Guys, I am so excited, been looking for about 2 years to land a couple Hydro Thunders for a fair price and finally got them in an running last night about 11:30pm. Now I have a War, Mortal Kombat III, and Primal Rage that do not have a home but we got up extra early so the kids could play before school!

You're still a kid:) Hydro thunder did rock. I used to play it during lunch when I was working at a datacenter near
a mall.

Wife, 32. Stepson, 14. Stepdaughter, 6. Grew up real fast when that happened. Anyway, Hydro Thunder and Area 51 were my favorites when I was a young'n...or younger'n...
 
Nice pickup! Great sitdown driver. The first time I played this was at the Midway offices in San Diego years before they shut down. My oldest brother worked there as a tester and then a web guy before getting laid off. It was sitting in one of their break rooms or hallways. I can't quite remember as I was just a "kid" back then. Maybe 14 or 15? :D

First time I played it was at hotel about 6 years ago when I was traveling for work and fell in love with it. I am not a big race game fan...but hydro is pimp. I am a big pinhead, so I have to keep the arcade fresh, and of course the kids love it.

Right now I am switching from all the fighters i have to more retro games and a variety, got my golden tee, my hydro thunders, an asteroids, NFL Blitz, now need Tempest missile command, donkey king, and Ms Pac.

First time I played it was when I worked at the Dave & Busters corporate offices. We would go to the store behind HQ for lunch and we played this game almost everyday! We had all the secret passages down as well as the countdown boost.

I will definitely have a pair in my collection, someday. At the last Auction, they had a stand up, and as cool as it seemed, I think I have to have the sit down driver!
