RE: Rip Off

I know nothing technically about the Cinematronics (only two are known to
exist in Australia and both are Space Wars) but...

>From playing it 20 years ago in the arcade it was THE MOST FUN game I used
to play. And quite frankly I'd sell my soul for one (If I hadn't sold it for
the Ice Cold Beer).

Much better as a two player game, but still a heck of a hard and fast game
as one player.

Playing it on the street in George Street Sydney, we used to be doubled over
laughing as we tried to work together to protect the triangles and ended up
blasting each other to bits.

And the thump thump thump sound track is really neat.

Cheers
MacMan
