I wish they would have used a pic of the good looking Star Trek unit. It has a seat that looks more like the captians chair and the chair is enclosed with walls so it is very dark inside the game. It has at least 5 speakers too. One of our local arcades had it for years and I was sad when it vanished one day. I soooo wish I owned it even though it would take up a bedroom here in my lil apt. The good version also has 2 monitors. 1 for the overhead view and 1 for the vector combat view. The cheaper one they are showing uses 1 monitor and crams everything on to it. The good version also has lights or leds which go back and forth from left to right below the combat monitor. The buttons on the captians chair also light up and it has a few other pieces of eyecandy.
That arcade cabinet
was awesome. It was very TMP like. It was just cool hearing Spock's voice talk to you while you try and blast Klingons and Romulans into the Neutral Zone.
I remember there was a cabinet here, but I'm not sure if it was the dual monitor or the single monitor unit.
However, TRON Deadly Discs deserves the #1 spot. I was getting worried that it wasn't going to be on the list as I was first reading that article. But there it finally was sitting proudly in the #1 spot. When you walk into that cabinet you feel like you are in TRON. What they need to make now is a lightcycle game where you crawl into the cycle - same position as in the movie - and fight against AI lightcycles or maybe even have 2 or 3 other cycles connected like in San Fransisco Rush type racing games. That would be sweet.
