Savage Quest

[Blackjack]

Just curious if anybody else has played this coin op?

 

I rand into it in a mall arcade several years ago (like 10 yrs), and I really enjoyed it, but nobody I talk to has ever heard of it.

 

You play a Mamma T-Rex. An evil witch doctor has stolen your offspring (or eggs I can't remember), and you have to hunt him down. Along the way you fight other dinosaurs and get to munch on a bunch of little dinos and cavemen. I had a ball with it.

 

I saw somewhere on the net that it was planned to be release on the dreamcast or some other console but got scrapped. I keep hoping that Mame will include it at some point, but I never hear any talk of it over there either.

 

I'm hoping this little gem doesn't become as extinct as it's subject matter.

I have played it, the year it came out 1999/2000.

I thought it was an OK game with actual ARCADE LOADING SCREEN! It took something like 15-25 seconds for the stages to load up. I thought it was a little too easy in the earlier levels, I was only able to play it for about 5 levels after I got tired of the repetetiveness of fighting the same things over and over and....................

I have only seen one here in St. Louis.

I didn't get to play it long enough for it to get repetitive I didn't have the time.

 

As for the loading screen, apparently the hardware used was pretty unique, that's why I'm surprised Mame hasn't bothered with it. It was called Arcade PC or PC Arcade or something I think (I could be way off base though).

savage quest was one of the more intriguing games i've seen come and go.. it was in south texas's peter piper pizza at one time.

 

lots of kids wanted to play it long ago.. where savage quest is now, though, well, i don't know.
