hummm_mabbe Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 OMG OUTRUN WOWSERS PLAYED THIS IN UNI BAR IN 88 SORRY FOR CAPS - NOT SHOUTING - EXCITED *CLAPS* I was soo bad at outrun! My mate always beat me at it on his Atari ST (boo!!). What was that one where you drove a black Porshe 911? It was like a cop chase thing and you had to ram people off the road .... Apparently THIS is truly where it all began - the Fairchild Channel F. The first games console that could have its games programmed into it separately, instead of being built in like an aracde machine. You'll never look at an XBOX 360 or PS3 the same way ever again!

Wow, now I AM jealous Did you ever play the robocop arcade? That was awesome, the only one I ever put a WHOLE £3 in!

Villan Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 aaahhhhh i was a sponsored student and remember my age - beer was cheap in them days - free if u knew some1 who worked the union... what else is there to spend money on when u are a student also there was this thing u could do to the machines - i think it involved opening some flap on the back that was sposed to be locked, but sometimes not properly, which gave u free play.... oh and i was also good on the fruity so that subbed my games addiction! xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I read the wiki, its so cool. I never realised all that stuff about it being so advanced. I was always scared to play aracde games, I guess cos all the big boys would crowd around and 'judge' your performance. I once saw someone get 'mugged' for their credit on an arcade, bloody shitty area I lived in :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
