I have been trying to find a copy of Code One Dispatch to add to my arcade PCB collection for over a year...and I was able to arrange a deal with someone I know from Germany to get a copy of the game in my collection...as its not as simple as just writing a new card to the Konami Viper PCB...it requires a bit of reverse engineering! So it's half retro gaming review and half video game preservation project!

Code 1 Dispatch from Konami is one of the absolute weirdest arcade racing franchises around but sadly its a very obscure gaming footnote in the pantheon of arcade games. You will never hear Code One Dispatch in the same conversation as something like Daytona USA, Scud Race or Ridge Racer...but you should! Because Code One Dispatch is obscure gaming history and it needs to be experienced!
Basically if you have ever played Emergency Call Ambulance on the Sega Model 3...you will know what Code One Dispatch is like...but unlike Sega's arcade efforts...this game goes even HARDER! It's like San Francisco Rush minus the racing!
Sadly the Konami Viper emulation in MAME isn't ready for primetime yet as all of the games are unplayable. Hopefully a real hardware capture like this helps the emulator progress to the point where you can play at home...because this is a rare video game and its def something that needs some video game preservation put behind it!
But if you take Daytona USA, mix in some Scud Race, with some Cruis’n USA and San Francisco Rush! Maybe some California speed too!
But it’s 100% hidden gem gaming in my opinion!
