VOOT

ok, no excuses... VOOT has been in for a while and I neglected to post about it.

Here are pics!












The game is fantastic and way deeper than I had thought. I've had the Saturn and the Dreamcast versions of Virtual On, but never had the proper controller. You REALLY need the proper controller for this game, it makes all the difference!

The path to getting this game was BRUTAL. Took forever to find, took forever to get the cash sorted out, finally got it only to find that it would not work on the New Astro City cab. That was a shock. After piles of troubleshooting it appeared that I needed a dedicated Naomi cabinet.... which is pictured above. That was a whole other story. This thing is HEAVY, not as bad as the Neo Geo but it almost killed Ted and I as we moved it (thanks for your help Ted!)

Any way, it's in and it's glorious! Just in time for the game to be released on XBLA... but it's not the same dammit! True arcade or nothing! (as much as possible)

Oh yeah, and this kid tried to run me over.

XBLA VOOT actually turned out quite well, and many of us are using modded Dreamcast and Saturn Twin Sticks with great success. Oh, and the online netcode is exceptional.

You should join us!
