Arcade version of Elite?

How cool is this, a guy managed to build a cabinet with the game running on it. Just look for yourselves.

Elite cabinet.

Wow! - Fair play to the guy not just for making an awesome cabinet, but for customising the game itself to adapt it for arcade-style gaming.

That is pretty cool. You really would get get immersion into the game with such a control system.

[Submeg]

That is sweet....I want one!

Just the one???


I want FOUR... Then I can network them together... Now how's about that for a great idea...

[Harrison]

Building a similar cabinet with controls tailored for other games would also be cool. Imagine one for the X games, or Eve. Maybe even for something completely different such as a Mech game for example. What was the Mech game that really cool custom controller was released for, on I think the Dreamcast.

That was for the XBox. With the huge controller which costs a lot of money. Oz has one, he's a mech freak. The game was Steel Battalion.

[Harrison]

That's the one!

I thought Dreamcast because originally that game was announced for the Dreamcast, but it's development was later switched to the Xbox.

Is the controller as good as they said? Cost a fair bit at £130 too!

I understand the controller and game are now quite rare as only about 2000 of those controllers were ever made.

[Demon Cleaner]

As far as I know, Oz really likes the controller and says the game is pure fun and worth a buy, have to visit him one time to give it a try.

Lol, that would be sweet, MechWarrior 2 sitting in a console, vs three other people....would be sweet.
