I've rediscovered Depthcharge (Atari 1977) and Angler Dangler (Data East deco cassette system) on another type of adventure in MAME.
Note: Data East had some great stuff, and I'm including pinball tables too. Funny I dismissed cassette stuff when I grew up with ZX Spectrum. Its not like we need to wait for the games to load in comparison!

And going back to IREM they also did moon patrol that I played quite a lot but never finished...

On the software side of things, I decided to filter only the arcade games out of mame.xml because, why not?

I think I got a "simple" one liner using sed (under WSL with Bash as shell) working well (should be pretty close at least to show just arcade games) and a shorter version of it that I'm still wroking on becausee it can't filer driver status="imperfect" (games marked as not working) as it is and I don't want those, arcade or not.

But hey, it's nice challenge to occupy the mind but man, am I rusty in regexp's :D

On the hardware side I've found a wheel design online that fits my Spintrak and now I can play Bad Lands like this which is a lot less stressful on my hand and wrist as I can use just one finger.
