    Any of you lads know what a PAL Mega CD Snatcher is worth?

    I really want to buy this, but am not too sure what to offer. It's one game I'm not too familiar with price wise.

    Well it is adverts so offer a half eaten apple, 3 John player blue and a packet of tayto.

    Last time I checked it was going for around €90-120.

    I will buy whatever console the game ends up on. Was looking like potential vaporware for a while.

    Speaking of vaporware, where's The Last Guardian hiding, ey?

    Only word since April last year is that it was 'pushed back' to 2012. And then Ueda left Sony, and things got even more uncertain.

    Apparently they have other studios on board, including the God of War guys in Santa Monica, to give them a hand with some technological wizardry.

    That cat/bird thing better be amazing!

    Would be great for a Superbike game when you do a wheelie, or for a combat flight simulator when you're not doing loops, or barrel rolls all the time!

    Must try and finding a 360 degree cage version that is used for flight simulators, surely one exists!

    Youd be better getting yourself a flash cart like the Everdrive thing.

    There was an R360 is south Dublin somewhere years and years ago. Possibly in Dun Laoghaire. I was always too afraid to go on it as a kid :(

    Dr Quirkeys had one, I don't think I went on it but it was a sight to behold. And it had classic Afterburner on it, none of this modern jazz...vintage stuff. Great cab

    I think the only games playable with the R360 are Wing War and G-Loc. Sure you're not thinking of this bad boy? The one John Connor was playing in Terminator 2 :cool:

    They had one in Dawsons Bray, I loved the thing. Really looks sedate when compared to the R360 though!

    Nope not the John Connor one, def a 360 one. Maybe it was the modern Afterburner, what year did that come out...

    Yeah, I had a go on the one in Quirkeys years ago. I think it was Afterburner but it might have been gloc i suppose.

    It was to the left at the door as you went in if memory serves.

    My memory is pretty hazy but I thought I remember seeing an R360 G-Loc in Dr. Quirkeys - right inside the door to the left, could see it walking past. Was mad expensive for a go though, 1 pound or something. :D

    My memory is standing firm on Afterburner. Though you never know, off to look at G-Loc videos to see it that was it. It was a long time ago lads :o

    It was definitely G-Loc, remember it well, had a go on it too, it was sh1t :(
    Never liked Afterburner and this was an update and the same old same old in a nifty cab...

    I do remember playing Outrun and Galaxy Force II in pneumatic cab form, very cool indeed.

    There's some ****ing bat**** motion cabs in Joypolis, Sega's odd (and really rather expensive) indoor amusement park in Tokyo. Check out the 360 Storm-G stuff at 7:30 in the video below. Day I was there unfortunately the queues were two hours long for it. Watched an insane and very loud Japanese guy play House of the Dead 4 instead. First time I've ever seen Japanese people laugh at someone rather than with them.

    They look brilliant! Not something you'd want atavan to have a go in after a few scoops though. :P
