The cool arcade pix thread

[Bods]

I was amazed there were only 2 arcade machines that used 3D upon till a few years ago

SubRoc 3D
Continental Circus 3D

Whats the Popeye machine next to the Joust, it looks similar to the Arm Wrestler machine but not quite, maybe different style one

Obama and Justin Trudeau, enjoying a beer. Presumably after they had played Joust.

I need to arrange a trip just to play that Dropzone cab, if ever there was a computer game that needed converting to arcade that's the one.

Happy days playing Dropzone on my C64.

I thought this was a pretty cool pic. I found it in an old Taitel brochure from around 1984 showing their fleet of service vehicles.

Thats awesome, I have Taitel and Fairfax Monitor Glass

 

[Alpha1]

That is super cool

 

[Bods]

I'd never seen any other reference to the Fairfax name apart from on the glass I have.

What did they sell under Fairfax Automatics? anyone know more info on them

Be nice to see more Taitel and Fairfax stuff come up

I was looking at a scan of this pic the other day trying to work out if it was a load of side art etc hastily cut up and thrown together just for the Xenon launch with the Ghouls n ghosts words put on separately but it does appear they've printed full cpo art for it as you can see on the scan the characters on the cpo avoid the buttons and sticks. It's an awesome pic!
I'm guessing this art was only ever used on the ATEI show cabs as I've never seen another one.

Weird that it's got 2 joysticks.

It's also got 3 buttons each player. They were showing off the Xenon to the world for the first time so one stick and 2 buttons each side wouldn't have been the look they were after. My guess is they made it Ghouls n Ghosts to grab attention but this dedicated GnG was only for this show.
