MAME ROW #147 - Ultra Balloon
-
Unfortunately I didn't get much chance to play anything, as I was accompanied by my 5 year old son for the first time, and he was more interested in the merchandise in the trade hall - picking up a Golden Mario and a bunch of Star Wars figures.
They always have a stand-up Star Wars machine there, which is my favourite one - I have great nostalgic memories of playing that in wet October holidays on our annual trip to visit my grandparents.
Apparently they also had the sit-down version of the Star Wars cab this year, but I didn't see it.
I think the vector graphics still look pretty good and haven't really aged as much as some of the other technology around at the time.
They had quite a few sit-down cabs this time actually, which was new, and a bunch of Candy cabs as well.
My favourite one to see, if perhaps not to play, was an ancient old Video Pinball one they had a couple of years back.
