The cool arcade pix thread

[tb lilley]

Whoa, very cool!

Here's another pic, the flyer is currently up for auction here: http://page22.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l334621937

 

Looks like there was a cockpit model as well: http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c541289139

That looks like a Sega Missile Command cockpit. I have an owners manual for that.

 

[aeroflott]

Yep. I played that cockpit at Mad Harry's in Bristol every week in the eighties.

 

[Alpha1]

Very cool!

I love this thread and spend many an hour looking through all the great
pics, anyway, below is me and my younger Brother, around 1982 in my
parents dining room ! (I may have posted this on the forum before, I
cant remember!)

That's amazing - thanks for sharing! Do you still have that Orbit?

 

[Alpha1]

Dude where did you parents get an Orbit from??????

 

[tb lilley]

I had the same track suit back in '78. And those curtains look familiar. But an Orbit?! In the dining room?! Almost to cool for this thread.

That is indeed a cool pic. If that was me, I'd have that pic enlarged and framed on my games room wall!

 

[Alpha1]

Look how minty fresh that Orbit looks. Man so obscure, especially the UK!

I dont know what happened to the Orbit, I shall ask my Dad next time i see him. He definately doesnt have any games any more, they all went when i was early teens.. He used to operate a handful in a few pubs, but only as a hobby / bit of pocket money, I remember having the following in our garage: a Centipede ded, cabaret tempest (always broken in some way), phoenix in a converted cab, JumpBug in a generic cab, and quite a few tabletops piled up... Also at some point there were a couple old fruities, the type with the round red buttons.
Ill also ask if there are any more pics although i doubt it.
and Yes, werent the curtains lovely

 

[the-hat]

oh and i should add (*sigh), I remember seeing the next door neighbour mixing his cement on one of the centipede sides :/

I found some strange pictures a while ago, it was listed on an auction site as a "sega power sled", the giant bobsled racing game from 1996. However, this does not look like the normal power sled. Is this a prototype power sled, or did sega make a one seat version that looks like this? Or is this something someone made home-made and tried to call it a sega power sled.... or maybe its something else altogether.... I haven no idea.

Does anyone know what this is? I don't know where or who else to ask.

I skimmed through this thread again now, and I noticed that Alpha1 posted a flyer of a rare Irish Atari/Nintendo Popeye.

Here is one in the wild.

 

[muddymusic]

Woah! Where did you find that?!

 

[big10p]

Wow. Never knew such a beast existed.

 

[Alpha1]

Arch I need this! You have a PM!

 

[Bensonrad]

Good god, is the guy who has one on the DLF but would not post any pics of it! You'll struggle to get him to sell it Ol

That's the best picture of one yet, you can see the artwork nicely.

I so want this game...

Couldn't find the "shame" thread, so it'll have to go here. Sorry about that. Nothing cool about this at all.
