I don't normally 'do' arcades anymore, what with the whole only being a year and a bit off 40 years old now, but on a recent trip to the cinema, having a bit of time to kill, I had a quick look in the arcade of a nearby bowling alley and found one of these bad boys.

Now, this is literally the first ever time I've played this game and I managed to completely fuck up the final section where you have to shoot the torpedo in the exhaust port (I was so caught up in the game I wasn't paying attention to the little aiming cursor) so please don't bother with any 'LOL you suck' type comments. I'm already aware of that...

The game itself is pretty awesome in terms of how immersive it feels with it's huge spherical screen. At £2 a pop though, for what amounted to about 3 and half minutes gameplay, it's pretty extortionate. I'm not sure if I'd completed the stage whether I would have got the option to continue to the next without having to insert more money, but I expect probably not.

I would love to see this converted to home systems, It would be ideal for the PS Move. Unfortunately, I can't see that happening anytime soon, I suspect this is one of those games that's destined to remain in the arcade forever, like H2Overdrive or Chase HQ 2
