EMPIRE CITY : 1931 layout for M.A.M.E (Seibu Kaihatsu 1986)

Again a new layout for your very large TV today.
This game is forgotten in the videogame's history however it's a must-play and it should be known. The 1930's context and the graphic part is greatly immersive.

The gameplay is innovative and no other games looks like this one. The concept is unique.
It's coming from the same guys who made « Raiden » 4 years later, talented ones.

So, let's talk about it...

^{Installation instructions for newbies :}
- Ensure you're using mame layout version 2. Verify it by editing another « default.lay » from the zip file of one of your working layout to be sure.
- Replace (or add) the « empcity.zip » file in your « /Mame/artwork/ » folder.
- Start M.A.M.E then launch the game
- Press the « Tab » key and go to « video » section
- Chose « NOIR Homeplaying FullHD » configuration and ensure « bezel » is enabled for old Mame versions. (chose the "WR" version for displaying the world record)
- Exit the M.A.M.E configuration menu
- Enjoy !

^{Notes :}
This Layout is designed for homeplaying on very large screens but should fit perfectly on modern TV, HD and UHD (4K).
You can chose between 2 Layouts, one with the world record and one without it.
I tested the layouts on M.A.M.E 0.218.

Mod it and convert it as you like ! I hope you'll enjoy it.
Let's shoot some mobsters !
