Dat pop/marquee!

Looks cool...bit too modern/flashy/HD though...The original low res/scanlines suit the artwork more imo. Although that might just be me being an old fart

Yeah hard to see anything really.
Do you think people will be restoring them in 30 years?

Anyone see the Temco Urban Ronnie has for sale?

Can't say I've ever seen one outside of arcade fliers.

Can't believe it came out in 1995! :eek:

Edit: is it a faked VHS recording, wiki says it came out in 1997?

They could've just got the date wrong, there's a lot of other clips of the same expo.
Dunno why they'd fake it.

Dariusburst is up on Steam (€36.79/£ 23.99). I've played around 25 hours of the beta over the last couple of weeks and it's pretty much a flawless conversion. There's the full arcade game there (AC mode) which has a ton of content by itself and there's the new home port CS mode which is probably where most people will spend the bulk of their time.

I really can't recommend this enough, I'm still half shocked there's even been a Steam release (and the Vita/PS4 versions coming on 08/12, too!)

Steve X2

Am I the only one who thinks its a bit, eh, fugly?

Each to their own I say, but I wouldn't have it. But then again, I'm a weirdo so best to ignore me and what I like

I’m just not a fan of the extra boxy looking candy cabs.
That one looks like it could wash your clothes as well as play a few games of Metal Slug

I thought you were talking about the game I mentioned above, apologies! I do like the cab though

The Last Bandit

Its not too bad really, all candys have a certain domestic appliance look about them apart the smaller Jalecos.

That one looks like the result of a regular Candy getting busy with a Lordsvale

eddhorse

If it did wash clothes while you played metal slug id say we would be able get them into our houses easier !

I got in contact with the guy selling several candy's in the UK. "Videotronics UK" on FB they are, add was on UKVAC, Think eddhorse posted the link. Anyway he has 4 different types. He gave me a £100 discount if I could collect from Brentford which I believe he is based. Would be a great group buy if it worked out cheaper but thats in a ideal world. Still a trek to get it and a real off putting thing is the sterling which is a killer atm lol. Undecided, he said he has 25 cab with more on the way too.

eddhorse

Are they all working ? Long trek to Brentford near London alright, would be an adventure

Road Trip.

EDIT: its Bradford which is closer to Leeds/Manchester.

TechnoFreek

I presume by 100 pound discount he means that's the cost for shipping he's added on.

So the real question is can you get a van and yourself over and back to Brentford for less.

Otherwise just take the hit and pay up for the cab and shipping.


Candy cabs are money pits. If you're worried about saving a few quid on the cab itself due to shipping, exchange rates etc, don't. You're going to spend the same again on games, repairs, accessories and generally getting it looking A1.

This is not a cheap hobby.

Hope this helps.

From my own experience of buying from pics, it would be nice to see the cabs in person first and choose the one you want.

Gave it a quick blast there using the Namco stick + Mayflash adapter, worked great. Dual screen is very cool. Will have to give this some of my time now along with Xenoblade.

After seeing in person a driver filling the motels, i wouldn't send anything rare or precious with them.

And then there's my personal suspicion that a lot of stuff gets opened by pmotel(which i think is illegal as they are not customs). I only use them for stuff that can be replaced easily, which a nice PCB cannot.
