I would sell my soul to play Outrun2 Deluxe just ine more time. Deluxe cabs are the absolute best way to play arcade games.
>>12083513A mall near me has one of these. I'd play it but I don't like outrun
There was a vr game I played in the early 00s that was a collab between steven spielberg and rockstar that lifted you up and down. Miss that game
>>12083513Im more about making an upgraded version out of the back of a real car, attached to a racing cab setup. That'd be pretty fucking legit.
>>12083513A few places in the USA still have one. A movie theater near me still has one in their lobby.The main issues are that this deluxe cabinet came out in 2003. So it's 22 years old. And the motion motors that shake the whole car need constant maintenance. Sega also stopped making replacement parts about 10 years ago. So you have to dig through the used market to find replacement parts.Although some people have been able to use American or Chinese replacement motors to keep the machine going. Some owners have turned off the motion but kept the machine going but it's just not the same if the motion is turned off. The fun experience is cut in half.
>>12083513only one screen?sim enthusiasts have DIY'd better
>>12084047Huh? There's 5 screens. 4 screens for driving.Each car has 2 drivers. The game switches between the drivers at different parts of the stage.
>>12083513that seems a bit dramatic.is driving fast for real on a track outside your means? even just karts? seems more fun than arcade slop
>>12084127Sir this is a gaming board.
>>12083513If you live in the US, check to see if there are any Tilt Studios nearby you. Quite a few of them still have Outrun 2, since Tilt got a ton of the things while buying up old Gameworks locations.
>>12083513So some other anons have said that all these Ridge Racer Full Scale machines have been destroyed or lost. Is this true? It made me really curious. I spent about 2 hours reading about them. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of all them being gone. How can they all be gone? There was around 50 to 100 of them made. I mean the 1990s was only 25 years ago. We have arcade machines from the 1970s and 1980s still around. It doesn't make sense to me. Surely Japan still some.To be clear I'm not obsessed with this game. I'm disturbed by the "lost media" aspect of the story. I just don't get it. There has to be 1 or 2 machines still around somewhere in the world. Surely Namco kept 1 in storage somewhere.
>>12085035>To be clear I'm not obsessed with this game.Then why do you make posts about it in every arcade thread going back for several years on this board?
>>12085035Unfortunately Ridge Racer was just so enormous that it was difficult to keep in storage. It was also made during a time when arcade machines were still considered disposable. Arcades owners threw out old machines regularly because they needed to make room for new arcade machines being made. The arcade machines from the 80s and 90s that still exist today survived because of arcade collectors who saved them.They were the guys digging in dumpsters pulling out arcade cabinets, or buying up old machines when they were going to get thrown out by arcades.Sometimes arcade cabinets get thrown into a warehouse and forgotten about for 20 years before being rediscovered. Also you are probably too young to remember but newspapers would have classifieds where arcades would be put up for sale.>>12085319You are one weird anon. Do you think only one person likes ridge racer full scale?It's quite popular on several arcade websites and has reached legendary status in the arcade community.
