Hi guys,

Yeah this thread is abit late (or way early) depends how ya look at it. Are there any games that have never made an appearance at CAX in the times you've gone?

Someone mentioned Afterburner Deluxe has never made it... If I ever go, I would bring it, provided someone helps me with safe transport to and back.

We already had a Sundance and I personally brought Asteroids Deluxe, when the show was in San Jose, at the old outdoor mall on Winchester and Stevens Creek.
 
I've only gone for 2 years now, but have never, ever, seen a Computer Space in person, and would like to play one...
 
Ah heh. No I was referring to the Asteroids Deluxe Atariscott said he to CAX. Afterburner Deluxe is a full motion Sega game from 1987 where you take control of an F15 jet fighter, top gun style. Its about the size of a mini cooper. One of Sega's greatest achievements, imo. I'm sure there are plenty of youtube vids of it floating around if interested in seeing what it is.

It actually says Afterburner Deluxe. I'm not sure what that is though.
 
yes, afterburner has been there, but its been probably 10+ years..

A wack a mole might have been there back when cax was at playland..

I am sure there are 1,000's of games that have not been.. I think a better question is what games local collectors have that have never been to cax.. I can't think of any dedicated game I own, that has not been. Maybe a few pcbs I have like macross 1 and 2, un squadrun, and asterix and obelix.

You started going a year too late. I think there were two of them at the 13th show.

If there is a game that anyone really wants to see there, try to buy it before next summer and bring it to the show. I was able to find a Stunt Cycle a couple weeks before the show this year (thanks again Tom), and it was a lot of fun to watch people play a game that was only a pleasant memory to them.

I wonder how many Tron LE pins will be there next year now that about half the members here have one. :)
 
interesting.. Is Asteroids Deluxe a rare bird at CAX? Great underrated title btw.

We have had AD at the show pretty much every year that I can remember, often in multiple forms. This year, the full-sized upright died on Saturday unfortunately, but I'm pretty sure we had both a cabaret and a cocktail on the floor.

And of course AD was available via the multikit in my Asteroids which was there :) .

Every year we try to have some games on hand that have never been there before. Of course, if you're out there and you have a game you haven't seen there, the obvious solution is to bring it next year :D .
