Definitely more appealing to me personally than the Mortal Kombat design. I'd have to get rid of that Midway logo though! ? It's funny because the Bally/Williams pinball table has a proper Williams logo. I guess the pinball games are under different ownership now than the video games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargate/Defender II is exceptionally difficult, I'll give you that, but still fun... Sinistar is just as difficult, but I'm sure a lot of people (including myself) would like to see that in some form as well. My question was sort of tongue-in-cheek, and a little surprise. There was no reason to get defensive. I actually called out to you in the 7800 forum while I was working on porting Galaxian. I know you are exceptionally good at that game so I believed if anyone could see how close it was to the arcade it would be you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they called it either 'Stargate' or 'Defender II' in the list of games either way most people would still know what it is. This is something that bothered me back in the day: I remember Stargate being the arcade sequel to Defender. But, over time, Stargate was increasingly referred to as 'Defender II' on both the arcade and console / computer side. It always struck me as being a marketing-driven decision: sure, the name 'Stargate' doesn't have a direct link to 'Defender' - but, by the same token, Defender's sequel was never called Defender II when it was released. Thing is, this didn't confuse anyone who knew the arcade games, and it would have been more than possible to advertise the home versions with the real name and no confusion as to what it was. 1 hour ago, PacManPlus said: 3) ...But there's a demand for 'Toobin'?

Yeah, Toobin' wasn't a bad game by any means, but it never had the popularity of Defender (or, going out on a limb, Stargate). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if they started to put some hidden games on these cabs as Easter Eggs. Indeed, because otherwise Robotron would be my #1 "why is this not there??" game. There HAS to be a Robotron 2084 / Smash TV / Total Carnage / possibly Sinistar / Blasteroids thing coming. And then later at some stage, a Steering Yoke / Flight Yoke setup like Star Wars, but with Spy Hunter / Roadblasters / Vindicators / Hydro Thunder (lol jk just wishful thinking there!). Oh and as for Defender II / Stargate, yeah, I thought that was an odd exclusion. Maybe it's in there as a hidden if you get a certain score in Defender? Seems really silly to not be in the collection. Oh and as for Toobin', well, it looks dumb but the play is FAR more addicting than most realize I would say. I'm not saying it's in my top 50 arcade games or anything like that, but it is more than just worthwhile, it's very fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are exceptionally good at that game so I believed if anyone could see how close it was to the arcade it would be you. didn't mean to be defensive. i was just putting out my opinion. 1) i prefer stargate, because thats what it was in the arcades, but they might have had problems later due to some name confusion 2) so far arcade 1up is using the main games in series, and not too many sequels depending on the title (although they do have some on their atari titles) 3) stargate was harder, and less popular than defender, and they wanted a lot more diversity of titles. although a lot are hindered by poor controls with only a joystick, like paperboy, or sinistar. later -1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Thank you ...I have to say, a 'Sinistar' artwork cab would be *awesome*; although I don't know of any other games that use a 49-way joystick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrock Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Galaga cab looks awesome, control panel layout is dumb. Why put the stick in the middle, and then the main buttons on the right side? Better to put the stick where it was in the gen 1 cab, or at least the main buttons on the left side or have ambidextrous buttons. The current layout makes the panel more cramped then it needs to be and with zero benefit. So close, yet so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Yeesh.. I was actually enthused about this until I saw the control panel. I'm very comfortable with the Defender arcade controls and was hoping they'd have at least approximated the standard "Multi-Williams" CPO, but alas.. it looks like the Mortal Kombat layout won the day. I'm really not sure how well that would work with Defender. unless maybe you can customize it. e.g. Can you at least thrust and fire with the 2nd players buttons? Hopefully...

Looking for more arcade action that makes use of the spin-tastic retro-controllers? You got it.

Keatah Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Perhaps not. Consider what a Pong-only unit cost back in the day. And how about refurbing one, if you could find one, all that work and tedium and mess.. No. Not that expensive. And you get more than one game. And it's modern tech to boot. So many advantages! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Loguidice Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 You're paying for the form factor and look, not the games. You get the same games (and tons more) and better spinners on competing products for the same or less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
