Title: Craigslist Oddity? Post by: Shepy on September 16, 2012, 04:55:45 PM http://madison.craigslist.org/vgm/3197179634.html
I have no idea what this is or if it's rare and was wondering if anyone here had any idea. Anything you can tell me about it would be great! Title: Re: Craigslist Oddity?

Also it's good to see a fellow Wisconsinite. Title: Re: Craigslist Oddity? Post by: Duke.Togo on September 16, 2012, 05:02:41 PM It's not rare, just a deluxe sit-down racing arcade game. It was one of the early polygon graphics games, and is really a fun racer. I believe the only system to get a home version was the Atari Lynx.

Probably a reason they are selling it at that price before fixing it themselves.

Be prepared to to spend twice as much on the Yoke controller than you did on the cabinet - unless you get really, really lucky on eBay. Basically, you're competing with people who are restoring a Star Wars cabinet and MAME cabinet builders. Both groups are prepared to put down serious coin to acquire it. There's a company that made reproductions for $350 - but there's a little controversy about order fulfillment, business practices, etc. at another message board I frequent. My opinion: not exactly a machine collectors are clamoring for and will take a bit of money to get playable. Only worth it if you have a Yoke sitting around and really, really like that game.
