MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin - Re: "A Critical Hit!" - WILD GUNMAN '74: The Forgotten First FMV Game

>And now, a late Christmas / early birthday present for gregf, a new video about Wild Gunman
>(1974) on YouTube!

Thanks with this find.

Major applauds for that research effort by the creators of the clip and having to go around and find the various resources to assemble the clip presentation. I'll need to watch it again because the narration involving the Sega name I didn't quite catch a sentence or two of what was being presented. It sounded like Sega built and shipped the cabs to the N. American market instead of Nintendo. If so, at first I would have disagreed, but when thinking about it that Nintendo wasn't an established market name in N. America region, I can see why Sega might have some involvement since they were an established presence then.

If some code project were to be able to do something similar like MAME or DICE and simulate the mechanics of the pcbs, and then external physics such as sensor mechanisms in order to have a particular film clip not displayed while other is displayed maybe doable. Both film projection units were running the different film reels at same time, but depending on sequence only one of the two would be visible while a shutter would be closed in front of the other film reel so it would not be visible.

Shooting Trainer might have better odds of being possible to simulate since there is less complexity involved.

I missed paying attention to this part in the clip where one of the comments mentions movie name that the game can be watched as it was in working state.

I wasn't familiar with the movie "Gas". If I had seen that movie in 1981, I would have fallen out of the movie theater seat in disbelief watching that. I wonder who was able to find references of that and literally have to buy a VHS print of the movie. I wonder if this will be good enough to be a new entry on MASH's movie page. ;-)
