Raine is an emulator, it emulates some M68000 and M68020 arcade games and is mainly focused on Taito and Jaleco games hardware. It started as an experiment with the Rainbow Islands romset, dumped by Aracorn/Romlist. Raine can emulate many nice games now, and new games (previously unemulated) are appearing weekly.
Sound is also getting better, mainly thanks to the work of Hiromitsu Shioya.

...They live not far from your house... Just over the fence from the last cottage on your street there's a dump. Not a romantic place, huh? But that's where they live. Exactly, dear Sirs and Madams... Anyway, Absolutist has decided to sponsor their own Olympics. Though, when we found out how much that'd be, we got a bit desperate. However, that didn't last long. MSNbroadcast became our media sponsor. Now we are living with the dream to sponsor one day all-rats Olympics that could be hosted on their nice arena called Ratadium near the dump. While that moment is yet to come, they are training hard every day. We don't know why but javelin-throwing seems to become rats favorite sport. Are you ready to reincarnate in one of them and master your throwing skills? So, you either get roses or rotten eggs and tomatoes - it's up to you to prove what you are worth... No animals were harmed during the development of this game. Any resemblance to real persons, living or passed away, or entities is purely coincidental. P.S. Advertisers are desperately needed! Sponsor upcoming Rat Olympics! Put your ad on the Ratadium and help us organize the full-scale Olympics (no kidding!). Get in touch with us at pr@absolutist.com!
