    Default I might be going mad...but i want...

    ...a Sega Rally Championship arcade machine. the ones you used to find in the amusements. The one with the GT-four and the Lancia Delta racing through the mountains, forest and lakeside etc.

    I have looked everywhere and cannot seem to find one.

    Does anyone know where i could get an old one from, i know they are huge, but that aint a problem (i'll fit it in my flat somehow)

    A few years ago I tried to buy a 2 seater Daytona without success. The only arcade games I could find were crap ones you'd never want. I imagine there must be warehouses full of these things doing nothing.

    DAAAAAAAAYYYTONAAAAAAAAAA. Your right there has got to be a shed load of these machines stocked up somewhere. With me working in the waste industry, i have never seen any arcade machines being thrown out, just a few crappy old slot machines.

    Think we have a mission my friend.

    Have you tried contacting arcade park owners or the manufacturers? They may be able to point you in the right direction. I assume there's nowt on eBay?

    Patience. These things regularly turn up on ebay... and they tend to be cheap because they are soooo big.

    Dunno how handy you are with a screw driver... but you could easily build your own.

    Use this as your starting point
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KONAMI-RACIN-F...QQcmdZViewItem

    you could then either get two dirt cheap Sega Saturns, with two saturn wheels and two copies of sega rally (but I dunno if the saturn had console to console link?) oh and use two old big ass 4:3 TV's as replacement screens

    or

    the same idea using two old school PC's... with big ass CRT monitors that no-one wants+ force feedback steering wheels.

    or if you are flush with cash...

    the same idea with two modern PC's or two xbox 360s and the new sega rally game?


    I much prefer making something myself.... if only I had the room!
