Here's the link to SLOT RACERS.
Compiled in DarkBASIC Professional v1.04, it's only a 1.13 MB download.

You'll need a joystick AND another human player.

I tried to faithfully reproduce the ATARI 2600 experience.

Hey, nice Very authentic

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes, They got them hoppy legs & twitchy little noses,
And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?

Thanks Kangaroo2 here's the official download page http://www.heartbone.com/various/SlotRacers.html.

Maybe one day I'll make this networked so both can use a joystick. Too bad no one makes a PCI card to allow two joysticks on the same PC.

lcfcfan Use your mouse and move the arrow pointer over the switch that is marked POWER.
Click the left mouse button, this powers up the console.
Then operate the other 5 switches in a similar manner.
After the console is on you can flip the GAME RESET switch to actually start a game.

It only took about 100 hours total.
I reused the front end from my COMMBAT game.

For any use I have made this "generic frontend" available to all. All you have to do is plug in your game. Change a just a few of the included graphics and you have customized it for your own game.

http://members.toast.net/mlc/VCS_demo.exe

If you have a standard DarkBASIC Pro installation,
then you should take the default unzip, just click the top 'Unzip' button. You will then have a new fully working DBPro project:
'VCS_demo'

For DB1 users:
There is a working source version contained in the zip.
'VCS_demoDB1.dba'
To access it click the second button 'Run WinZip'.
From WinZip 'Extract' the entire archive into a new folder, then click through all the subfolders until you get to the 'VCS_Demo' folder, then move that folder where you need to.

Thanks lcfcfan , If you are interested in seeing it, the interface source code from January is here:
"Here's a complete woking DBPro source project"

I never noticed that I screwed up the spelling until just now!
No it is not a cooking project.
