[Java Arcade Emulator | Vantris for MAME | Links]
JAE is a general emulation engine in Java. The emulated games can be played with Java-capable browsers. At the moment there are drivers for the following games:
Night Driver (Atari 1976): Atari car driving game from 1976.
Dominos (Atari 1978): Atari game from 1978.
Asteroids (Atari 1979): Very famous Atari game from 1979. I played on this arcade machine myself back in the early eighties (sigh). It is a vector game using the DVG chip (Digital Vector Generator).
Asteroids Deluxe (Atari 1980): Successor of the legendary Asteroids.
Centipede (Atari 1980): Very famous Atari game from 1980.
Gravitar (Atari 1982): Very famous Atari game from 1980. It is a vector game using the AVG chip (Analog Vector Generator), which is capable of producing color vectors.
Astro Fighter (DECO): I played on this arcade machine by myself back in the early eighties.
