TODO:

* Add sound/samples


NOTE:

- The original ROM images for Car Polo (c) 1977 Exidy have been made available for free, non-commercial use. Authorization from H.R. Kaufmann, president of Xidy.


WIP:

- 0.182: Rewrite 74153 TTL chip. Only output state when the level changes [Dirk Best].

- 0.176: ImJezze fixed copy of texture data to bitmap in BGFX. Changed AVI dimension to a lowest integral multiple of 4 (2 was still to low for most video players, e.g. VLC). Added audio to AVI record in HLSL. HLSL AVI record now uses window dimension instead of snap dimension. This fixed unable to view recorded video in Car Polo made with -video bgfx/-window.

- 0.150: Modernized 74148 TTL. This still needs updating to DEVCB/DEVCB2 [Osso].

- 0.147u2: Miodrag Milanovic changed 7474 TTL to use DEVCB2.

- 0.135u4: Aaron Giles converted 74148 and 74153 TTL implementations to devices.

- 0.129: MooglyGuy added savestate support to Car Polo and the TTL74148 and TTL74153 devices.

- 0.122u8: Zsolt Vasvari removed colortables from Car Polo and a number of other drivers, as part of a larger move to phase out old-style colortables. Changed palettesize to 64 colors.

- 0.61: Zsolt Vasvari added 'Car Polo' (Exidy 1977).

- 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.

History


Arcade Video game published 42 years ago:

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.
