List of black and white games?
« on: November 29, 2012, 10:07:25 pm »
Is there a list floating around or a simple way to generate a list of black and white games?

Not sure, but if you have a FE/app that can filter games on year, you could start by looking at games prior to 1980 (ish).

A few I can think of:

Space Invaders
Night Driver
280 Zzzap
Death Race
Sprint 1 / 2
Super Bug
Fire Truck
Triple Hunt
Gun Fight
Boot Hill
Gypsy Juggler
Circus

Vector:

Asteroids
Asteroids Deluxe
Lunar Lander
Starhawk
Warrior
Armor Attack
Tail Gunner
Rip Off
Space War
Red Baron

A lot of these ran in black and white, but the cabinets would have transparent overlays to color different parts of the screen, like Space Invaders.  Don't forget you can do this in MAME with an overlay file.

If you get mameui and sort by year you will find that everything 1980 and newer is color and everything 1979 or older is black and white. There are a few exceptions but you can pick those out by hand.
