Title: Sega Astro City Question
Post by: kenzo42 on June 18, 2005, 12:21:38 am

i've been using an astro city cab for a while now, but i've never really understood what astro city really is?

are the megalo, versus city, astro city, windy actually games? or are they the name of cabinets? i've tried to look up astro city and a couple others on klov but there were no matches.

thanks.

You can also see some of the cabinet designs here (http://www.sega-naomi.com/Pages/hardware.htm#7) at the NAOMI Mega Site.

sorry i'm a little slow on the uptake. let me rephase:

so, astro city is NOT a game, but purely a cabinet name?

thanks.

Correct.

Pictures here of what a Japanese arcade looks like, full of lots of these generic cabinets: http://www.himuragames.com/galleria_jpn_pics1.php
