Most definitely Sega Eliminator.
How this vector gem slipped through the cracks I'll never know.

I discovered ZEKTOR, a similar arcade as an unlockable in the PS2 Sega Genesis Collection.
Though small scale, the PSP version has an unlockable your ELIMINATOR Arcade game.

Hey thanks I'll check those out
Used to play Omega Race all the time, I didn't see Ripoff much back in the day much the same for all the Cinematronic vector games

My favorite was Spacewars, played that monster brand new at local Circle K "Quikie Mart." If only I knew back then the value rarity, woulda loved to have bought that machine when it was removed, maybe still there? A small fortune to relocate that behemoth, a wishful dream.xxstatic wrote:Hey thanks I'll check those outCRTGAMER wrote: Love all the Vector fly the spaceships arcade games!

Spacewars is another I never saw back in the day, but speaking of Omega Race I just picked up an Omega Race upright, it's non working of course and it need some help, The PS is in bit's, the pcb had the nicad battery still on it (leaking all over), and the monitor needs a deflection pcb to start, the cab is in pretty good shape other than missing the back door, I'll slowly get this back together if I can get the pcb repaired or replaced....CRTGAMER wrote: My favorite was Spacewars, played that monster brand new at local Circle K "Quikie Mart."

Just finished an Asteroids Deluxe so the timing is perfect....

Night Striker. Never saw it anywhere except one arcade around the area when I was growing up. The one that was in that arcade was a full sit down cabinet and it was so much fun. Great Taito After Burner-ish clone.
