New OS on classic arcade hardware

[ste]

Not a game, it's new, but runs on old arcade hardware:

Alpaca (http://www.cis.rit.edu/~sdlpci/Software/alpaca/) just poped up my my freshmeat.net page. It's an OS for old Pacman/Pengo arcade machines.

He's got some interesting screenshots and stuff too. Kind of amazing for the limitations of the hardware.

Creepy stuff. I love reading about weirdo stuff like this (making hardware do stuff it wasn't really designed for and such...)

That is really, really twisted. And utterly useless. But cool as hell.

very odd indeed.
