Back in the day I had a right ball on Arcade game Warrior! Long before Dead or Alive, Motal Kombat or even Street Fighter hit the streets! Now when I got round to playing it at the local arcades, the game were'nt exzacilty the newist cabinent, but I still enjoyed it. Anyone else got any fond or what ever be it memories of this game? Please comment if anyone has.

This game? If so, yes - I used to play it at a roller skating rink in McHenry Illinois.

Cinematronics and Vectorbeam have an interesting and tangled past. Much theft on property (intellectual and material IIRC) between the two. Relatively low production runs and distribution limited most of their profits (that and some custom parts that nobody had lying around....come on, techs figured early on your working vector monitor in a non-profitable game made tons in a running Asteroids....try swapping a Cinematronics monitor sometime!).

 

That game is highly collectible and fairly rare. I have only ever played one working one and seen one other dead one. Don't know exact numbers but far fewer than many other later production games. Considering they probably died years ago and wern't seen as collectible I'd say there are just a handful around anymore. Great game though, reminds me of Boxing and Jedi Battles on the 2600.

 

My fav from that company has to be Speed Freak. Vector cows just rule.
