Will be interesting to see if it's the same tech, I'm expecting the rom to be 2MB or 4MB in this case as the game seems to have a large static course image at the start of each course, and those take up a fair bit of space.
Peter pointed out that there's a Radica 'Play TV Monster Truck' game that has a controller that looks like an RC truck too, that looks very similar to these. There's also a few compilations of Radica adverts on YouTube
Also interestingly Huntin'2 has a XaviX logo on the box, but Huntin'3 doesn't, I would have thought XaviX was the more advanced technology (the 6502 is more advanced) so either at some point they decided to ditch XaviX for the cheaper option we've been looking at again, or they moved onto a 3rd tech. XaviX is something I need to look at in the future as there are actually a lot of really interesting things using it.
That CubeWorld thing in the video looks curious, I'm not sure how we'd emulate it, you're literally meant to plug dozens of them together, with them knowing which side you've connected them in order to do animations that span across multiple screens. Also possible each one has different code (or if we're lucky the different behaviours will be a jumper pad inside or something) Either way that will be a real test of MAME as you'd probably have to have a base system that was one of them, and also allow that system to be a pluggable device, with each one adding a slot for all 4 sides of the cube (8 slots on the big ones?) that could be plugged into any given side of another cube (so you'd need source AND destination 'slots') and add a new screen / layout to the system each time. MAME would need some architectural improvements to handle that for sure! Looks like a fascinating idea tho, with units running different kind of games that respond differently depending on the other cubes you connect.
btw, did you get back to Klaus / Team Europe? He was telling me he had offered you some cash to buy one or two Radica products over in the US because otherwise the postage makes no sense (as they'd be posted to Europe only to be posted back, at a greater cost than the item)
