Hi there /vr/,
This is "Chicago 1929" it's an arcade game that never came out, with one known prototype. The prototype is at Galloping Ghost Arcade in Chicago, Illinois.
The rom is not available online, the owner of the arcade has never made it available despite no legal barriers preventing it due to never being released.
I have played it, it's a really fun game, it's like a demolition derby where you crash into stuff to extend your time. But if you can't travel to Chicago Illinois, you will never play it.
When I played it, about three weeks ago, the seat creaked and shifted, it was in terrible condition the wheel and controls were perfectly fine, but things to get broken and while they repair them it does take time.
They are also working with supplies like CRTs and bespoke arcade components that aren't replenishable and will one day fail completely.
Is there any possible way we can get the momentum of the stop killing games initiative to come down on hoarders who sit on prototypes/lost media/etc?
Could we possibly use the stop killing games intiative to put pressure/incentive on arcade companies to continues to sell repair materials for their old machine or screen manufacturers to somehow replicate or replace the cart with something similar in order to support arcades continuing to exist
