This is a really clever and interesting project - thanks for sharing. How on earth did you come across the ROM for this game?

Many hours of searching through internet archives of dead forums. I don't think you can find it any more.

That's great to set out looking for something like that and actually find it!

Do you plan to mirror it somewhere (e.g. throw on bittorrent for a bit)?

Nah this was really just a fun side-project, just posting as proof-of-hack. Also this specific game was retired from machines. Fun as a challenge, though!
