Submission Message
Hadn't played this one in a few months, until my stream a few days ago. I fired it up again yesterday off stream, and after some really solid games, I smashed my PB, and managed to keep it going for a new world record. A very nice surprise, especially since I would have been pleased to hit 1.2 million!

Want to give a little shout out to two great players, and previous WR holders on this game - Max Haraske (@Max) and Michael Sao Pedro (@Falcor781). Thank you Max for introducing me to the game on one of your streams, and thank you both for the very kind words of encouragement and congratulations on the score - you guys are fantastic gamers, but even better dudes! Race ya to 2 million! :)

Thanks for reviewing.

Fantastic score Jason, i was just playing this yesterday got like 200k :)

When the "coin" buttons are pressed, 2 addresses are checked (look at the info in the source file), and the only way to handle this is to have the keys mapped twice... stephh Bugs: - fax, fax2: Need lamps hooked up in exidy.c Mr. Do (ID 03555) - targ, spectar: ISide-by-side test. outerworldarcade (ID 01033) WIP: - 0.208: Removed MACHINE_CONFIG macros [Osso]. - 0.207: Removed QUANTUM_TIME and other MCFG macros [Osso]. - 0.204: Removed EXIDY_VENTURE and EXIDY_MTRAP MCFG macros [Osso]. - 0.202: Removed TMS5220 read/write handler trampolines (audio\exidy.cpp) [smf]. - 0.201: Removed PIA6821 MCFG and old DEVCB [Ryan Holtz]. - 0.199: Full encapsulation of audio devices [AJR]. - 0.198: Better split of state classes.

For Pepper II, Hard Hat and FAX to 20 colors. - 0.118u3: Atari Ace added new AM_READ_PORT() macro which lets you define an input port read callback based on a port tag.

Updated the Exidy driver that uses the latter pattern to the new system. - 0.117: Zsolt Vasvari fixed regression in Exidy sounds. - 0.113u4: Zsolt Vasvari added the timing parameters for the Exidy 6502 driver from the schematics, and updated a number of other drivers to use the newer timing routines.

Removed vidhrdw\venture.c. - 0.18: Added pepper2.c driver. - 0.16: Added venture.c driver and vidhrdw\venture.c. ----

Human interpretation:
Time calc: 10:36:17 + (105571 frames ÷ 59.996811Hz @ 100% [29:19.61]) = 11:05:37 vs zip mod 11:05:37 [please allow for timezone differences]
