Not worthy of a whole new topic but doesn't really belong anywhere else so...

FYI - a somewhat interesting update to the Barrier arcade game post. I read that it was originally intended to be just a programming exercise for one of their junior programmers and he was instructed to convert the handheld Mattel Football game into an arcade game so the similarity was no coincidence.  Then they bamboozled the Vectorbeam dudes into buying it. I updated the post with an account from Tim Skelly.

Ever seen one of those machines in real life?

nope - so ironically one of the most worthless arcade games I've ever played actually registers fairly high on my to-see list.

Kind of like seeing a copy of Custer's Revenge. I know it's terrible but so rare and infamous it would be interesting to see.

I'd say the odds of seeing that one are pretty slim since you've now visited some of the larger arcades around and it wasn't there. Maybe it will surface at an arcade show.
