Any dumped Long Beach by Olympia. It's a black and white racer from around 1979-1980. No pics yet.

CPU or discrete? If CPU, is it an 8080?

There is no info or image on google.
Rarities are gold.

the only place mentioning this game is the Italian website TILT (http://www.tilt.it/deb/old/olympia.html#longbeach), which writes about it:


Quote:


Corsa automobilistica su pista vista dall'alto, simile a Sprint Atari.
Realizzata in collaborazione con la Seletron.




which roughly translates as: "Car race with top view, similar to Atari sprint. Created in collaboration with Seletron"

Colorful marquee there. Good to know roms from the game have been dumped. I am guessing it is in tribute to the Long Beach, CA Grand Prix event that takes place every spring in downtown Long Beach area.

Update: Emulated, missing discrete sound but is playable thanks to hap's efforts! Can be checked out from current SVN or wait until 0.152.

Good work to both any (rescuing roms from a non-working pcb) and hap's code work to get the game running.

For this year, that's a good record of being able to preserve two obscure, outside of Italy and region, 1970s era games.

If things work out on DICE side, Atari/Kee Games' Crossfire and Ramtek's Clean Sweep might be emulated by end of this year. Great to see more of the 1970s era games being preserved here and there.

Couriersud is back, so on the MAME side we may see more discrete logic games soon too.

That looks pretty cool. Monochrome graphics have their own charm. I like how they need a different sprite for each car rather than just a palette swap.

>Couriersud is back,

I like his recent updates such as this

"Added a fixed frequency monitor emulation to src/emu/video.
This implementation takes an analog composite signal, extracts hsync, vsync and field information in addition to greyscale video. Currently needed for pong."

The update makes .151 release with emulating Pong look like an actual tv set (as description states) compared to prior versions.

The .151 update fixes finally allowed my out-of-date Win XP system and using 32 bit build of MAME, run pong once again. A couple bugs in there still, but great to see pong running on my own computer once again. One of the updates that went into .147u1 build last year meant my own computer could no longer run pong until .151 was released.


>so on the MAME side we may see more discrete logic games soon too.

I am guessing it will either be Pong Doubles or Rebound as next game.

Or even a couple 2-player pong clones (clone of Atari Pong in the pong.c file) could be quickly added there in the meantime. :-)

Allied Leisure Paddle Battle http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=thumbs&db=videodb&id=2449

Paddle Battle schematics are online if needing to verify via schematics. This should be exactly like Atari Pong going from the Game Room magazine interview that Keith Smith did with Allied Leisure's Jack Pearson several years ago.


Williams Paddle Ball http://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=thumbs&db=videodb&id=770

Williams Paddle Ball logic schematics not online yet and I only have the two page stapled service istallation paper for Paddle Ball and that's it. I am pretty sure it will be same as Atari's version.


Nutting's Computer Space Ball might also be the same as Atari Pong, but verifying components via pcb or schematics would be ideal.


Midway's Winner is almost the same, but Winner has game timer limit pcb that enables operator to adjust the game time limit to a fixed amount of time rather than allowing gameplay to conclude at 11 or 15 points. Winner schematics are online. The schematics take account for the time feature (ie: operator's time set adjustments) as well.
