      Do you know City connection ?

      Jokes aside this is one of my favourite old classics... and I did play the original arcade.

      It seems only 1000 units were produced of the jaleco original version and some people state there is not even one working cabinet left.

      Game was distributed also in the US with a different name, Cruisin', and with different artwork and character (male).
      If you're interested in game details, tricks and history check this site.

      Fact is that no Jaleco cabinet artwork is available on the web; no pictures of the cabinet at all.
      After quite exhaustive search I was able to find just a few decent scans of graphics related to NES & MSX ports.

      They required some intensive clean-up and "fixing" but finally I managed to create the overlay:

      This is the "side bar only" version as someone requested; fits default lr-mame2003 (current version) video settings @1080p.
      "Integer scale" version will follow.

      Overlay + related cfg files + instructions are available here

      Note: The driver is a blue haired (!) girl called Clarice; as I found out searching for artwork.

      Clarice's image with the cat comes from a japanese website; I suppose it's fan art. Unable to find out due to language (even with google translator) so unfortunately I can't give credits to the author.
