A friend and I just bought our first two arcade cabinets. We plan on rebuilding one (original vector
cockpit) and using the other (2004 golden tee) to make the "M" word that we shall not speak of.
Anyway of course this got us to remember the old arcade days of the 80's. We got talking and we both remembered two cabinets at the local arcade that we both remember but for the life of us neither one of us could remember either of their names. So after a week of trying to figure this out we are both stumped. No one else seems to remember these and no amount of reading online seems to have helped. So thought I'd ask here since I've already been doing some reading on our rebuild project.
So the first one was a fixed gun cabinet, like Crossbow, where there was a gun on as the controller. Where a princess is kidnapped by guys in suits then she escapes from them and runs away. You then have to shoot the bad guys from getting the princess. Actually had digitized voice that said "help me". Pretty neat for 1987.
The other was also a gun game that was also there in 1987. This one had you shoot mobsters in like the 20's or 30's in like Chicago or New York or something. I remember it well because it was a period setting which there wern't many of during that time. Everything was either modern or fantasy in those days.
Anyway anything would help.
