Untitled Fighter 'BB' (Arcade)
Fighters
Yes, the palette looks funny since the character isn't finished and that's how it appears in game. I'm sorry.
Super Breakout (Arcade)
Everything
Managed to have a few minutes ripping this classic. I think apart from the ball, the rest of the game is made of tiles due to the limitations of the hardware (in fact the tiles show up in black and white and uses some trick to display colour).
Unless I'm mistaken, it currently is one of the oldest games on the site along with Space Invaders. Now what's older than these two? Well out of well known games, there's Pong and the original Breakout but they do not use ROMs or processors (it was done by discrete logic) and besides Super Breakout is a microprocessor/ROM remake of Breakout. Computer Space is even older than them but still the same. Right from what I read Gran Trak 10 was the first game to use ROMs but they still used discrete logic so that can't be emulated. So that means that Midway's Gun Fight (1975) is the first ever game that can be ripped or for a more famous game Sprint 2 (1976, Atari) that itself is a remake of Gran Trak 10 since both games used ROMs and microprocessors. I thought Sea Wolf II was the first but was mistaken. Whether I'll do either depends.
