That's rare? Dude, there's one at my arcade! I feel pretty awesome now! And considering it's an old, not very well maintained(though admittedly HUGE) arcade, the fact that it still WORKS, unlike half the games there, is pretty damn awesome.

I've never seen The Ocean Hunter on this side of the Pacific; only in some arcades in the Philippines. (Even their now-shitty arcades are still better than the U.S.'s, at least as far as variety goes; can't say the same for maintenance in less major arcades.)

I've been there and I recall seeing it once, can't believe it's still there.

Has anyone played Brave Firefighters? It's similar to gun games, except you put out fires (and save an idiot mayor).

There's one in Six Flags Great America, that's the one I played. Wikipedia has a list, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ocean_Hunter

Played both of these, actually. You'd be surprised at what arcades they could pop up at. The ones I tried were at Cedar Point.

You've been, Zee? You don't live near there, do you? I'd love to play some rail gun action with a fellow troper..

I kinda wish Sin And Punishment 2 had some sort of arcade motion cabinet version (complete with turning upside down for parts of Stages 1 and 4).

Too bad it wouldn't work well with the sidescroller parts, and Treasure would either have to butcher the game or make the player insert credits for each stage, as each stage is 15-20 minutes in length. 15-20 min * 7 stages = at least 2 hours = not something an arcade would want.
