Did ya Buy it?

 

[John Bennett]

Oof. No ROMs. No deal.



Starblade nearly had a sequel. I wonder if any boards are out there, as it did make it to a machine at shows.

Why is the video so good? Dumped?

Well, not necessarily extremely rare, but they seem rare to me :

TX1 as mentioned a bunch of times already
CosmoSwat (pretty sure Alpha1 had one but I don't remember seeing one come up for sale apart from that, it does seem pretty rare)
Shoot Away (original version)
Buggy Boy three screen cockpit
Ridge Racer triple screen
Slick Shot
Four Trax
Pocket Money by Nova Productions from 2002
A motorbike racing game, similar to Hang On deluxe (but not Manx TT and 99% sure it wasn't Hang On), the cab had a big horseshoe shaped marquee over it which said "Superbike T.T." (this may have been added by the arcade and not part of the actual cab). Was around in the late 80's if I remember correctly. From a video I found of the arcade here in Cornwall it was in, it seems quite similar to a Hang On deluxe but the decals are different.
Silver Skis pusher
Metal Hawk
There's probably others I can't think of but I haven't really seen any of these become available for years (or indeed ever). They were pretty much all ones I played in the St. Ives arcade here in Cornwall 30 or so years ago. Oddly enough i'd like to get hold of all of them at some point if it were ever possible!

Didn't think I'd ever see the bouncer. Shame about the roms!

Fair to say the game is "famous" because of the ninja III film

 

[mysticmonk]

The one game I've never ever seen is nintendos space launcher. A few cocktails are about, but there isn't even a picture of the upright (beyond the flyer).

Had my hands on the control panel of a smashed up one, alpha1 clocked it straight away. Think a bezel was found somewhere else.

I think it's official Namco video from back when they showed the game off.

Here's a video of the ORBS machine. I guess a precursor to the POD games.

I also noticed the other day a video of the three of the laserdiscs from Galaxian³ GH-28 28-player theme park ride. So perhaps they're out there somewhere. It's basically a 360 degree wrap-around render of the 2-screens you get in the 'normal' 6-player machine.

Im sure one of these was found and possibly purchased by Arcade Club several years ago, saw mention somewhere that it was supposed to end up at the Blackpool site.

Yeah I think it came from that haul of cabs in Ireland a few years ago or so. I think there was possibly more than one, no idea what happened to the others, might've been bought by someone else beforehand.

Not seen many battle shark submarine cabs,would love one of those(homer simpson drool)!

I have one, was fully working last time I turned it on about 6 months ago.

Now this thread is fully resurrected.
There's lots of huge 90's showcase cabinets that are super-rare or extinct now.
Capcom CAV 60:

Neo Geo 50

Taito Teatro:

(taken from Highway Games site - they have a great list of cabinets there. https://www.highwaygames.com/arcade-machines )

 

[Shoryu-stu]

Playscene 33 sit down cab.looked like the neo geo 50 but a lot uglier,cant find a pic anywhere.used to play on one at my local arcade back in the day. also never seen one of these

S.d.i was or is quite a rare game isn’t it ?
I played the one on central pier Blackpool in the day .i don’t remember it about much ,but then again i remember a vending machine selling 3 finger Kit Kats on that pier .lol
S.d.i was global defence on the master system for some reason .

 

[John Bennett]

Ah, Galaxy Force 1.

They were pretty-much all converted to GF2.

Suppose it’s a rare/undumped ROM set, rather than a cab.

Greetings, John from 2019.

You may find this interesting:

It appears to be a compilation of scenes from Galaxy Force 1

 

[Fantazia2]

Something that must be a rare cab if it ever existed.

Can anybody name this game, its a shooter and has 2 screens with one overlayed on top of the other I guess using a half silvered mirror, does this even exist or have I imagined it as I cant seem to find any info any more about it anymore.
