Outrun Deluxe Arcade Cabinet at Four Quarters Elephant and Castle (Left Route)

I paid a visit to Laaaaahndaaaan earlier in the week, specifically to engage in a bit of retail therapy (there was a Robosen Transformers pop up event at Harrods I wanted to see) and to check out a couple of arcades whilst I was up there.
One of these was the arcade bar Four Quarters Elephant and Castle specifically because I'd heard they had one of these bad boys there! An Outrun Deluxe moving mechanical cabinet. I haven't played on one of these since the late 1980's. I haven't so much as even played on an Outrun stand-up cabinet in gawd knows how long, so this was a real treat to play! And, oh man, this was so much fun!
There was also an Outrun 2 SP twin cabinet right next to it, which was sadly out of action (although it was actually receiving a bit of TLC whilst I was there, so hopefully they'll get it back up and running again soon). Fortunately though, I've actually quite recently(ish) encountered a 4 player Outrun 2 SP setup in my home city:
• Outrun 2 SP - Real Arc...
• Outrun 2 SP - Real Arc...
So of all the things to not be working, I'm glad it wasn't the OG Outrun Deluxe cabinet.
Ahhhhh, what a game!

Love how Sega tried to make their games like mini amusement rides, I certainly prefer that to bling bling neon lights we have on arcade cabinets today.

I like how the collectors are now putting their machines back into service.

Damn that's a nice machine. Did I see Outrun 2 next to it as well? Guess I'm paying a visit to E&C when I next come to London! Good stuff MT.

Yup! Unfortunately the OutRun 2 was out of action, but it was being worked on whilst I was there.

Nice! They used to have this at Four Quarters Hackney Wick and noticed a while back it had gone. Amazing it’s just been moved! (I was slightly gutted!)

Yeah, there's an upright Daytona USA in the Bristol branch, someone was saying in the comments in the video I made on it, that it originally started off in one of the London Four Quarters.

Love your arcade videos. Is the camera strapped to your chest or something?

@MrThunderwing Ай бұрын

It's a combination of regular phone footage and a little USB camera that plugs into the phone and I clip on to my glasses, for some hands free POV footage.

oh boy I only live a few mile away. I'll have to try that place out :-) What other games did they have???

I've got a video all about it I'm going to release mid next week.

Out RunもOutRun2も両方できるのはすごいけど、OutRun2は稼働してないのが惜しい。

Indeed! it would've been nice if the OutRun 2 was working too. Fortunately, I got to play on an Outrun 2 SP cabinet quite recently in my home city. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qN-dn6Wrl6m4k2Q.html
