Bradley Trainer Support in MAME 0.62
TheAlchemist writes "The Bradley Trainer was a modification to Atari's Battlezone arcade game created for the US Army to help train personel in the use of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. Supposedly only two of these machines were built, and of the two only one of them is known to exist today. The latest version of the arcade enumator MAME (0.62) has support for the Bradley Trainer, which hasn't been emulated until now. Pictures and more information of the Atari Bradley Trainer be found on this site, and screenshots of it running in MAME can be found here."
Now I need to worry about impressionable school kids in trench coats carrying tanks as well?
Better start carrying a few extra lives with me.
it's still illegal to play the rom unless you own the original, which, especially in this case, is highly doubtful.
The roar of the tank and the roar of the vid card will cancel each other out.
I didn't realize tanks had score and high score displays in them! Schweet. :)
The US Air Force is using a modified version of Choplifter originally from the Apple II to train its personnel for the Commanche Helicopter.
Maybe they meant "enumerator". I always wanted to enumerate an arcade. (Only every time I went in an arcade, I just kept "enumerating" my losses in quarters...)
Honey, I shrunk the Cygwin
According to news media logic.
If Doom/Quake = Kids shooting up school
Then Bradley Trainer = Kids stealing tank and demolishing school.

This wasn't training for tank-to-tank battle...
This was for knocking those elusive spaceships out of the sky...bastards won't stand still!

"By clicking on this link you stipulate that you own one of the original machines".
Don't be silly. I don't have the simulator. I've got the damned tank in my backyard. It's just that the neighbors got upset last time I blew up their Buick.
All I gotta say is: Tanks a lot to all the MAME developers for all the hard work!
*ducks* *runs*
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
I thought the lampoon was this movie.
This sig left unintentionally blank.
Laugh now. Then wait until some ambulance-chaser files suit against the US government for a school shooting caused by the America's Army video game. :-(
May we never see th
I want MAME to get to work on emulating the degenatron! "Swing from green dot to green dot with your red square monkey!"
That's what I want MAME to support.
I really hate signatures, but go to my website.
You could get one hell of a hooker for $1400
Plus, it was originally designed as a fast troop transport and ended up a slower smaller tank after decades of bureaucracy and *billions* of dollars--a huge waste of resources at the taxpayers' expense.
... Welcome to my world!!!
This sounds so familiar... Replace the words:
- "fast troop transport" with "fast focused application",
- "bureaucracy" with "marketing dept",
- "billions" with "hundreds of thousands", and finally
- "taxpayers" with "shareholders" and
