Title: Wheels Runner
Post by: strykr on February 11, 2012, 06:07:10 PM
Hi all,

First post on here, so Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone on here knew of, or have ever played a game called Wheels Runner,

http://www.lucaelia.com/mame.php/2008/Another-Italian-Arcade-Game (http://www.lucaelia.com/mame.php/2008/Another-Italian-Arcade-Game)

I played it many years ago in the UK on a family holiday and loved it. I grew up in a town called southend which had some great arcades BITD yet I never saw one of these ever again,  Im pretty sure it was a dedicated 2 player cabinet.

Nowone anywhere seems to have even heard of it, let alone knows if theres still one left in the world  :)

Cheers

Never heard of it, why not chase the original which is probably a lot better (as the text suggests) and they do pop up every now and then.

I love Championship Sprint, an original wouldnt fit into my flat, so i build a driving cab just to play the 360 games via emulation :)
The control panel was donated very kindly by Mr Superully

Its a nostalgia thing, with Wheels Runner, it was a lot of fun to play as far as i recall. Plus I dont like the idea that theres none left in the world! but nobody seems to have ever played it   :(
