Wow those screenshots look great! I like it with the emulator border anyways, makes it more "authentic" :-)

This is great to see. I hope that Gakken's Jungler gets emulated eventually. In my oppinion, that one was better than the arcade it was based on.

I'll include this and Amidar in the next batch I send to Kevin... Bandai Burgertime and Pengo as well... I'm going through my favorites first. Then I'll get into the more boring 'it's basically just Space Invaders' games...

I am putting these games back together, and I discovered a factory test for doraemon. If pin 35 is grounded (pulled high) at power-up it will go through a display and audio test. There's a pad connected to the pin but it doesn't go anywhere, so it looked highly suspicious. turned out I was right.

Interesting, I'll add it to the driver. =) BTW, assuming you have it, could you upload the Entex Turtles COP400 romdump?

MB Electronic battleship versions: 1977/79: uses 2 9v batteries, a tms1000(?) cpu, no codebook/instant programming, higher pitched sound; game has a RED light bulb *below* the ship in the 'ship' lower backdrop which is clear/untextured, and the text next to the white switches on each side (FIRE, ON/OFF, LOAD/GO) is painted white I got the original version for Christmas in 1977. Out of the box, it didn't work and my step-father had to take it apart and reflow a bunch of the solder joints to get it working. It took far more time to program it for a game than it did to actually play the game afterwards. Not even remotely fun.

Well, the one I have works, and it doesn't take too long (in my opinion) to program it. In fact both players can program their side at the same time simultaneously since the game keeps track of both player 1 and 2's sliders. However I can see it being an issue, the sliders sometimes stick. Also, the game doesn't seem to care in the slightest bit whether you're actually programming 17 spaces in the form of 5 ships, you can in theory leave ship spaces randomly all over the board. The game also doesn't keep track of turns either, it is up to the players to decide how many shots each gets etc.
