Does anyone own one of these? (Spaceharrier cab question)
« on: July 08, 2011, 03:48:33 pm »
Hopefully in the right section, apologies if not.

Purely for nostalgic reasons, I wondered if anyone owed one of the circular "moving" Space Harrier machines.  I remember the upright and the "normal sitdown" like Afterburner style cab.

Seen as most of you seem to be from the US and have way more machines than us UK lot was wondering if anyone has come across these/owns one and wouldn't mind taking a photo or two.

I have fond memories of playing it as a kid (and thought it was amazing at the time), but only ever saw it in a couple of arcades over here in the mid 80's.

Not me, but I played it and I liked it. But really why I'm replying (and immediately getting off topic) is the knightlore, one of the very first ZX Spectrum games I saw and immediately fell in love with that computer!

Haha :) Me too, I was pretty young (6 at the time) when it came out but used to play it regularly.  It stuck in my head as one of my faves from back then, along with others like Ant Attack, Deathchase, Manic Miner, Wheelie etc - good times!

Back on topic, anyone have any pics of the cab from the first post?

There must be one left somewhere! :D

There are a few pics of the cab over here.

Edit: Not sure if it is exactly what you're looking for, but one of the sit down ones is a "rolling type".

Hi, should have said I've already looked on Klov.  There's no pictures of it there, just the upright and standard sit-down I was talking about. 

If memory serves there were a couple of games made in this style (outrun and hang-on).
