Star Wars Battle Pod

It's not far that the new Star Wars game I want to play is in an arcade cabinet and costs £1 a go! :(

Someone needs to convert this to PC!

£1 a go, that's been the price for those sort of arcade games for ages where you sit in them etc, not that I've played an arcade game in ages, I don't think there's anywhere near me that has them now, the local Sega park closed down years ago :(

Don't a lot of aracde game manufactures now use pc based components to keep the costs down, rather than custom design them like they used to do? Even so, it's more likely to get a console version than PC I guess though.

Yeah, times have changed so much since when we were kids. Back then the custom hardware of arcade machines was so far ahead of anything you got at home, now at best the arcade is equal, at worst it's behind.

I had one go on the Battle Pod at the pier in Sandown, it was fun, but £1 is a lot for something I could play at home. Maybe Bandai/Namco will bring it to the home when the arcade machines aren't making money for them anymore.
