anyone here living around port leucate (france)? [question on Chameleon RX-1]

[starlord]

Hello there, newcommer starlord here:

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to assure you that I'm enchanted to post in those forums... Your commitment to the mame scene has been nothing short of fabulous (especially given the recent dumps of the galaxian3 cabinets): this is software preservation at it's finest...

Actually, I have a question for you: I have spotted in port leucate a very curious cabinet named the chameleon RX-1 made by digital sunil (korea):

quite similar to this one aside from the fact that the one I saw was actually a tiltable chair: it went out in 2002 and appearantly is heavily PC based...

As such, I was actually wondering if this one might have been among your to be dumped collection in order for it to be preserved also?

many thanks for the insight.

best regards.

mikael.

Hi Starlord and welcome to this board.

I've never heard anything about the Chameleon RX-1 system so far.
According the pictures of the game, it reminds me the wave of 'Real Virtuality' games that came in the 90's in the arcades, mostly for networks games purpose. At the time, the system used was (mostly?) Amiga based.
Unfortunately, I don't find any video of this game in action... so difficult to tell how interesting it can be?  But regarding few in-game picture, it looks to much 'computer game' for me...

true: vids of that cab are rare not to mention the actual internet entries regarding it!

that's one of the reasons I wanted to know whether some persons among here were french and living close to the coast... this way, perhaps they could take a peek...
