Global VR...anybody tried one?
ark_ader:
David, did you eventually release any of the non Bluth laserdisc games for your machine? I thought I saw a advert about it when you were selling your cabs? Badlands was one of them, and maybe Super Don Quixote was the other one.
My reason for asking is to inquire if you have contacts for these copyright holders?
davidrfoley:
We did not release them on the UC platform. SDQ was published by Universal, who is still in business. They have headquarters in Japan. The focus on Casino gaming these days, but still license the arcade products. Konami published Badlands, and are also headquartered in Japan and still license the classic arcade products.

"Global VR" is sort of a crap name.. what the hell does it have to do with Virtual Reality? ;D
davidrfoley:
the description matches the company.....but that's just my tainted opinion after dealing with them. The VR came from the companies original product that is now called the VR Vortek. It's a game machine that you put your head into a display / control unit that gives you a 360 degree rotation first person perspective. They sold a lot of units and it was the only machine of its type that was successful in coin-op. After that, they moved into the realm of porting PC games to the arcade.

ahh.. OK. I think I played one of them.. It was some budget FPS game.. Beachhead? I actually liked the way the hardware was set up.. didn't care much for the game though. I can't remember if it was stereoscopic or not but I'm guessing it wasn't since I don't remember :) Any VR that isn't stereo is pointless..
