The recording toy car
When children play with toy cars they tell stories, adding their own narration, voice-overs, and special effects. The HotCam is a manual control toy car with an onboard video camera and microphone.

They can then “play” the captured scenes through a TV, re-experience their stories and share them with parents, siblings and friends in a similar way to something as traditional and tangible as a painted picture or clay model.

New MAME! From its initial release in February 1997, MAME has grown to support over 5700 different arcade games from the early days of the 1970s through to today’s high-action 3D games, meaning it is the largest arcade machine emulator project in the world. The 0.100 release has been humourously titled “1.00”, poking fun at the MAME team’s statement that as long as new arcade machines are being released, their emulator will never be finished.
