Multi game wishlist

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

Wasn't Clay working on a TRON/Satan's Hollow multi-game a
few years back. It would be easy enough to add Journey
into that Multi-Game, but it obviously wouldn't have the
cassette player or sound from it.

I did a quick and dirty design and layout, but never fabbed it.

Even modified the satan's hollow roms to work on tron, so it'd just need a simple
mechanism for switching.

Anything I can do to help make this a reality and any
chance Journey could be included?

Im honestly suprised no one has taken then 8-track player and copied it
off onto a WAV or mp3 file and worked it into a multigame, or mame.

8bit CPU... mp3 decoding...
Hmmm... nope.

Nobody's going to want to pay an extra $50 to hear journey.
($50 based on the cost of the 'minty mp3')

Did anyone do that with the Two Tigers audio track yet? I still have a
boatload of the Micronas MP3 decoder chips leftover from the first Rio300...
;-)

(Actually, probably easier just to buy a generic MP3 player for ~$30 and
hack a microcontroller on it to "push" the buttons...)

Figure out a way to bend space/time so there's more than 24 hours in a day?
:-P

I'll look at it again later this week and see what state the PCBs and design
files were in. I did the hardware design a *long* time ago, so I don't
remember if I had it pretty well cleaned up or not. I think the software
was all done though other than a menu system, but there's only two games to
deal with so that's not too bad...

Journey would be a no-go though. MCR3 video hardware on that one.

Because I still enjoy the game.
