DEATH RACE

[eaviii]

I had started work on a Death Race multicab last year. This was meant to play an emulation of the Exidy version, the Carmageddon series, the console version(s), and the Corman movie. I ultimately acquired a nearly working cabinet (all the boards at least) so abandoned the idea of building up a multicab.
Long story short, I started an emulation of the original game essentially from memory and blurry screenshots. This was before I found out about the MAME/Ms Pacman version.

It never got quite finished but, for those interested, here it is:

The controls work for both cars. The sprites are on the whole mine though the car is a borrowed sprite set (Atari2600?). Never finished the sound. Now that I have a semi working version of the original I can see the inaccuracies. It is still pretty fun I think and is 2 player simultaneous. Should map to a MAME cab easily. Posted to BYOAC as well.

Enjoy-

Thanks for posting this here Doc! I remember this was a lot of fun to play while we were waiting for the plane out from last year's CGE!!

Now that I'm back from Europe, we'll have to get together and make that partially working cab fully working!!

Hey

This reminds me I need to be reading some of the other forums here too :)

Excellent games.

Now I was wondering if this was the same case with Cloak and Dagger from the movie. Or was that some home mock up of a real arcade game.
