    Mario Kart Arcade GP

    I Never saw a topic on this fabulous arcade machine but its absolutely great. Mario Kart for the first time that I know of anyway, in the arcades. The game starts with your picture being taken, which is in fantastic resolution and when you go round driving against your competitors you see a massive scan of your face appear above the cart, which if you pull ridiculous faces makes for a very funny experience. As for the game? Very neat indeed, lacks perhaps in the frantic speed I was hoping for but then again the F ZERO AX cabinet is good for that. A very cool game, definately worth chucking in the coinage, although playing arcade games doesn't come cheap these days, £5
    went in 30 minutes

    There's one at a movie theater arcade in Miami. My wife and I play it whenever we go see a movie--it's pretty good, though a bit on the easy side.

    One of the funny features are a camera that takes a picture of you and puts a Mario hat and moustache on your face on screen hehe.

    I'd love to try the F-Zero one, I haven't been lucky enough to track one of those down.

    It is damn fun ... pricey, and too short. You should see how it distorts my big ass head to put in the game!

    We have one at Castles & Coasters.

    I have never seen this game... my local arcades are not that lucky...

    Damn it Shane, the more you pimp C&C the more I'd love to visit it. Too bad my wife doesn't really like the idea of me going to Arizona alone... and if she's tagging along she'd prefer to go to Orlando instead

    Some day though
