Jesus, what was wrong with the US? We had them in the UK, last one I saw was in an arcade on a Haven holiday park about a year ago.
>what was wrong with the US?
poverty
I've played them in NA. They're great but didn't see them at many places.
Galloping Ghost has one of these in Illinois in the USA.

Stop being entitled.
These cabinets are pushing 40 YEARS old. Do you see many cars from the 1980s on the road anymore?
Sega only gave them a 1 year warranty when they were released in the 1980s. And you could only get spare parts for a few years before Sega stopped making them. Then you were out of luck.
If you still have a functional After Burner motion arcade cabinet, then consider yourself extremely lucky. 95% of them in the world have been retired, a few sold to collectors, or scrapped completely.

Underagers getting phones was a mistake
Nice projection.
leave, homosexuals
America is fricking huge dude. There could be more of these cabinets in a single state in the US than all the UK and most people would never see them because how many people will regularly go to an arcade outside a 20 mile radius?
Also kek how you sperg out one post in before people even mention their stories of having seen them in the US.

Yes. In private collections probably.
Sorry to say that the first things to disappear are the massive deluxe cabinets. They are massive, hard to move, and are the first things to break down. Usually when the operator can't find official replacement parts, then they just sell it or scrap it. After Burner cabs were thrown out. I personally used to know a guy who rolled one into a scrap collector dumpster 20 years ago. The Deluxe Cabinet motion broke down, he couldn't get replacement parts anymore from Sega, and the cabinet wasnt earning any money anymore so it wasn't worth the extra money to repair it or find an replacement part elsewhere. So he called us a scrap dumpster. They set it down behind his business. Then he rolled the cabinet 40 feet into the dumpster and that was it. Now multiple that same story thousands of times across the world. Only a small few survive today.
In the 90s and early 2000s, it was the absolute best time to be an arcade cabinet collector. The general public didn't give a crap about arcade cabinets and focused on consoles. All the arcades were closing down and selling their arcade cabs for pennies on the dollar. I'm talking Neo Geos and Sega cabs for $100 to $200 dollars each. Arcade just wanted them gone. For someone to just take it off their hands.
They were all thrown away because they cost more to maintain that they could bring in.

It's been a long time since I've seen one out and functional, maybe 25 - 30 years ago.
This. People were always abusing the machines and thought it was funny to destroy/break them. The tech used to get so angry.
>Or do I have to go to Japan to play one
Wouldn't it be easier to google?
Using Google is absolutely easier than traveling to Japan, why did you even bother asking that?
>why did you even bother asking that?
Anon was clearly too moronic to have considered it
>zoomie can't google
Many such cases.
>use google
If you fools don't know then just don't respond. A generic Google search doesn't give specific answers to questions about OP's cabinet locations.
>be fool who doesn't know
>respond saying fools who don't know shouldn't respond

The literal state

What a generic response. You don't know anything do you
>i don't know how to google

The literal literal state.
If you can't get good results, try searching Google again with a different query.

Galloping Ghost has one in pretty good condition
Is it still set up proper? I played in it with the motion controls once, and it was sick, but the last few times I went I don't recall it even being out. They'd moved shit around a lot since they added that third large side room a couple (few?) years ago
They had the huge moving Space Harrier machine out once too, that was absolutely sick to play on
I was at Galloping Ghost a few weeks ago and the game is playable but the motion controls don't work at all
Google doesn't tell shit about what games are in what arcades, usually it gives you some outdated information from ten years ago
>I was at Galloping Ghost a few weeks ago and the game is playable but the motion controls don't work at all
IIRC They said in a live stream they purposely disabled motion feedback on the After Burner cabinet due to space, safety, and maintenance concerns. All repairs and maintenance are done on the arcade floor itself. Except when they need to fix a CRT screen or do major repair work. Then they have a separate workshop. The After Burner Deluxe Cabinet is so big that it's hard to move around.
Their long term plan is to move the After Burner cabinet into a larger room where there's more space for players, and they have more room to do repairs.
They recently did the same thing with their Sega R360 and Galaxy Force motion cabinets. They moved both those machines to another bigger room and turned motion back on.
BTW did you get a chance to play their Sega R360?
The ones I know of are Galloping Ghost, Clarkade in Ohio, Skyon Tower near Niagra Falls, and... there's another in one of the northwest flyover states somewhere, but I forget where.
I would argue Arcades could still make a comeback in todays environment with the way real estate is going.
>Do any arcades in North America have these deluxe rotating Sega cabinets?
A handful still do.
-Galloping Ghost Arcade near Chicago.
-Funspot in New Hampshire
-And only like 1 or 2 other places
>Or do I have to go to Japan to play one
Good luck with that. Most of the Deluxe after Burner machines have been retired too. Only a few arcades have them and some of them aren't working properly.
Bro I hate to tell you this, but these arcade deluxe machines are ANTIQUES.
It's BEYOND retro at this point.
I keep expecting to see someone writing software to connect emulated Afterburner to one of those racing/flight sim motion platforms but it doesn't seem like anyone's done it yet
Best I can do is pic related
>for when you nut but she keep suckin
If you want to make a true version... That would require access to the original boards. The After Burner deluxe cabinet had a controller board that communicated between the game and the motors that controlled motion. Analyze how the controller board handles the inputs and signals from the game.
Otherwise you would just have to make a custom version and "guess" how the game handles motion.
E.g. "Controller moves left 40% = moves user to left 40%"
Then just fine tune it to your preferences. It wouldn't be authentic to how Sega programmed it, but it's functional.

Says a Deluxe Cab is in Chuck E Cheese in Tennessee. Prob best to call before you make a trip though just in case. You can click around and check the other locations too I am just pointing out the first one I seen.
Seems extremely weird for a single adult to show up to Chuck E Cheese, pay the entrance fee, and just play one cabinet.
Yea there's no way it still works if its even there. Chuckee cheese is full of minorities running around causing havoc
That's After Burner CLIMAX, the sequel from the 00s. Which I've run into a Chuck E Cheese a few times before.
I'm not finding it in your search link. I get 0 results for Tennessee.
Can you share the name of the arcade? I can't see where in Tennessee they have a classic After Burner cabinet.
Here's the thing about Zenius: It fricking sucks unless you're trying to find a rhythm game. A lot of games don't have standard/deluxe separated, it's not kept up to date in a lot of areas, and the vast majority of people updating it only care about rhythm games so they'll only fill in the rhythm games and nothing else.
There used to be a site called Aurcade that was better for more general arcade game locations, but Galloping Ghost bought it and decided to let it die instead of modernizing it. So now we just use Zenius because none of the alternatives have gotten off the ground.

Actually Aurcade has made a surprising comeback in recent months. I was surprised at some of the results being modern. The "last updated" tab now says 2023 and 2024 for a lot of arcade business search results.
Apparently Galloping Ghost's Owner Doc Mack has said his team is making more of an effort to clean up and update the website. They also encourage users to register an account and add new arcades. It's not perfect but it's not dead anymore.

This was the only wienerpit version I could find listed and it is right across the border into Canada. Best I could do.
No, anon. They had YEARS to promote it, but they didn't. Finally remembering the site does things besides save scores after letting it die for almost decade isn't going to revive it.
Not that anon but doesn't that site rely on user submitted content? Is it really their fault if users stopped posting or submitting new info?
