I don't know what screenshot is attached to this track but it doesn't look like the game. The Ski Run game I played is the only one I could find under that name:

That image looks like its from the APX game 'Downhill', and a French version at that.

Atari VCS/2600 Dukes of Hazzard

There are 2 different versions of this game. The first is a variant of Stunt Cycle, and the 2nd is an original game. Both Stunt Cycle and the DOH variant came out first. Stunt Cycle was programmer Bob Polaro's first VCS game and the variant was done soon after (both in 1980). The original DOH game was done by a different programmer in 1983. All 3 games are unreleased prototypes. The database labels the Stunt Cycle DOH as version "2" and the original game as version "1", which should be reversed.

This is something that @admin staff needs to fix. This tag should notify them....

Hi, some of the ACME events in the game Looney Tunes: Space Race cannot be acurately measured because the racing tracks change randomly every time you enter the event, so two different players will be racing in different tracks even tho' they entered the same event.

I don't know for sure if all of the events have random tracks but I will try one by one to find out. For now I know for sure these four are random and need to be deleted. Thanks!

I'm not sure if I brought this up before, but Pole Position II on Namco Museum for PS2/GameCube/Xbox needs to have the rules adjusted.

It says that the difficulty should be set to '4' but the game does not use numerical values. Only the first Pole Position does, and that is the standard difficulty for the game. Likewise, I feel that the difficulty for Pole Position II should be adjusted to use the standard difficulty setting. I know that at least one of those has a submission for Pole Position II for the expert setting, so I'm thinking a note stating that the rule is effective as of the date of modification.

Personally, I'd suggest closing the end to the currently known MAME so there's no accidental future-suggestion:

0.106-0.217: sbagman - "Super Bagman"
0.218- 0.227: sbagman2 - "Super Bagman (version 3?)"


... and so people know that 0.228+ haven't been checked.

You and Mr Wong are the custodians of the info files, so whatever you say goes. I certainly have no objection. Some of the files I've used in recent INP analyses need similar editing. The relevant subs may or may not have already been accepted.

Credit where it's due: it was my original syntax to leave them open until Terence highlighted the ambiguous nature which occurred during a submission, so I switched to Terence's closed syntax. :)
