woohoo! found a cocktail cab to play on during lunch (",)
(1/2) > >>
danny_galaga:

found one in the shopping centre just down the road from work. its a jap/aussie cocktail cab with horizontal joystick. ive been playing galaga. it has four or so games on it including dig dug and 1942. which i havent tried yet as dig dug should be 4 way and 1942 8 way. thus one of them is gonna be annoying (probably dig dug). seems to be called 'play zone v192'. anyone heard of this? is it a bootleg from back in the day or some kind of pc based modern bootleg? i did notice that it had some kind of error message on it one time i went to play it so i just turned it off at the wall to see what would happen. the start up seemed to be non-pc looking with tests and stuff...

whatever it is, its nice to be playing on again (",) . and the horizontal joy is surprisingly comfortable. as long as theres only one button to hit (i use my thumb on this one) its more comfortable than my vertical stick cocktail. more than one button would be pushing it though as the way im hitting the fire button on this machine is distinctly slower than on mine.

Does it look like this?



That's yer average 3/4/9 in 1 board. I've seen them in a few places.

Here's another.  This one labeled "play zone"

arrrrghhhh! there be pirates!!! yep. looks a lot like those pics. not the same selection of games but the same format and style of writing, and the use of the word play zone. i guess the give away now i think about it is that there are little placards under the glass of advertisements from back in the day aimed at the arcade operator....
