Firstly, Thanks to the Devs. This is a great and fun game :)
Maybe 2yrs ago, I was at an Auction. There was a standup Buggy Boy (or speed buggy).
Id never played it before, so was very cool to get that chance.
But... Now that its in mame, Ive noticed a difference in gameplay...
In mame, when you hit the a 'gate' pole, you slow down a hair. However, in the version I
played... if you hit the poles you were bounced backwards! Also, the point value changed
to a lower value on the gate banner! If you missed too many times, I think it didnt award any
points! I recall it being very difficult... so I evaded all the gates to see how far I could get.
Questions:
Has anyone else played that version? And... Is Mames version just different OR is there
an error in it? OR is there a certain setting that changes the way the game operates?
Maybe the 3 screen version boards are different, and were the ones inside that
standup cab?
Anyone?

You may want to report this as a possible MAME bug at http://www.mametesters.org . Someone on that forum might know more.

Well, I just got hold of one collector who said his machine works the same way
mame does.
He was not sure if theres a Dip switch setting to change it.
Maybe only certain versions utilized this feature.

I found the manual, that i download for my cab :)
according to the dip, i can not see any settings except from easy to hard ...

Heya man,
Cool to see ya here. :)
Im guessing that maybe it was a different board set.
Hope someone finds it.
