Super nice video, I enjoyed it a lot.

Man, like Sonic 1992, I wanna do another road-trip. Last one is 3 month ago, picking up 3 *cough* pinball-machines. 3 more month to wait till my brother and I can even make a start with his games-basement.

Enough about me, Bruno, I know of a guy in the south of the Netherlands sitting on 107 (!) sit-down-race cabs (yes, that's one big warehouse he's got there). I promissed to alert you if I saw something that even resembled an Out Run PCB of some sorts. On the photo's the cabs look really good.

Please drop me a mail since I seeem to have lost your e-mail adress, when switching to a new PC a few weeks back. Sorry for being off-topic.
current line up: 3 x New Astro City 2x Atomiswave SD, 3 x Aero (2 NOS) and Aero Table
Pac Man
Black Knight pinball
On the way: Daytona USA

Yop, don't forget to post few pictures  ::) ;)

I agree with you... Doing a roadtrip is great, I mean it gives something special on the cabinet itself... that make it more *special* and it adds a story on it. Hours & km on the road don't matter... Fun & 'ArcadeLifeStyle'... all the way  :P ;D

Who'll do the next roadtrip here ?  ;) 8)

I don't want to give myself bad luck by posting ahead of time (look at what happened with that Professor Pacman I thought I was getting!).
When the games are in my house I'll post all the pics.
The only clue I will give is that they are pretty big games (not as big as the Galaxian Theatre though!!).

It was in 2005... it was the last time I've seen this beautiful R360 (and of course played it)  :'(

It was in London, at the trocadero in the funland arcade :



It's a great game... it is in the 'must have list' of many crazy collectors  :P ;)

I have no clue about a R360 to sell yet  :'(


That is my Holy Gral!!! Well after the Daytona USA Special, but i don't have room for it....
See ya Andrea

Is it Daytona Special ?  :arrow:



8 players ???

Sooooo crazzzyyy  :o ;D

So we both played the same game :) The only R360 I ever seen was at the Trocadero ;)
The first time I've  "tested" it was in the 1997 or 1998.
As for the Daytona I'm fine with the 4 players version too ;) Lol!!!

See ya Bruno

Waahahahaha, amazing they kept it that long !!

I played that very machine too. It's a miracle it is (was) still working after I played it :P

I guess it was around 98 for me too.
