I remember that thread on Gridle's old MAME.net web site. I don't remember exact year when that happened, but I figure you have that episode memorized in what year it took place since it was one of those of the 'ones that got away'. ;-)

I was viewing that as a minor 'bump' in the road and the game would eventually be found, but I didn't expect it to be another 10 plus years going by before that game was eventually found and supported.
