Hey,

Have you ever seen one of these in Europe ?
And I am not talking about a nice blonde girl wearing white boots !

I haven't played that one, but I do remember a very similar game with a plane (or was it a heli ?) on an arm and in about the same cabinet like that...but that was in 1977 or so....

Mmmm, maybe it was this one.....?

But .....I seem to really remember a biplane and it was on an arm like that and flying "through" circles.....but maybe my memory is just mixing stuff up....

IF you find these...prepare to some serious cash for it....


P.S. why does it always seem that these games end up in the hands of people who have absolutely NO clue how to play them.....  ::)

Yes that's the game I posted in the video Thorsten :)

The more I look at it, the more I'm convinced it was that one I played in....the late 70's....already an old game by then :D

I was 1 when it was released  :roll: ;D

Wow, these machines demand crazy money!

I found a thread over on KLOV from last year and the price was around the $8000 mark.

I'm yet to see one on any European forums though.

Oh, so I should have watched your video before posting ;)

This game is at FAO near Frankfurt. I played it ~3 years ago and it was great fun :)
