Don't say it can't be done! http://cgi.ebay.com/80s-Action-Arcade-48-game-system_W0QQitemZ140243347010QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140243347010&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A7&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14!

That is one crazy-ass viewing area...

I don't know what it was with the Time Traveller, but that display used to make me want to puke every time I looked at it.  Reminded me of Mach3 Cockpit and that huge lens.

If I had to buy that cabinet, It had to have barf bags attached.   :laugh2:



Turnarcades:

Never saw one of these in the flesh. I imagine a lot of games would play horribly in there and you may have some compatibility/interacing issues with a PC. I also believe unique machines like this should be restored and preserved.

However, some games would be very cool in one of these, particularly things like fps's, flight games and even the good old beat em ups would have a cool presence, though to really benefit from the hologramatic effect it would be better if you could shut off 'layers' like on certain emulators (ZSNES etc.) to make it look as though the characters are really seperate from their background etc.

I have played a Time Traveler, and also a holoseum that had some fighting game in it that was designed for the cab. The fighting game had no backgrounds, just the fighters - to emphasize the hologram effect. The fighting game sucked! Time Traveler was pretty badass looking to a poor 10 year old kid though.  ;D

That auction cabinet? THAT is an ultimate hellcade for sure.
