So I had a go on one of these in London, maybe 20 years ago.. afterburner 2.. just thought about it and thought yup i need one now.

skip to 1:30 for the action.

I believe you can get them for around £4000 if you can find one for sale.. A small price to pay imo..

But.......... there's no gravity in space. There is no feeling of upside-down. Imagine if you had to dock and use the bathroom? You'd potentially have to climb in and out of that thing sideways, or worse.

I hate to say it, but this game just isn't good enough to justify something like that yet. Plus the screen is tiny, and it doesn't look like there is enough room to support a larger one.

Hehe agreed :p I would have to say that no doubt the cabinet would cost around an extra £2000 to £3000 maybe more :/ to modify professionally so as to not look like a mess, but i have no doubt it could defiantly be retrofitted to house a massive screen (the sides around the screen even towards the outside of the cabinet would surly house very little in terms of components) and receive a new paint scheme. If I had £10,000 and a room to slap it in I'd be posting the pics here in around 2 months ;p

I bet that thing still is in the Trocadero (rode it 20 years ago, too). I know the Sega NASCAR machines still were, at least a year or two ago.

You should do it, but forget the screens and wait for a high def version of the Rift.

You may need to install sick bags for the first few flights

There's still mass and inertia. You know, the force that makes my butt wanting to keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity. ;)

I'd say that the resulting force is a single vector and gravity could easily be that single vector. :)

Good times on that machine OP. I lost count watching folks play on the machine, before it emptying their pockets of change (both through the cost and by being tipped upside down) - hilarious!

Accelerating, decelerating, thrusting and turning all create "gravity".:) Only when your ship is absolutely still would you become weightless.
