Title: A match made in Heaven....NOT!
Post by: Mario on September 21, 2010, 11:49:09 pm

This game was posted today on Craigslist in Chicago. Why in the world would one convert a Star Trek sitdown to a crappy platform game? Unbelievable!

Hey -- Rygar is an AWESOME platform game.

But, yep, that is a crappy conversion -- who can play Rygar sitting down ?

:laugh2:  :applaud:

Seriously though, yeah, usually those cabinets got converted to some driving game.
There was a time about 8 years ago when I was seriously considering buying one that a guy in Montreal had for $99. I would have MAME'd it.

Mainly because Star Trek will not only break, it will burn your house down if you even look at it wrong. Sega vectors are notorious junkers.
