Where is Mr. Flea? An arcade game of a long time ago.?

Question

I'm talking the early 80's. A pretty fun video arcade game about this flea on the dog's back and it had to overcome all these obstacles and dangers. I'm trying to find the ROM for it to play on MAME, but can't find it.

Answer 1

The game itself is not listed in MAME, at least not .107 version which is quite recent. That means even if you found a rom, you';d have nothing to play it on. Tragically, the best you could do is find an arcade original, dump the rom, and get one of the MAME guys to emulate it for you.

EDIT: Correction, turns out the game is actually titled "The Amazing Adventures of Mr. F Lea", which is listed in MAME and I do have a rom of it for you. Contact me with an e-mail address that I can send it to! (and give me my Yahoo Answer points!)

Answer 2

The Amazing Adventures of Mr. F. Lea (c) 02/1982 Pacific Novelty.

A four part game where you get Mr. F. Lea where he wants to go (on the back of some lush, tasty dog, of course). You run through lawns and across highways, on the tails of other dogs, and up a hill to get to your destination. Occasionally you even make a run for a dog's head.

The intro of the 'William Tell Overture' plays in the selection screen.
The end of the 'William Tell Overture' plays in the Game Over screen.
The main part of the 'William Tell Overture' is played in the 'Dog's Back' scene.
The song that is played in the Lawnmower scene is 'Waiting for the Robert E. Lee'.
The song that is played in the Dog's Tail's scene is 'The Man on the Flying Trapeze'.
The song that is played in the Dog's Hollow scene is the 1950's pop hit 'Why Do Fools Fall in Love?'.
Each time you lose a life, 'Brahm's Lullaby' is played as Mr. F. Lea is parachuted to the bottom of the screen.
Tchaikovsky's '1812 Overture' is played when you successfully complete a scene. It also plays as you enter your initials after the game is over and you made the high score list.
Completing an entire level (all four scenes) will yield a cut scene, set to the song 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow', before the game begins again.

Each of the four scenes is taken from another game. The Lawnmower scene is a copy of "Frogger", the Dog Hollow scene is a copy of "Donkey Kong"'s first screen, the Dog's Tail scene is a slight variation of "Jungle King"'s Vine scene, and the Dog's Back is a revision of the Boulder Jumping section of "Jungle King".

The Amazing Adventures of Mr. F. Lea is the only Pacific Novelty game that doesn't use a cassette player for background sound.

The release of this game was dedicated to Doris and Addy.
