Disney looking for retro arcade! Thought I would share

Fixit Felix jr?

 

Looks like they are trying to find a working arcade machine for a movie they are producing, which is very much based on this game.

EDIT: I take that back, this game never did really exist. :biggrin-new:

 

Any working version? Does it matter if I produce the PCB in my garage and program the EPROMs tonight?

 

Ah if only it was a real arcade game from 1982, which it is not.

 

Yea I just realized that. So many arcade games I thought perhaps it was real, but then when I looked in my book, it doesn't actually exist, lol..

So it's a mockup cabinet then.. I think this is an advertisement, as the game shows a kid playing it and the main antagonist is missing from the game. Maybe that's what's inferred here, the game is broken cause the character is missing.

 

Nice viral marketing. If only there'd still people going into actual arcades to look at it

 

sorry about that!\ didnt know it was viral marketing

 

It is very good viral marketing though. Normally viral marketing is some stupid crap aimed at the thick shits of the world.

 

Shhhhtt..... I'm still wearing my authentic ENCOM security pass everyday in case I encounter a website that requires group 7 access.

 

heheh, yeah, if the web has taught us anything it's that there seems to be more idiots on the planet than normal people.　Especially those who comment on the likes of YouTube.

 

Speaking of which, how did I miss this when it was new? http://www.arcadeaid.com/challengingstage/quiz.htm There are some seriously obscure games in there...

 

That movie is going to be awesome!!!
I'm surprised they got the license to have a Bowser-esque character!

 

And by Bowser-esque character you mean...uh, Bowser? :excitement:

 

it would be kinda of interesting if Disney actually seeded out working cabinets to a bunch of hole in the wall locations

 

and robotnik and kano and bison? lol XD awesomeness.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they actually had some working versions of the game *shrugs* maybe?
would def be cool to see it sitting somewhere though XD

 

they did make some working cabinets, they wired the controls up to an internal pc with an LCD + screen filter to simulate scanlines

 

The zombie is from House of the Dead?

 

Missed that as well. Nice! Got up to 76.

 

I think so. There's also Altered Beast final boss. There also a monster that looks like Shuma Gorath and the yellow robot seems to be from Cyborg Justice.

Also saw a glimpse of Paperboy at 1:49 on the trailer.

Still, Clyde as the meeting chairman makes me laugh every single time. Specially because of his accent.

 

lol is that a malboro? (final fantasy)
btw the game is pretty fun XD
