Yea, I put a lot of quarters in that machine on a working vacation back in 89, DAM it's closer to 30 years....where has my life gone, lol.
It was very additive at the time, I remember you could pick up the automatic fortifications and you had a super weapon button ( it had to recharge ), a fire and a missile button I think. Then a joystick to drive.
Later PC games I played with the keyboard and a trackball mouse, seems like they got the shooting on the run calibrated in pretty good, a moving shooter is harder to hit, but I love to camp out, I'm a sniper at heart.
I have not played in a long time, Unreal Tournament ( Game of the year ) had an programmers pack where you could build your own arenas, that's how long it's been for me.....now you wear the VR goggles don't you?
