"A couple of weeks ago I've posted on various
forums that i was looking for a taito cab (empty or not, i don't

Fortunately, i received an answer on a german arcade forum.
unfortunately, the cab's location was berlin. that's more than 500
kilometers one way - for an (almost) empty cab. whatever, rule
number one:
If
you REALLY want something, go get it - no matter how far away it is!

"So
from left to right we have Kimberly from Space Ace and
Princess Daphne from Dragon's Lair. What made me laugh when I
got this commission was I remember being like...8 or something and
walking into PC World and seeing the box for the game Dragon's Lair
and saw the knight and the dragon and the girl on the front wearing
practically nothing (the black swimsuit rip off thing) and a sparkly
semi-see through black wrap. I thought she looked like an
interesting character to draw and promptly forgot about it 5 minutes
later.Now year I am years on and what have I drawn? Well that's a
cyclic world for ya." -Street Devil (Artist's comments) Now available in the

- AUSTRALIA Road Trip by Dexter
 |

"Out Run (アウトラン ,Auto Ran) is a 1986 arcade game designed by
Yu Suzuki and Sega-AM2. The game was a major hit with arcade-goers
and is notable for its innovative hardware (including a moving
cabinet), pioneering graphics and music, a choice in both soundtrack
and route, and its strong theme of luxury and relaxation. In
retrospective interviews, Yu Suzuki has classified Out Run
not as a racing game, but as a "driving" game." - Wikipedia
But Out Run is also a great reward for Dexter...after
doing his '##Oz
Road Trip##'...in
Australia! ~Enjoy~
