Looks fun, but no neo games?


Dolphin Blue (in Astro City cabinet)
Remove that and put in a multi slot neo board

If I had a Star Trek teleporter. I've always wanted to go. I love when people that used to work at Atari will bring in their prototype arcade games. I saw last year somebody brought the laserdisc version of Road Runner. I also saw somebody brought the Beavis and Butt-Head arcade game. Plus a full running unit of The Grid? Hell yeah. Even Ed Boon wanted to check that out.

I think it's unlikely, The Hyatt Regency is a gigantic hotel. I guess I'll find out though.

Well it wasn't sold out. That was like the coolest arcade I've ever seen. Soooo amazing
They had some Neo Geo's. I pummeled everyone on SVC Chaos and Samurai Shodown IV running on a big six slot.
They also had a gold/woodie 2 slot. They had A LOT of games.
The Beavis and Butthead games were there, Along with the Grid.
Ed Boon was there, they had a custom cabinet for the new Mortal Kombat that looked really nice, but it was just housing a console game, which was pretty gay.

I took some pictures.

The Goldie was fairly well kept and housed Magician Lord and Cyber-Lip, perfect for the 80-early 90s vibe of the west wing. The 6-slot was in pretty bleak condition however, I mean how can you put a 6-slot in a show yet leave some of the marquee slots blank so it looks ghetto?

Definitely fun to play the classics, nicely maintained Sinistar, Tempest, Robotron, Defender, Burgertime and the rest. The Astro Cities housing shmups were busy non-stop. And there was a cherry Forgotten Worlds cab with original controls on it. That's the best part of the show, seeing cabs you would never have a chance to play anywhere else and playing games the way they were meant to be played before MAME and compilations.
