^This
Possibly the best thing ever. I was so close to buying one and completely forgot to send the order form off. I found it when I was clearing my last desk out.

Did you ever see the little-remembered Mrs Mad Bastard?
She just went 'Erk! Gibber gibber' and then exploded.

A B&B in Whitby I stayed in had the original of this framed
And it was of course "so bracing".
Only the English tourist board could try to sell the "sit in a deckchair in the freezing wind and rain from the North Sea" as a *bonus*. What a genius stroke of marketing!

"after spending 11 and a half shit months in your depressing factory with no future"
"why not fucking suffer by the sea for two weeks eating crap ice cream and piss flavoured fish and chips on the beach and beat your screaming children silent with the impossibly designed deckchairs available from that nice man who has just been let out of jail"
:D
really, this country is a "little" odd

They've ruined the arcades!
They're all packed with 2Fast2Furious wanky crap poo games. Where's all the JAMMA cabs with Double Dragon at 10p a go?! I found a sit-down Outrun in the fair, and Oasis had an arcade graveyard at the back with a full sit-down Simpsons, but it was bost. I could've cried. And I did.

It's soul destroying.
The oldest game they had on the pier was House of the Dead 3. In my youth, it was jammed with JAMMAs of The Punisher, DD, Knights of the Round, Captain Commando, plus a few of Neo Geos with King of the Monsters.
At least it has a working Propcycle though.

I remember seeing Firefox, and later Dragon's Lair
both laserdisc games on that pier.

Man Dragon's Lair was quite ubiquitous in the late 80s early 90s.
I played DL a grand total of once, not making that mistake again.
I would slaughter thousands upon thousands of innocent people in order to play Virtua Cop again :(

With you there on Dragon's Lair. A definite case of WTF? gaming.
Virtua Cop was OK, but Time Crisis beat it with that foot pedal.
Then again, NAMCO did brilliant jobs on Ridge Racer and Tekken but only after SEGA had got there first with their plain 3D vectors.
Don't get me started on I, Robot though...

Just do what I did
Get a copy of MAME for your PC, and get all the old arcade games for that. I build a USB joystick out of decent jap arcade parts and am loving playing all the old classics at home!

I'm still trying to convince HER
to allow me to build a MAME cab for the front room. Apparently I "have enough game shit" and she won't let me buy the MDF.

I wish I had the room/skill to build a MAME cab
This is what I use:
Got my PC hooked up to a Scart TV with a hacked VGA cable, so it displays virtually identically to an arcade monitor.

Bah!
If you where really hardcore you'd have a Neo Geo hooked up to a bare arcade monitor that gave you shocks when you touched it, and you could only play it using a coin mech that only took old 50p pieces! :D

I would've done.
But I am not Archer Maclean, so I have no clue how to go about restoring cabs. Plus the fact that my garage is full of corpses.

I'd be willing to shell out a four figure sum

R-Type
and Bubble Bobble right at the back.
Mind you, Mablethorpe had one of those sit-down light-projection racing games for aaaaages. Can't remember what it was called, but it was lovely to see it while it lasted.
A full Star Wars cab is still the best, though full motion Space Harrier and Power Drift are a merry old whizz.

Power Drift
is the only driving game I play, as all the rest are foetid arseholes.
I'll have to look out for the BB cab, but I now have a huffy girlfriend to drag around these places. She didn't even let me look around Eastgate market last time.
