Title: Solar Quest and other Cine/Vec - Opinion
Post by: vernimark on September 16, 2014, 01:39:53 PM
I found this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=311093645376&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:IT:1120

I think the price is a little bet high for a not working PCB (although it seems to be in good shape), I dunno what you think about that.

But my question is: do you have any experience about this game? Actually I like cine cabs but they are not the typical games where a player says: OMG I played 4 hours, very funny...

I find most of the games boring after few minutes...

Has this game something special or it is simply a sort of space wars "extension"?

If you could give a vote to the enjoyment given by playing these games from 1 to 10, what did you vote?

this is my list:


Space Wars:4
Star Hawk:6
Speed Freak:7 but too hard, I always kill a lot of cows...
Rip Off:5
Star Castle:8
Armor attack:5

Armor Attack just 5 really ? I think it's their best game especially in two player.

Star Hawk, despite the awesome cabinet I think is soooooooo boring. I could play it "endless" first time I tried it....it's just a point and shoot game in disguise. Sure the graphics looked nice for that era but no....I'd give it a 4 tops.

Speed freak is awesome for its novelty of "decor" in a racing game, like the planes flying over etc. but indeed.....so hard.

Star Castle is great too. Agree on the 8.

Didn't play any others so I can't comment on them.

Solar Quest, Star Castle and Armour Attack are the best ones IMHO.
