Title: Time Traveler (arcade) Post by: Chainclaw on September 20, 2008, 08:56:12 PM When this game came out, it was quite possibly the most amazing thing ever. Real people! Holograms! You get to play as a time traveling cowboy!
http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=10124 When I first saw this game in an arcade, it really felt like I was in the future. This was stuff straight out of Star Wars! Obviously it was almost entirely novelty, and it got old fast, but until then, it was just jaw dropping. Found a couple vids on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omoAWvDm2_E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Sup_qSVhg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtNL37Ec2sA This game is probably my "holy grail" arcade machine. If I find it for sale, and I have the cash for it, and the cash to get it home, I will have to buy it, even though I'm in a small apartment.

Haven't played it myself but it could make for an interesting accessory to the cab if you ever get one.
I remember when this game hit arcades as well. No one played it as it sucked quite badly, but it still got it's share of quarters from people who wanted to show it off and chat about it like a conversation piece. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Time_traveler_dvd_version.jpg Title: Re: Time Traveler (arcade) Post by: two_scoop_steve on September 21, 2008, 12:53:20 PM the local movie theater had one of those cabs, i played it a few times but was never any good at it.

Good luck in your search Chainclaw. Title: Re: Time Traveler (arcade) Post by: Sirgin on September 22, 2008, 08:12:15 AM That game looks pretty unique. I'd have to try out it first to see if I like it, though.
