Title: New T-Mek arcade VIDEO
Post by: red_johnny on January 13, 2008, 09:27:04 pm
This is my T-Mek I just got for 300 big ones.  Works great cept for some marquee issues.

Great score.
I remember when I first got my Road Riot 4WD twin..... boy, those twin Atari cabinets are beasts to move around. (similar to yours)
But games like that are always a hit with the kids and adults alike.

That's superb, but damn did it hurt my ears!

Wish I had the room for a sit-down.

Funny the effect arcade games have on kids, isn't it? They have no notion of what an arcade is, but the games are still a huge draw.  ;D
My niece comes over to play with my daughter and we have tons of toys and a Wii, but she goes bonkers over the MAME cabs every time. When I ask my daughter (3) if she wants to play Bowling on the Wii, she says she wants to play, but in "your room", meaning World Class Bowling on the MAME cab.

The T-Meks look real cool. Never saw one of those in the wild, but as a fan of the Mechwarrior PC games I'd love to play it!

Nice! Never seen that game before. Seems like a real steal at that price. The title and the fact the units are called Mechs makes it sound like Mechwarrior, but the video clip character select looked like tanks? Hows gameplay?

Ah, just read through some fan sites, it looks kind of like a new version of Battlezone. Thats awesome.

My daughter loves World Class Bowling. We'd play it with the mouse in front of the keyboard for hours. However it's a bit easier to play in MameX with XBox controllers.  ;D. Your post motivated me to get my butt moving on that trackball control panel. Thanks!  :cheers:

Yup it is a tank game and it plays very well.  I had to calibrate the joysticks but after that it was awsome.  SO far the only repairs I made were a new light for the marque and a splice repair for a button on one of the joy sticks.
