Because this game was never sold no one on earth, except Sega, can claim to own a legal copy. Therefor this game cannot be played by anyone without both committing piracy and violating MAME's terms of use. Please lock thread.

to whom it may concern,

i saw that Hammer Away was added to MAME v156 that was reelased a few days ago.

Xyga · Post by **Xyga** » Mon Dec 08, 2014 2:47 pm

It's been around and playable from a number of svn releases before 0.156

Protip to finding a 'rom': check the available games list in Mame, you will notice the rom name is also diplayed.
Then just write a '.zip' at the end of the name when you google it.

Anyway it's just a matter of days before various download places update their hosted romsets.

Quite a few already have. That being said, it's a rather mediocre game, imo. The different buttons for ground and air shots is more tedious than anything.

I was excited to try it after seeing the screenshots and reading the info, then I played it...

Yeah, not surprising it did not ship, really.

Assign both to one button. Problem solved!

I'll try that out, though.

Also, was I the only one who saw the stage opening cinematic and went "great, my MAME revision is broken?"

So, uh... somehow Galloping Ghost Arcade got a copy of this:

There've already been a ton of conversions made, doesn't surprise me at all.

Our pleasure

By the way, did you lost any life in the "airport track" near the end and experienced that kind of bug i mentioned before?

I'm very sorry..I feel terrible - I totally forgot about this.

So, here we go again

I got to the last level and made a savestate and tried it a few times in a few different places, and it appears that the bug doesn't happen here. If I die, it starts out slow, but it slowly goes back to fast speed, and the plane goes off (up) the screen, then my ship speeds up and passes the plane - which stays about mid-screen for a bit, then the game continues as normal.

bye for now & best regards,
