@Rudie#5388 across the Tokyo Skyline in Sky Tree

Don't lie to us Rudie, that isn't Skytree. That's that hideous Roppongi Hills Mori Tower.
They pretty consistently do stuff that sounds neat if you only read about it, but is actually awful if you go.

Also, hi Rudie. Good to see you here. :)
P.S because this is text, I should probably mention I'm not actually suggesting you are intentionally misleading anyone.

the Mega GIRP controller, a huge pad of buttons to control the game Girp, a bennet foddy game. I tried to play this once a very long time ago when it was at Babycastles and found it impossible

Not video game but …

This was a legit, but limited, produced game for location. Cue ball is used for a pinball.

Edit: oops! Someone posted a pic of this already. :P Well, here it is again.

3D Pacman another barely playable Babycastles installation I have fondness for. It required one of those projectors like you see at the planetarium.

@robinhoodie#5414 Oooh it reminds me of Pac-Manhattan. Now that was a big game! Also a precursor to Pokémon Go in some ways. Too bad it came before the advent of smartphones.

Also many of these giant arcade machines were novelties and one-offs but let’s remember Sega tried to make Tetris Dekaris / Tetris Giant a thing in 2009.

Crazy that Tetris and Pac-Man still find new ways to reinvent themselves after all these years.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom counts damage in the billions.


I wouldnt call this too big… more like just right.

Outrun 2 SP SDX

oh geez if only I could own one of these haha; the best game ever presented in the most ridiculous way.

I've had the privilege to play on these a handful of times - they had them at gameworks arcades in SoCal, Phoenix, and Las Vegas, but last time I visited any of them they were all gone. Nowadays, I wonder if the gameworks themselves are gone too.

so now I truly wonder if any of these exist anymore, and will gladly travel anywhere if I knew one was up and running.

I believe there is a Ferrari theme park in Abu Dhabi? Maybe they have one there! I'd love to visit Abu Dhabi one day haha.

@p3ters#5421 oh! there was one of these big ones in a mall in Bellevue WA. I ended up spending like $20 to play the game once on each of the cars because I was so excited. the arcade was completly dead since it was a weekday evening

from what I hear it's been dismantled but the Initial D arcade machine featuring real sized cars and motion platforms is probably too big
