So a new mame release came out, as it often does. the big hubbub surrounding this release was that World Rally is finally playable. nothing too crazy, its another top down racer very much in the same vein as neo-driftout.
so why does this warrant a blog?
the fine folks over at Galeco
want you to play their game. so much so, they're actually
hosting and giving away the rom.
this is news to me. i've never heard of an arcade developer supporting MAME, let alone providing the actual ROM to the scene. insanity i tells ya.
kinda like hulu is slowly legitimizing streaming video, i'd love to see more developers support projects like MAME. if video games are ever to be considered art, we should all be vocal in preserving its history, and educating new gamers on the past.
kudos Galeco.
