@matt thanks! I'll try to make this work on my RPi 1 Retropie 😃

@derthomas there was a garbage truck in the racing game Midtown Madness 3 on the original Xbox

@satsuma thanks! I don't know if there is an Xbox emulator for Retropie, but I'll have a look.

@derthomas I'm pretty sure Paperboy had garbage trucks cruising down the streets as obstacles to the player.

@JediSoth so far we didn't find any. And my 4yo isn't too patient 🫣😅

@derthomas In the UK, on the ZX Spectrum, we had the "classic" Trashman, which was all about collecting trash.

Weird thing about this game is that we don't even call it "Trash" over here. "Binman" would have been more culturally accurate.

@davetansley awesome, thanks! Now I just need to find a working ROM.

@derthomas World of Spectrum should have all you need: https://worldofspectrum.org/archive/software/games/trashman-new-generation-software

@davetansley I got one, but now I need to figure out how to setup the controller (8BitDo SNES) to work with the emulator (on Retropie).
