Global VR...anybody tried one?
Donkey_Kong:
They now have a pretty impressive collection at my local casino arcade. Last time I was there I was thrilled to learn they picked up the mario bros, kong and kong jr cab...the galaga/ms pac cab and the Space Invaders/Qix deluxe. Today, I go in there and now in the middle of all that they added a VR Global Machine. Pretty nice machine!
Does anyone know what they have for sticks in those? All I know is that it had a circle restrictor and I was able to play 720 on it, and it felt pretty good. I wasn't able to devote 20-30 minutes to find out if I could play really well with it...but it seemed to have potential. Because of this fact, I'm very interested to know what type of sticks those have. If no one here knows I suppose I could email the company. Here is a link to the machine web page...
It has about 80 games listed here...

That's probably a rebranded Ultracade.

I wonder how much these cabs go for.
davidrfoley:
GAC is nothing more than a watered down UltraCade machine. Global VR acquired the non exclusive rights to manufacture the machine, and the former CEO felt it would be better to rebrand the machine Global Arcade Classics, rather than use the widely known UltraCade name. Becuase of contract disputes with me, Global VR did not acquire the Capcom library rights, and rights to other various games, which I had personally held onto so they had to reduce the number of games available on the platform.
He also tried to strong arm Chicago Gaming, who was using the UltraCade based system for Arcade Legends by raising the price and reducing the availability. Chicago Gaming was smart, and turned to HanaHo Games and released the Arcade Legends II which was based on a proprietary GameRoom Classics hardware, using their own licenses and licenses to the Capcom library that HanoHo has.
So bottom line is that Global Arcade Classics is merely an UltraCade System with less games on it and a different title, and no upgrade options.

That's pretty funny! It's like rubbing the lamp to get the genie to come out...
