Does anyone here remember Sega's "Star Wars Trilogy" arcade?
I saw this in a shopping mall in 1998 or 1999, but I never got to play it. Controlling the joystick to have a lightsaber fight with Darth Vader looked so badass.

Yeah, like most arcade games in the late 90's, it blew my mind when I saw them in person. I definitely got to play that one a few times. Never made it to those lightsaber battles haha.
Ah, I remember when good Star Wars games were a thing in general...

I never played that one (I wasn't into Star Wars, so I might have just walked past one), but I remember how cool those late-90s Sega arcade cabinets were. I remember playing some ski game that was controlled through ski peripherals, it was a blast.

I think I remember playing on an After Burner cabinet many years ago. Those memories are pretty hazy. I know it was something with a cockpit.  I also remember the Cruis'n World cabinets. I played on one of these once.  |

 The funnest most amazing arcade game I played as a kid was the G-Loc R-360 cabinet. The R-360 could also play Wing War. Here's a video of the R-360 in action: The R-360 rational cabinet for G-Loc was unfortunately very rare. I only got to play this experience once, at a Tilt Arcade in Tallahassee, Florida - sometime in the very early '90s. The line to play the game was long, and it was expensive to play - I think it cost $5 per play IIRC. Unbelievably awesome arcade experience. If I were rich I'd track one down and own it. SEGA only made ~150 of these, I'm sure they aren't cheap nowadays. Here's a four page promo flyer for the R-360: After Burner had its own motion cabinet. But it just operated off of lift hydraulics. So you'd raise up and down, tilt left and right, but it couldn't do 360 movement like the R-360. Anyway here's a photo of MJ playing that version of After Burner:  |

That's pretty sweet. I think I may have seen one of those, but didn't get to play it. I also saw some sort of mech simulator game, but didn't get to play that one either.
