Pretty decent arcade in my country: Taurusworld
« on: March 02, 2009, 03:43:18 pm »
Not just an arcade, also lasergame, bowling, restaurent, you know the stuff, but it looks very nice.

They even have a number of pinballs (where to find that these days) BUT the most amazing thing to me is that they call it a Sega Gamesworld AND it has a R360 !!!

I've played R360 only one time, was in the early 90's when the game was new, in London.

I _HAVE_ to play it again.....Venlo, I will visit soon ! :D

Looks cool. The arcade looks a bit similar to what they have in places like Walibi and Zandvoort (circus), ie mostly racing games.

Taurusworld reminds me a bit of these all inclusive places like Kalkar. Although the arcade in Kalkar was a mess. Most machines were broken. It's all inclusive, so I guess they didn't really care if the machines worked or not.

IIRC they had an R360 in Scheveningen too, but it's gone there now.

If there ever was a R360 in Scheveningen, I've never seen it there. I do remember playing Power Drift in the sit-down version, very cool and underrated game (there's a working upright patiently waiting in Belgium for me......)

They had one the first time I visited there. It was right next to the entrance and there was an attendant helping me to get in.

I wasn't exactly sure if it was an R360 or a similar machine (if there even exist something like that), but the news paper clip says it's an R360 too:
