Yep. Talked about that a while ago. I would still like to see a big ol scan done via Mr. Do's standards.....if possible.

Heh. Well the Midway 18 Wheeler game 8080 cpu controlled non-video game doesn't help matters with roms already dumped, but very good artwork quality is needed for game to be emulated properly just like one of the currently emulated Data East games. :-)
I know Gremlin's Trap Shoot has a better chance compared to WG at this time of being emulated. The way I see it: as long as game doesn't rely on simulating physics properties, it might be possible to emulate/simulate, but that is optimistic thinking.
