Interesting that Exidy Score being mentioned and iirc it was sometime between 2002 - 2005 someone was auctioning on eBay an 'untested' Exidy Score pcb - only, but starting minimum asking price was about $350 to $500 iirc this was at a time that non-cpu emulation / simulation was a thought of "maybe it will happen...." and at the time then the big effort was Sega hardware that used FD1094 or FD1089 was the big deal at the time. Non-cpu stuff was way off to the side.

If you know anything about Exidy's obscure 1997 [1977] arcade SCORE and what it looked like (and I haven't already talked to you), let me know.

This game is so obscure that no screenshots exist on the internet, and apparently no cabinets are in working condition.

This obscure 1977 arcade game may have the first graphical depiction of a playable woman in a video game, but we have no idea because there's been no attempt whatsoever to revive it in emulation/FPGA and the cabinets themselves are rare.



We're talking games like Speed Race (one of Tomohiro Nishikado's first video games for Taito), Clean Sweep (the Ramtek game that inspired Breakout), Breakout itself, Score here, Fonz (first licensed game) or Nurburgring-1 (first first-person driving game).

Kee Games Crossfire was in same shape like Exidy Score......nothing other than a game name mentioned on forums until Adam Bousley and Rich R. did their impressive work in DICE to get Crossfire running.


I'd like to believe the twitter posters [aside from Moogly] are aware of either MAME or DICE by this time, but maybe they aren't aware of current status. Some of the games' proms already dumped and documented in either MAME and and also DICE with some of the proms.

Nothing yet regarding Exidy Score and or Nurburgring-1 (first first-person driving game) at this time, but the others are possible (within reach) since either the roms and proms have been dumped and supported and/or some of the paperwork also now online.

It would be neat if someone could emulate For Play's Rally since that pong clone can either be set to a 2 player game or a player versus machine game.
