Buggy Boy / Speed Buggy

[Xiaou2]

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.

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.
