Watch as this garage is transformed into an awesome retro arcade!
Man! That totally kicks ass. I want one :D
Thousands of dollars and hours of time to play absolute junk! Give me a modded Xbox and a big screen any day over this.
Yeah, it's like that Jay Leno guy, why would he bother with all those old cars when he could just have a modded Honda Civic.
Honda Civic, no. But I would surely take a new Lamborghini over the old, same can be said for Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bugatti, Lotus, etc. Why play/drive the past when the stuff in the present is far better.
Not to mention, you think Leno has like a 1985 Honda Civic in his collection?
Hard to replicate some of the sit down units he has, or the ones with custom controls..
Starwars has a unique joystick, outrun has feedback in the seat..

The cockpit version of the Star Wars games, complete with flight yoke, was one of the main reasons I used to bug my folks into taking me to Bullwinkles when I was a kid. Good times :)
From the Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_%28arcade_game%29#Arcade_details)

The game featured several digitized samples of voices from the movie, including Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi, James Earl Jones as Darth Vader, Harrison Ford as Han Solo, and the mechanized beeps of R2-D2.
The game is available as a standard upright or a sit-down cockpit version, both of which are elaborately decorated. The controls consist of a yoke control (similar to a steering wheel ? twisting left and right gives combined roll and yaw; pushing forwards and backwards with the side control gives pitch) with four buttons ? two trigger style and two in position to be pressed by the thumbs ? each of which fired a laser positioned on the four leading edges of the X-Wings.
Would be really cool to have the full simulator versions of AfterBurner, or one of the other simulators that Sega released. I remember one that I saw in vegas that actually rotated the cockpit upside down.
I've played both the XBox and the Gamecube version of Crazy Taxi. Doesn't come close to the sit-down vertical arcade machine... If I was rich enough to buy an elephant* I'd mos def find a CT box as well.
WOW, that guy knows how to set up the right "atmo" for a retro arcade!
Makes me think of film scenes ("Flynn's" in Tron, or a young John Connor in T2...)
and btw re. emulators etc:
