This should be interesting given all the buttons I'll need to config on my Gravis Gamepad...

You know, I personally think Peter Gunn works better than the James Bond theme. Maybe it's the tempo, or maybe it's just what we're all used to.

Anybody knows if there's a way to make the joystick less sensible?
The game is almost impossible to play
I tried with a standard and analog joystick.
I changed the analog sensibility but that does not help.
It's going left and right way too fast, I wonder if it's the same on the actual cabinet?

Is there a version with the James Bond theme?

I don't know if it's my MAME version but the music does not sound right.
I have the song at the beginning but I soon as the car hit something the music stop!
Or maybe I'm missing a sample?

MAME Hooker allows you to see the "weapons board" that is just above the control panel.
It can do other stuff as well.
