That's outstanding and great work there. Good to know that it is possible to get tapes and dongles duplicated properly for this hardware without having to risk messing up original hardware.

The Hallo Gate Ball (croquet game?) looks interesting.

Another of the cassette usage games I hope can still be fully emulated later is Kee Games' Quiz Show.

I haven't seen any tapes for sale. iirc dwidel may have mentioned some Quiz Show tapes were for sale near his place. That was many, many years ago though in days when MAME relied on XOR files for CPS-2 emulation and the FD 1094 emulation was just underway.

I am certain Quiz Show is likely one of the last 20th century era, cpu-controlled games yet to be emulated that I did actually play in arcades a few times (Magic Mountain in Newhall, CA) in mid 1970s iirc. Every other cpu-control game is already emulated and remaining stuff is either non-cpu video games or electro-mechanical/mechanical games.
