• Well, what can I say, I got interesting in this a while back and did a kinda skeleton layout for it in a couple of hours but then shelved it due to having to play Gradius or something. Nothing more came of it (babies and stuff getting in the way etc...) until recently, when I got a few hints and shoves in the appropriate direction, so I thought, "well, why not" and here it is, the all new super dooper Midway (and Bally/Sente/Williams) section!
  
• Midway are in my opinion pretty important industry wise, being the second largest (after Atari) Western Arcade game manufacturer, and they have also had some classic and incredibly popular games in their lineup, not to mention a pretty unique stab at hardware compared to everyone else.
  
• Midway have handily always more or less stuck to systems with very few custom pieces of hardware which makes cataloging them fairly straightforward... but then again, after Konami anything's relatively easy ;)
  
• It's also a fairly nice section to do because its "finishable", as in Midway are no longer producing arcade games, so theres not the constant game of catchup I have to play with everyone else.
  
  Midway (and Bally/Sente/Williams) Bits!
  
• Huge thank go to Aaron Giles for providing me with a lot of help with the new section, its made it fairly enjoyable :)
  
• Thanks once again to MAME source and everyone who contributed to the Midway drivers for making it so easy to sort everything out.
  
• In case you wondered, I'm calling it the Midway section as opposed to anything else as Midway were Bally's videogame division, and they bought Williams, so they own them as well, Sente was a brief liaison, so its easier and fits in all the the menu's nicely as well :)
  
• O, and also, I'm not even attempting to try and document Bally Pinball machines, theres loads of good sites if pinball is your thing ;)
  
  Sega Bits

• Moved Guilty Gear XX from Naomi 2 GD-Rom to Naomi GD-Rom, my fault, I saw one running in a Naomi 2 system and assumed it was on that, I know the Naomi 2 is backwards compatible, but I didnt think anyone would use one for a Naomi 1 game yet :)

• No, this isn't an optical Illusion, I really am updating the site twice in almost one week, freaky eh?
  
• This update is to mainly direct feedback on the update I just did and a round up what happened at the AOU show that was on the other day, some nice surprises and lots of new ideas being thrown about, the biggest announcement of the show probably being Sega admitting that they are developing Naomi 3 hardware, designed to sit at the top of the hardware pile once again, it is by all accounts considerably more powerful that the Chihiro (Xbox based) and Triforce (Gamecube based). No more details as of yet, but you can be sure that when I find out I'll have some sort of update :)
  
• The AOU show was also dominated by network and card games, be it arcade machine to arcade machine or arcade machine to Gameboy Advance, it looks like this is the way arcades are firmly heading, at least in Japan anyway...
  
  Sega Bits
  
• Added Naomi 3 hardware page. Yup, you read right, no specs or any information at all yet, not even a sniff, but it HAS been confirmed.
  
• Added system pictures and specs of the Chihiro Hardware, and I have to say, its a very sleek looking piece of hardware :)
  
• Changed the name of System X hardware to Atomiswave, added games Dolphin Blue, Maximum Speed, Premium Eleven, Sports Shooting USA and also found out its Dreamcast based, not PSX2 based. This makes much more sense for a joint venture between Sega and Sammy to produce an arcade platform, the whole PSX2 thing sounded a bit too Namco from the start ;)
  
• Moved Initial D : Arcade Stage 2 to Naomi 2 GD-Rom hardware and added a screenshot.
  
• Added screenshot's (finally) to Dynamite Cop on Model 2C CRX Hardware thanks to Wolfgang.
  
• Added a screenshot to Sukeban Jansi Ryuko thanks to Adol.
  
  Atari Bits
  All these are thanks to Stefan Jokisch and the additions he made recently in MAME for the older Atari games.
  
• Moved Poolshark, Smokey Joe, Monte Carlo to the 6800 Based Hardware page.
  
• Moved Sky Raider, Super Breakout to 6502 Black and White Based Hardware as they used coloured overlays.
  
• Moved Crowns Golf, Dunk Shot, Knuckle Bash and TX-1 from Unique hardware to Licensed hardware.

  Namco Bits
  
• Added Dragon Chronicles to the System 246 hardware page.
  
• Added Space War : Chocolate Vader Contactee to the System 10 page. Silly arcade trivia, this is the first game namco has ever made with the word "Space" in the title, which considering the other companies named nearly every other game "Space Something" in the 70's and 80's is pretty amazing :)
  
• Added Kuru Kuru Fruit to the System 10 page.
  
• Added Air Combat Deluxe Cabinet picture to the System 21 page, thanks to Tomas.
  
• Added the old name 'Polygonizer' to the System 21 page, thanks to Kevin.

  Off Topic Stuff
  
• I played the Unreal Tournament 2003 and No One Lives forever 2 PC demos the other day, and well, its typical, they're like buses, you wait for ages for a good first person shooter to turn up, then 2 turn up at the same time! Both highly recommended :)
  
• Becky bought me a Gamecube the other day, so I've been playing Super Monkey Ball loads, its great but frustrating to the point of wanting to throw your controller through the screen, and Rogue Leader r0x :)
  
  Cheers,
  
  Toby... (Free time, sheesh, who'd a thunk?...)
  

• EEK! Blimey, my first real update in nearly 3 months and I do it on Friday the 13th, I'm just waiting for the server to crash and catch fire now or something :)
  
• I've added an Appendix page to the site, it covers a lot of the terms used in arcade, hardware and emulation circles. There's a fair amount relating to 3D systems as these tend to be the ones that have the most outrageous terms and are most confusing, but there are also explanations for all of the older and common phrases as well.
  If you can think of anything I've forgotten in it or have a better explanation for something then let me know, but remember to try and keep it simple as the whole idea of the page is that people will actually understand what these terms actually mean!
  
• I've also tried to update the Thanks section as well, full of people who have made this site possible and have helped along the way, so don't forget to let me know if I've forgotten you!
  
• This is an almost total clearout of what I had lying about on my hard-drive waiting to be put up, I have left some stuff out though due to wanting to actually upload it this decade ;)
  
  Sega Bits
  
• Added System X Hardware page. This is a new joint venture between Sammy (Guilty Gear X etc..) and Sega, no information as of yet, as not much is known yet apart from that it's in pre-production and it's a Sony Playstation 2 based hardware platform.
  
• Added a Satellite Terminal Hardware page, moved Derby Owners Club from unknown hardware to it, moved World Club Champion Football Series A 2001-2002 from future games to it and moved Derby Owners Club from Naomi to it.

• Added a thank-you note in the Apollo 13 prototype and Goldeneye Prototype pinball sections to Federico Croci from www.tilt.it, a nice Pinball based site.
  In future if anyone sends in information in to me that you have found on someone else's site, can you please tell me where you got it from so I can give everyone involved credit, as otherwise there can be "misunderstandings" ;)

• It's been ages since the last proper site update, I've been pretty busy with real life recently and I've only been working on the site in fits and spurts for the past couple of months or so, and every time I thought I was about finished I found something else to add, so its taken a while...
  
• Spent a fair bit of time on my favourite part of the site, the Sega section, especially with the older stuff as I seem to have neglected it recently. It's now much more up to scratch and filling out nicely. I should also have some neat new stuff in the future for the Sega section as well, so stay tuned!

• Updated the Link Page, couple of nice new additions to the museum section and updated some expired links.
  
• I can't say thank you enough for all the positive emails I get back from people, I always enjoy reading them and if I don't get back to you I'm truly sorry, It's not that I'm ungrateful, as I can assure you I'm always grateful for any (positive) mails I get, it's just that I don't have the time to answer them all, having a real life/job/wife and stuff, but I do try when I get some free time!
  
• This may or may not be the last update for a small while, not that I'm the most regular updater or anything, but well, this time I'll actually have an excuse rather than the normal "I'm lazy" one ;) more news as and when...
  
  Cheers,
  
  Toby... (Onwards to the undiscovered country...)
  

• Another small update this time, still very busy with "Real Life"?lately, but have come across some great information that I'll be updating the site with in time, lots of cool new stuff and lots more information on various things Sega ;)
  
• Anyway, go ahead and check out Here for the latest goings on in the Sega MAME driver...
  
• As a side note, as a drive to help with the cost of running the server this site sits on (it isn't cheap) and in an effort to try and kill some of the god-awful popups that seem to appear, my web host (who hosts me for free), ZT Net, has set up an online store Here that is at the moment just selling Hanaho Hotrod arcade joysticks ($199, I've got one, and its great ;), but hopefully in the future start to sell other arcade and game related items as well, if you're in the market for a hotrod, you can get it from here and give the site a small boost in the process :)
  
  Cheers,
  
  Toby... (Outrunning all the way...)
  

• Just a small update this time, I've been busy with "Real Life"?lately.
  
• I got fed up with answering all the "whens the Sega driver for mame going to be finished" questions, and have decided, with OG's blessing, to put up a WIP of the current state of the drivers as they stand, a snapshot of the driver in progress if you like...Enjoy the piccys ;).
  
• Its all coming along very well, with some fantastic additions and improvements, but as always happens, you fix one thing and another blows up in your face, its a loooong process, but its looking good so far :)
  
  Cheers,
  
  Toby...(rotating strike fighter am yummy...)
  

• Well, the first big addition of 2002! I wasn't going to add any more sections for some time (if ever) but after speaking to Warlock from Emustatus a month or two ago it was clear that he didn't have the time to continue looking after the Taito Project anymore due to him having just so much work at University. I thought it would have been a real shame for the work he started not to be carried on as Taito are one of the most important pioneers of arcade games, bringing the arcade business a slew of all time classic games.
  
• So with this in mind and after talking to Warlock he agreed that it was a good idea that I take over the Taito project and move it to System 16, so with his blessing I present you with the newest addition to System 16...The Taito Museum!
  
• I've gone through my entire email and pending directory and I've added everything that I have on my computer, if you sent something in and I haven't updated, first check the relevant section as I may have updated it but forgot to mention it on the main page, but if its not there then I either didn't get it or I've lost it somewhere. So if possible send it again, I've had a fair amount to do this update so I may well have left something out. Remember, I'm always happy to receive any stuff that I haven't got!
  
• A huge thanks to Mitaine who has contributed a massive amount of time and effort by going through his old game magazines from when they reviewed arcade games, scanning them, then sending me over 500 megs of scans!. There are loads of great pictures in them and I've filled in a lot of holes all over the place, this is probably the single biggest contribution to the site I've ever had, thanks again!

• This update is obviously only me getting used to Taito, it's by far the biggest single addition I've made, it runs the Sega section a close(ish) second for size and amount of games, and there's lot I still don't know, so any help in the unknown sections or any part is gratefully received.
  
  
• Site Bits and Other Stuff...
  
• There's been lots of site work behind the scenes this update, I've deleted the old "A-Z" lists, as they were superfluous to requirements, reorganized the site a little so its (hopefully) easier to navigate, updated most of the hardware pages and reformatted a lot of things so each section across the manufacturers is the same (or close).
  
• Changed the "Old News" section to split it into years, as the old complete one was getting enormous and taking an age to load.
  
• Change th sit fro .htm t .html whic doesn' d anythin differen, bu wil sto Saraya/Belmon an th othe peopl constantl moanin abou i an askin wha centur I wa livin i ;), happ no?
  
• Fixed an Opera bug which meant that the site showed a large white window round the main page, I did this as it's now my browser of choice and it was bugging me.
  
• Updated the Complete List of games on System 16, which is now formidably large...
  
• I'm know I haven't included everything, and have forgotten to mention something or someone from this update as I've done so much in it. I've been doing work on it on the train/work/home/toilet, on the laptop and on the PC and I've been transferring so much stuff backwards and forwards that I'm bound to have lost track of at least some of what I've done and added, so you'll just have to bear with it or just look through every page or something, and if I didn't give you credit for something you sent in then I'm sorry, there was a lot to do in this update and some things just got lost in the pile, just drop me a line and I'll say thanks in the next update I do ;)
  
• That's it, no more, I need a holiday, somewhere hot, with no computers, but maybe an Arcade...;)
  
  Cheers,
  
  Toby... (Does anyone actually read all this?...)
  

• Just cracked one million visitors! WooHoo! Not bad at all :)
  
• Konami's hardware certainly applies to the quote "A riddle wrapped up in an enigma" and until recently had been the source of much debate. In the early to mid 1990's Konami was desperately searching for a way to leapfrog its competitors. Namco had system 11 and system 22 and Sega had the ST-V system along with its model 2.
  While Namco certainly presented a threat, Konami deemed Sega the more likely rival and in 1995 released it's two new systems to go head to head with Sega. The first is an in-house project that is theorized to be the beginning of the Power PC hardware, but to compete with the less expensive systems such as System 11 and ST-V Konami entered an agreement with Sony to produce PSX based hardware which went through a couple of revisions and then became the GV system. This would eventually become System 573 and be Konami's staple diet for their cheaper arcade game hardware through to the present day - Pcb-A-Holic.
  
• I had planned to do an ATEI feature earlier in the month, but to be honest I was so dissapointed by the show in general that I couldnt sum up the enthusiasm, but I did go an did take some pictures, so look out for all the new stuff on the next update which should follow soon (well, within the month anyway ;)
  
• Now on with the update!
  
  Sega Bits
  
• Added a great marquee picture for Virtual On.
  
• Added some more Naomi hardware pictures.
  
• Added a picture of the Sonic Championship cabinet.
  
• Moved Angel Kids to Z80 Hardware, thanks to Haze for the emulation in MAME ;)
  
• Found out that House of the Dead and Virtua Cop 2 both use a special video board that has a gun i/o port.
  
  Namco Bits
  
• Nothing this update.
  
  Atari Bits
  
• Added a page all about "Tenth Degree", an Atari prototype I (Pcb-A-Holic) own, including pictures and some in game footage.
  
• Added pictures and the marquee to Surf Planet.
  
  Konami Bits
  
• The unknown Bemani Hardware that Sixtoe spoke of in the last update is probably based on a modified System 573 at it's base. This hardware is most likely used on all Konami bemani games and would explain the great ease with witch these titles are released on the playstation.
  
• Added a Power PC hardware page. This is for all of the games that we don't have a specific system for as of yet, but know had a Power PC chip in them. Konami used Power PC hardware as early as 1995, and the first title to use this technology was probably Midnight Run. Examples of other games believed to be Power PC based are: Hang Pilot, Road Rage, Winding Heat, Solar Assault etc.
  
• Added a Hornet System page and deleted the 3DFX based system, added Total Vice, The Simpson's Bowling, and Evil Night.
  
• Added pictures of Powerful Baseball thanks to Smittdog.
  
• Moved Code One Dispatch to Viper Hardware.
  
• Added Battle Tryst to M2 Hardware with pictures.
  
• Tidied up the Unknown Section by renaming and properly translating names, and added some more pictures here and there.
  
  
• Other Stuff (and now a word from our sponsor)
  
• Pcb-A-Holic "Many thanks go out to everyone who helps me achieve the impossible as I dedicate my time and effort to you."
  
• Sixtoe "Meeelion!! r0x j00!! Update plse!!"
  
  Cheers,
  
  Six and Pcb-A-Holic...
  

• Well, who'd have believed it, as of today I have been running the site for a whole year. A fair amount has changed here in that time...The sites gone through 2 complete design changes, expanded a little, gained a staff member and generally gone on in leaps and bounds. I've enjoyed the past year and all the email (well, most of the email, and when my emails working) I get from people helping out and just chatting, I've met a lot of cool people and had a chance to work with some really top chaps, so all in all its been a great experience.
  
• Many thanks go out to everybody who's helped me in the past year, they are mainly covered in the Thanks section, but special thanks go out, in no particular order, to...
  ShinobiZ - For the idea and starting the site.
  R Belmont, Farfetch'd & Olivier Galibert - Moral and Immoral support when needed, thanks guys :)
  Pcb-A-Holic - For his help with information before he came aboard, and for his work since, my right hand man :)
  Becky - My wife, for putting up with it all, much to her general disgust 99% of the time ;)
  
• With that said, on with the update!
  
  Sega Bits
  
• Updated the System 24 page with pictures of Hotrod and Tokoro San no MahMahjan 1 & 2 thanks to Olivier Galibert.
  
  Namco Bits
  
• Updated the System 11 page, mainly thanks to the groovy S11emu :)
  
  Atari Bits
  
• Added Gauntlet Dark Legacy screenshots to 3DFX section.
  
  Konami Bits
  
• Finally got around to a total overhaul of the Bemani section and split it Across 4 pages.
  
• Added *loads* of games which include ParaParaParadise 2nd Mix, ParaParaParadise DX, Drummania 2nd Mix, Drummania 3rd Mix, Drummania 4th Mix, Drummania 5th Mix, Guitar Freaks 2nd Mix, Guitar Freaks 3rd Mix, Guitar Freaks 4th Mix, Guitar Freaks 6th Mix, Dancing Stage: Dreams Come True, Dancing Stage Featuring True Kiss Destination, Pop N Music, Pop N Music 2, Pop N Music 3, Pop N Music 4, Pop N Music 5, Pop N Music 6, Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix +, Dance Dance Revolution 5th Mix, Dance Dance Revolution Link Version, Dance Dance Revolution Solo 2000 and Dance Dance Solo Bass Mix.
  
• Still not a lot known about hardware apart from the fact that some are PSX based, some are CD based and some are DVD based, and nearly all of them use a cartridge to supplement the CD/DVD.
  
• Now up to a stunning 80 bemani games...Konami really churned a lot out in the 4 years they've been doing them, for the slow ones out there that's 20 games a year, pretty fair going ;)
  
• Many thanks to Amy at Channel Beat for some of the new information and pictures, and Station Taito, a groovy arcade in Japan for some of the pictures. :)
  
• Apart from the Bemani frenzy also added 2 more pictures to Konami 80's gallery on System 573 hardware that I had in the directory and forgot to put up, oops...
  
  Other Stuff
  
• Made a new monster htm file with all the games on the whole site in it due to a few requests for it, look out for it on the side bar in the museums section under complete list, its huge, so may take a while to load on slow connections.
  
• I'll be shooting off later this month to this years ATEI arcade trade show in London, so look out for some sort of report later on this month into what went on, its always good fun :)
  
• For some bizarre reason, must have been bored at the time, I decided to count up the games I had on the site, just for my own curiosity, but I thought I'd put them up here for everyone else...
  
  Namco - 261 Games
  Atari - 308 Games
  Konami - 468 Games
  Sega - 592 Games
  
  So, Sega wins by a huge margin! Hurrah! Anyway, this isnt exactly a accurate test, as I`m sure I`m missing loads of games still, but hey, its something to go on about at the end of the update no?
  
  Cheers,
  
  Six... (Hangover? Me? From new years? Nooooooo...)
