"Heavy Machine Gun"

I didn't fix the menu code yet btw, I can still only select game 0, I just found where it stores the list order, so I can swap the game order around and put any game I want at 0 ;-)

This means I can launch the wonders of Donkey Kong and Risker.. I mean at least they did stop using Mario sprites in the latter..

or Gang Nam Run! pastebin.com/1Sa9KqUD is the complete game list (in proper internal order) for the '788 in 1' unit It actually has significantly fewer games than the 218 game unit I have here.

and yes, there is a cock counter.

Since this one runs in slow motion in MAME, I did notice it incorrectly uses an Pig sprite as the first frame of your death animation, checking real unit it does the same This actually shares the same code in ROM as 'Angry Pigs' it just calls the code with a different parameter.

Racing Car uses a different DMA mode. Elevator Action (which is terrible, like everything else) actually has an explicit off-by-1 jump into the middle of a 2 word opcode, the 2nd word is an invalid opcode, so I guess the hardware just ignores it.
