carpolo: MAME ROM Information.


History:

Car Polo (c) 1977 Exidy.


Car Polo is an 'up-to-four player' full color video game that combines the skills of driving with the intense player interaction of team sports. The object is to score by bumping or pushing the ball with a car into your team's goal. Teamwork revolves around passing and blocking strategy. Play becomes fast and furious, and excitement is enhanced by car motor noises, crash sounds, controlled grass skids and bouncing ball motions.

- 29th June 2002: Zsolt Vasvari added the steering wheel input to Car Polo and improved the emulation of the rest of the hardware.

- 20th June 2002: Zsolt Vasvari added emulation for a 74148 chip which will be needed for proper emulation of Car Polo.

- 18th June 2002: Zsolt Vasvari sent in a work-in-progress driver for Car Polo, which is missing collision detection and steering inputs.
