Yep...in Joypolis Japan, http://tokyo-joypolis.com/attraction/2nd/transformers.html


I'm not sure if back in the day the R-360 was a considered a "video game" but rather a "theme park attraction", but in todays arcade enviorment it seems to be more of a theme park attraction.

That gives me a bit of hope - that's a bit of the old SEGA there . G-Loc 360 was an amazing game and I still remember fondly having the shoot down record in Hamleys on the game when I played it :)

G-Loc was also playable on a standard cab.

How many games were playable in the R360? I know G-Loc and Strike Fighter, and Rad Mobile and Wing War were cancelled I think?

Spunning off their theme park division hopefully gives it more growth to try interresting ambitious cabinets. Not sure how that market is doing worldwide . Does the West have "indoor" theme parks anywhere?

G Lock was pants in the standard cab and so boring imo . In the R360 it was an amazing experience and laugh . Remember all us boys playing the game in Blackpool on a stag due and one of the boys being sick after he came off it lol .
