The Gaelco thread

[SlidellMan]

I thought I would start a thread to one of the more obscure brands in arcades: Gaelco. They created:

Aside from Smashing Drive, their games were never ported to any home computers or consoles.

I might as well show Smashing Drive and Tokyo Cop:

I love playing World Rally and Snowboarding Championship on my Evercade.

Thanks for bringing attention to the Gaelco games!?

Most of Gaelco's arcade games never got home releases outside of Smashing Drive. I bet that they would make for excellent homebrew ports for the Lynx and Jaguar.

 Radikal Bikers was ported to PS1 in Europe.

We had a Radikal Bikers at the arcade where I worked back in '99/'00. Only had one though (should've had two linked) - and it was always in the bottom 3 earners, vying for last place with Beast Busters 2 and Golden Tee '98. I remember giving it a try a couple of times but I enjoyed Rolling Extreme which they also had.

I was pleasantly surprised by the second Gaelco compilation for Evercade, btw. Even though they were not very much removed from one another, I was afraid it would be a case of putting the best game on the first compilation and 'the rest' on the second one... But Thunder Hoop 2 is way better than the first one for instance.
