I was watching Metal Mania the other day and "Heading out to the Highway" by Judas Priest came on. I've seen it before, but this time I admired their desert-like backround/backdrop a little more. I think it would be really cool to have something like that on one of the walls in my arcade; or the whole damn thing surrounding an arcade. I just like the looks of it. What do you guys think?

You don't have to watch the whole video, just the first minute...

Well I can't get the youtube video to play. But I'll bet it would be cool for a week or so. Desert-themed arcades never work long term. They make folks thirsty. Were the 'Gold Mine' arcades desert themed? With the cacti and sand and the burros and the churros and the sunsets etc? Maybe it would work. What would you call it?

Sorry guys if the vid isn't showing up...it should, I just rechecked the link and it comes up and plays for me.

It just seems the way they have it laid out it would be perfect for any driving games(of course) and also the old EM shooters or any other gun-type games(like my GunFight..ha ha). Its just SO 80's that you couldn't go wrong. Just my opinion. Phet, keep trying that link, it should play....

Hell I don't know what I'd call it. Maybe the Lost Highway Arcade or something.

It just keeps 'loading' I left it in another window for over 10 minutes and it never started playing. I hit play/pause/refresh/back/forward, etc. Nothing. Get me a screen shot when it looks coolest and I can comment more readily.
 
that would be pretty awesome kinda reminds me of the roadrunner cartoons. But if you get this you should get a life size Rob Halford cut out to put in there as well. The name of the arcade could be "Living After Midnight" :)
 
Ooooooooooh me likey. This WOULD be cool, like the frickin road to nowhere leads to Johnny's. Hope to be taking that road soon.


I really am in the middle of nowhere, no doubt. But in this little corner of bumf*ck Minnesota is a cool arcade. Dammit I gotta lean on Andre' to fix my GunFight, and finish up my Arctic Gun. Tonite I may do some sandblasting on some Sea Wolf parts....

I'm dripping.
 
Make sure you convert your Pole Position over to Freewheel Burning (lasers optional).
