
The first time I got it running was amazing, I actually phoned my old school mate who used to play it too, said "listen to this..", held the phone up to the PC speaker and credited it up - he went nuts !
Glad to see some of the pages still around!
I actually got fired from a job (general office job) late nineties because I couldn't resist downloading mame roms every chance I got (didn't have internet at home). they kept saying "stop doing that!" and I'd say "ok". then as soon as they turned their back I did it again
actually it probably didn't help that I would steal floppy disks from the stationery cupboard to put the roms on.
anyway it was good to get fired as I then had lots of free time to play my new acquired mame games

-I should get someone at our French company to translate the dialogue...
-I notice the chaps health never runs out once 0, so I guess some kind of cheat mode?
Mame...lol, when I fist used it, I had to compile it under Solaris (Unix) when it had very few games in it. First one I tried...1942

from the video it does look like a 3 layered board. haven't had the chance to compare the middle board with the video... lucky i have a spare boardset...
