I used to play that in college in the late 90s... I LOVE that game.  I would love to have that cab.  I tried the DVD but the DVD sucks.

I poured a lot of money into one of these as a kid... can even remember that damn wizard dancing around all crazy yelling "don't forget to use your time reversal cube!". Bastard.

That is one of my MUST HAVES. One of these days I'll own a Time Traveler. If that was closer I'd pay for that one right now.

It's that whole shipping from Montreal to Utah thing that stops me from doing it.

I know.. I loved this game too... but I'll rather get a pinball machine with the money... besides, you can get Time Traveller for your PS2 for $10.

Can't believe all the love for this game.I personally thought it was a big turd with one neat feature.Was there something I missed?I played it once and it seemed like a very very poor excuse for a fighting game.Not trying to offend anyone about there love for this game just not sure what was so good.

My next purchase is a pin, but after that it will be Time Traveler.

No way can this game ever be emulated, even on a PS2. It's gotta be the real cab.

I hated playing this game becuase I always died in 15 seconds, but there is no other game like it and they probably won't make another one like it for a few more years.

You just don't see these games around any more.

You may want to get the Time Traveller first, as they rarely come for sale.  As a Pin are always available.

Once the convex "hologram display" mirror on a Time Traveller breaks that's it... it's ruined. There is no replacement available. Finding a full machine is pretty unusual.

I remeber this game.  It was so cool with the hologram and every thing.  I kept waving my hand threw the screen and thinking it was amazing.  They should come out with more holographic games. *sigh*
