Game Description
Space Race is an arcade game developed by Atari, Inc. and released on July 16, 1973. It was the second game by the company after Pong (1972), which marked the beginning of the commercial video game industry. In the game, two players each control a rocket ship, with the goal of being the first to move their ship from the bottom of the screen to the top. Along the way are asteroids, which the players must avoid. Space Race was the first racing arcade video game and the first game with a goal of crossing the screen while avoiding obstacles.

Nevermind, in case anyone sees this, you need to run dice in compatibility mode (google it). This wasn’t super obvious to me as someone who typically plays games from the 90s, so I hope this helps someone
Doesn’t have the rom file? Am I missing something?
