Since users of this site have been very toxic towards me recently, I would prefer for my stream to be removed from the active streamers list. Thank you

Can still click on the link in his sig.

Removed it.

the current theory about this game is that it was shadow developed by Hara Industries, the makers of Jack the Giantkiller, and they may have also been responsible for Joinem and Uncle Poo (!!!). You be the judge...

Interesting, I hadn't heard the theory about Hara Industries. Anybody that had anything to do with Uncle Poo is alright with me, though. It was a lot of fun for a game that didn't apparently make production.

To be honest, Vampire doesn't look like a great game, but an interesting concept and from a flyer and magazine article from the 80's it has been one of my most desired finds for quite a while. I guess Bouncer will always be the real Holy Grail.

Classic Arcade Game Discussion / Vampire (1983) added to MAME

A PCB from 1983 that some of us have been hoping to surface for quite a while recently did and has been added to MAME 0.264.

Info on the game here: http://www.slither-gdi.net/vampire.htm

I've got it working but can't play it much as I haven't been able to get my gamepad to work with the most recent MAME versions yet. I'll probably offer a bounty for some quality gameplay on it in the near future in case anybody wants to start practicing.

ROMset available at archive.org: (DMCA exempt, so it shouldn't be a problem to link it)

https://archive.org/download/mame-merged/mame-merged/vampire.zip

WolfMAME 0.264 available here:

https://github.com/mahlemiut/wolfmame/releases/tag/wolf264

If anybody is in contact with former TG Head Referee Robert Mruczek, you might let him know about it. He is the only person I have ever been aware of reporting to have played it on location back in the 80's.

General Donkey Kong Discussion / Re: I came up with a Donkey Kong hack idea

Ethan/f_symmbols suggested exactly this a few years ago and it's been percolating in my head as a possible thing I could do ever since then.

It would certainly be neat, interesting and useful for such a thing to exist.

Technically speaking, it would be more complicated than a simple graphics swap because the sizes/shapes of some of the hitbox ranges wouldn't necessarily be constant or fit inside the tiles of the character/sprite data - so it would require some... calculated reprogramming but it would certainly be something that is possible to do.

Why not have a hack that removes the graphics of Mario and his enemies and put a black box where the hit box exactly is?
So, instead of jumping over barrels and Firefoxes, you jump over hit boxes?

In fact, you can have black box hit boxes for all video games. It doesn't need to stop at Donkey Kong
