Galloping Ghost arcade featured on Collector's Call show

Post by PC Engine Fan X! »

On the latest show of Collector's Call with host Lisa Welch (of which she portrays the character, Blair, in the early 1980s TV sitcom show "The Facts of Life"), she has a video camera crew tagging along with her checking out the world-famous Galloping Ghost arcade. I didn't know that they have a 100% working Sega R-360 motion cabinet hosted there (circa 1991) playing the classic Sega G-LOC game in all it's glory/splendor. They also have an ultra-rare "wooden" based Williams' Blaster running the 30-stage prototype version (circa 1983) -- it's well known that Williams only manufactured a mere 500 Blaster arcade cabs in it's entirety. Quite a cool CC episode with an 8-11-2024 airdate indeed.

they just announced their 1000th game and I'll be heading there this weekend to celebrate a buddies bday, pretty stoked to check out all the new stuff they've added on the floor. even though it's quite a drive from Chicago, it's definitely worth going if you're ever in the area visiting, even just to check out the rarities.

we've had a few shmupmeets in one of their backrooms coordinated by beatsgo after dr. boom moved, but those faded after a few years probably due to the considerable effort.
