Lucky1 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I just stumble on this new Namco Star Wars Pod with curved screen. Can't imagine the price of this baby.
HazzardActual Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I played a jet game recently that was on this system. theres a gundam game for it too. I wish american arcades would cut the bullshit and start ordering jap games.
gigapig Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Stunning, I bet that's hard to find over here and won't be in the local fish and chip shop.
bclout Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I wonder how the (curved) screen works? Is it projected? From the back or the front? Hmmm, this gives me an idea for a not too expensive flight/f1/etc simulator...
Lucky1 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 I wonder how the (curved) screen works? Is it projected? From the back or the front? Hmmm, this gives me an idea for a not too expensive flight/f1/etc simulator... Probably a projector. Found this "Immersa-Screen" dev. "This equipment and projector is available for PC and Playstation games as well as running Flight Simulation software packages." http://www.mamut.net/PanetariumandDinosaurs/subdet19.htm
HazzardActual Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Its a projector, basically you sit like 2 feet from the center of the dome, so the screen kinda wraps around you. In the jet game, going fast and getting close to buildings gave me a little bit of vertigo
Agrajag Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Drool! I look forward to it being added to MAME in a few years. Simulating that dome will be no trouble when we all have holographic TVs and cybernetic implants... HyperSpin behaving oddly?

Lucky1 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Sounds good! You could make a video and review at the same time and share it here.

gigapig Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Just dropped my daughter off at the local bowling alley for a kids party. I scoped out the arcade and found this game "Lost Land Adventure" which is another projection game with a domed screen. Then on the way out I found the Star Wars game as well. I love the controls, but 2 issues at least for me. It's £2.00 a go and I watch the attract mode for 30 seconds and felt the old nausea coming on Anyway I'm going back to collect her shortly so I might have a go. I really want the play the old Atari Star Wars site down cab.
gigapig Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Quick update. Well I'm obviously more of a Porkins than a Skywalker, as I didn't manage to destroy the Deathstar on my first attempt. However while my daughter was playing a piece of that very expensive machine fell off. LOL. Great game though, I did like the launch from the hanger bay, just wish it was on free play.
HazzardActual Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 a place by me has the star wars machine but i havent had the time to go by there yet. You owe it to your HS brothers to give us an arcade tour
gigapig Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 a place by me has the star wars machine but i havent had the time to go by there yet. You owe it to your HS brothers to give us an arcade tour There isn't much there and I did consider it but it's damn noisy, which an arcade should be, but there was all the bowling noise on top so I couldn't speak over the video. I may go back when it's quieter.
