or am I just daydreaming?

Thanks for any info

Vantage supports about 62 games, all the classics you could ever want for a vertical monitor.

Except Dig Dug and Centipede.  The source has an incomplete Dig Dug driver.  Who wants a crack at getting it working?

I'm not the person for the job, but the thought of someone bringing Vantage back to life gives me a happy feeling in my special area  ;D
It was a shame that Brian left the scene so abruptly and left Vantage unattended. He was the only other Irish guy I knew at the time that was involved in the whole home arcade thing.   :'(
I thought somone might have come forward and picked up Vantage by now, but with emulators zipping forward like they have in the last few years I can't see a whole lot of people that would be interested in a low-spec vertical only emulator anymore. Shame really.

Grr.  I'm assuming from his directions on install that it included DOS.  Can someone host this for a day?  I just need the first image.

It's not terribly hard to do yourself.  Install DOS, unzip VAntAGE to your drive, install ROMs and off you go.

Edit: spoke to Erik, he said this:
