Someones eBay story of a cabs death.
<< < (8/9) > >>
WareWolF:
I played Death Race plenty of times when I was a kid.  It was at a few arcades and a grocery store that had a little arcade.   It was a FUN game.  It never caused me to think I should go out and run over people with a real car.

Has that ever actually been enforced? Has anyone actually gone to court over a broken eBay contract?

I read the debate on the game and I must interject a very valid point.


you are hitting stick men in black and white.   Its not like the arcade game looks and plays like Carmageddon, where you hit pedestrians and their limbs fly apart and the torso fall with ragdoll physics and smatters of blood all around. 

Theres no need to remove such a game, just place in a section away from games like ninja turtles. When there was an arcade around here they had a section of games kids weren't allowed near, I don't recall what the games were exactly, but if I remember correctly it was games like Gals Panic and some gambling games. But lets be honest, is an 8 year old going to hop on a black and white blocky graphics game and try to hit stick men, or play Naruto?

I object to this game based on the objective of the game, not the reality of the graphics. I'm not saying we have to go out and destroy all examples, just that I'm not sad one bit that this game was destroyed.

this one came FROM an arcade musuem, had a potentially significant place as either the first or the last one. 

Thats what gets me annoyed.  Its not just somebodies dead cab sitting in the back of the garage.  it actually left the musuem to a private concern who promptly tore it apart to make a buck.

 I would feel the same if it was a pong, star wars, first pac-man, space duel.    ( i do admit i would be a bit more put-out if it was a cockpit ) 

I'm ignoring totally the concept the game was based upon and going with that.
