Title: The come back of mechanical games in arcade?
Post by: DarthNuno on October 09, 2011, 02:15:12 PM: Tired of new video games in arcade? Racing games, fighting games, shooting games ..always the same concept but just with better graphics?
Maybe because video games in the Arcades don't impress anyone today, next gen consoles can do the same at home, we need something else ::)
No more virtual stuff, we need real objects in a real world ;D

Here's the Robo Restle by Robotic Amusements/Namco America

Note that these 'mechanical' games use also modern video display... the best of both world?

Post by: Q*ris on October 09, 2011, 07:23:14 PM: No, but I know where it lives and the seller is really cool ;).
Everytimes I see this picture I'm hesitating.
Again, like with the EM games and kiddy rides, basket ball games and stuff, I was and still am super tempted...
...but I should focus on my classic arcade collecting mission, I'll do the rest in another life.
