After Burner Arcade

[BLUEVOODU]

I was revisiting a few arcade cabs... and one of my most favorite arcade games of the late 80's was After Burner and the motion cabinet.  What a crazy time.  I swear, cabinets are not made like they used to be.  Maybe that's because this was a fairly complicated cabinet with all the ways it moved.

For those that do not remember, here is a video of the Cabinet in play:


This cabinet not only moved front to back but it also moved internally.  It really does not look like it's moving A TON, but you sure felt it in the cabinet while sitting and playing.  You felt all the dips and turns, banks and dodging the oncoming missiles.

After Burner was an awesome game and one of my favorites to play in the arcade.  Did you have a chance to play it in the arcade?  What was your experience with this game?
