Bradley Trainer Support in MAME 0.62

Posted by Hemos on from the train-on-the-big-boys dept.

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."

    This is all well and good, but I'm not all that interested in playing it. On the other hand, I'd give my left nut to play the unreleased Marble Madness II on MAME.

      Just thought I would gloat... I played the original arcade cabinet of Marble Madness II a few months ago. There was an arcade and pinball machine convention (i can't recall the real name of it) here in SJ. Trust me, you didn't miss much. Joystick, no trackball. Where's the fun? Lots of weird, old, random games, though. Ones I wish I could have found back then. Oh, and you probably could've purchased it, too (maybe $1000 or so, most of the lesser known were cheap...i was so close to buying a Doctor Who Pinball for $1400)

  2. New battle zone for old fans by dubbayu_d_40 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If you were a fan, check out pandemic's battle zone II: http://www.pandemicstudios.com/games/bz2/index.htm It's like starcraft from inside a tank, only better. And does anyone know of a pc port of the Pointblank that used to ship with SGI's?
