0.60 [David Haywood]


WIP:

- 0.136u4: Fabio Priuli added driver_data struct and save states to News.

- 0.131u1: Angelo Salese merged memory maps in News.

- 0.113: Ruben added DIP locations to News.

- 0.104u8: Ryan Ahn added clone News (set 2). Changed parent description to 'News (set 1)'.

- 0.60: David Haywood added News (Poby / Virus 1993). Note: The gfx data cointains pictures for both women and girls, however only the women seem to be used. Different ROM set, probably (there's a table at 0x253 containing the numbers of the pictures to use).

- 20th April 2002: Nicola Salmoria fixed the background graphics in News.

- 18th April 2002: David Haywood wrote a driver for News, complete with sound. Stephane Humbert updated the News and IQ Block drivers with correct inputs and dipswitch settings.

History


Arcade Video game published 26 years ago:

News (c) copyright 1993 Poby/Virus.

Despite the game to be named 'News', it has nothing to deal with any type of news. The game is a clone/rip-off of "Puyo Puyo". The only thing that isn't Puyo Puyo is the fact that a woman is in the background. Once you get points, speech will input words.
