Speedway
 




From Pong-Story.com:  Although the pinball systems didn't play true PONG games, Sears also released two system playing PONG variants and car racing games: Speedway and Speedway IV (designed by Atari). The games could be played by one, two or four players, the number of players being set by a switch and the number of extra pads connected to the system. The switch toggled the HUMAN and ROBOT modes. The former was for two or four players (two using the hard-wired controllers, four using the extra two controllers that could be plugged to the unit). The latter was a single-player mode agains the machine. A third system called Speedway was also made by Sears. This was a cheaper version of VIDEO ACTION IV, also known as INDY 500 and sold by Universal Research in 1976. Obviously, one could modify this version of Speedway to play the fourth game. All these systems used a dedicated chip (F4301) made by Universal Research Labs in 1976, and packaged by Omnetics Inc.

Dammit, I was gonna make a joke about overloading in my pants. Too late.

bigdog21 At:11:10 PM

I was kidding; I don't even know what overloaded means. I just overloaded my pantaloons though, I think.

some of the older shows are in 24k. Later on with the wasteland warriors you had 120k or something but I dunno if you put those on the dvds.

Sheep At:9:20 PM

I'm feeling pretty overloaded myself. :P

Ok, I didn't reprocess the audio on the DVD discs, so I dunno what you're talking about. Yea olden audio was crappy, that much is for sure.

bigdog21 At:6:58 PM

The sound quality on the DVDs seem a little overloaded.

It wasn't overloading the connection, the volume was too high for the encoder so it encoded shitty. Turn down the volume so it's not in the red, and then it works fine. You can't overload a digital connection, that doesn't make any sense.
