Arcade / After Burner Arcade

Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 07:04:00 PM

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? 

Thoughts, comments... Post it up!

I technically haven't fallen for it at all yet, @targetrasp .  Mario Kart World came with my Switch... I couldn't bring myself to buy it otherwise.  I think I will be holding the line on all this madness

@BLUEVOODU how can you say that about a non-Toby Spidey!?

Honestly, Not sure. lol.   

We watched it again at the $5 theater (no longer dollar theater lol)... and it was still pretty good.  My son thought it was a tad bit slower and people weren't clapping this time around (as they were on opening weekend).  However, it's still pretty good.

Didn't realize the service was ever down, that's how much I've played xbox lately

LOL... honestly... it's been a VERY long time for me since I've been on Xbox Live.  I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for @mastermario and the news

It surprises me because I expected better out of Filoni and Favreau.

They're probably thinking... this is what Lucas felt like lol.  My guess is they thought it would be good and resonate. 

I don't know... at times I feel people are too hard on creativity.  But maybe it's also warranted ... The ever changing opinions of people... you can never please them - especially if you try.

@BLUEVOODU Documentary? I don't recall

And wow, talk about saving a few cents, It seems not too long ago where you got both 4k and standard blu ray in the same package. I can't imagine dropping the standard blu ray saving all that much. Corporate min-maxing is really sticking it to the consumer.

Lol you remember the documentary.

And I know... it's something more recent.  Disney did it with their steel book releases of Ahsoka, Mandalorian... and several other TV shows.  It seems like this is now somewhat the most common mode.  Not for everything, but for most things.  I guess everyone is trying to figure out how to squeeze out every cent these days.
