This is the snap of Cannonball, "An Enhanced OutRun Engine". It works on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and other major Linux distributions.
The snap includes the game engine only; when the game runs for the first time it will download the appropriate ROM files.
sudo snap install cannonball
sudo snap connect cannonball:joystick
