In Codona's Amusement Park in Aberdeen in the late 90s, there was a Ridge Racer "cabinet" with three massive rear projection screens and an ACTUAL REAL MAZDA MX5 TO SIT IN.
WHAAAAAAAAAT
Seriously insane levels of money-no-object zero-fucks-given design.
- threetonesun 9mo agoThis is painful to me on three levels: 1. Real estate costs have gone up so much it’s prohibitively expensive to do something this grand. 2. Advertising is now a race to the bottom where showing car ads on websites has almost zero cost with all return compared to something novel like this. 3. It’s impossible to find a car like a 90s Miata these days because manual transmissions are almost dead and every car had to get heavier to have enough safety features to survive being T-boned by a Cybertruck.
- kipchak 9mo agoAgree on the rest, but thankfully for #3 a modern base ND Miata with the 1.5 is pretty close to in weight to a NA due to a lot of weight saving work by Mazda.
- jonplackett 9mo agoI remember our arcade having one of these too! But I never had enough money to use it - and probably was too short anyway
