like distinctly remember putting a dollar in and then to buy a license, I think it was an additional dollar, but you'll obviously, I had to buy the one and you got like 50 races out of it. But yeah, I don't think anything in Tampolines was more pinball. No, pinball was, wasn't either just, you know, just initially. So we mentioned kind of the configuration of this.

And then you had the passenger seat who also has a gun America. Yeah. And you mentioned there's a couple of different ways to play this. And that was true. Like everybody kind of had their preference. You could, you know, have a driver who just drove, and then you have the passenger taking over their gun, guns akimbo style, and using both of them, you had, you know, the traditional way where the driver both drove and shot, you know, as we do America. And then the pastor had their gun and then you had the threesome

I genuinely want to know what the budget for, um, BMWs by the villains in this game was, because there is, they're, they're like candy. Oh, well, this taps into my theory about BMW drivers. Kinda. Hey, I'm on board. Every, every, I know it's stereotyping, but I've never found anything to break the stereotype. Audis are worse now, but yes. Kinda. They're starting to overtake. ...

... So we get the high speed vehicle chase, we get the shoot outs, lucky and wild soon becomes a hybrid of that park shooter, park driver. But even crazier, since most of the multiplayer gameplay is balanced and somewhat symmetrical in arcade games, this is completely unbalanced, completely unsymmetrical because you have one player that gets to both shoot and drive. But it got even crazier. ...

No, they, they let some kids test this and Emilio. Oh, okay. Nevermind. We got to, we got to mount these things so they can't touch them. It's yeah. Yeah.

but you're not necessarily knowing where it came from, what the origin was. And when people trace that origin back, you're like, well, that was never the inspiration. It was just kind of like, that's what a buddy cop movie is. Uh, but really, you know, that's the kind of stuff that, that made it happen. But since this is a first person driver shooter, you're not going to see the characters, right? You know, that was part of it.

Lucky & Wild - Episode 153 · 00:21:07 - 00:21:54 · about Assault

Yeah. So the hardware is neat on this. So it's, it runs the, the baseboard is a Namco system too, which like, there's a lot of games that run on that hardware. We've had a couple. So like, you had an assault cabinet for a while. So that's the same kind of baseboard. Some other ones are like Cosmo gang golly ghosts. We've talked about that before, uh, Metal Hawk, Steel Gunner. But what's unique about this game, um, there's actually a couple there's final lap, uh, four tracks, Suzuka eight hours is another pretty common one.

Yeah Portal was very successful in Japan. You know and I do have a couple of comments as far as like viability outside of Japan. The reason why they put this together. Japan is very, when it comes to arcade games, very you know trend hopping. If they could successfully make Starcraft an arcade game when Starcraft 2 was popular, I'm sure they would have. And it would have just absolutely tore through every single arcade ever. Case in point, there's a there's a game called Mission Craft that was released in like 2000. It's a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up where this Korean company took art assets from Starcraft, the original Starcraft, and essentially made a shoot-em-up game out of it.

So instead of having to capture the doctor again each time, which even once you, I'll just mention once you collect all three keys from that last room, you have to make it to the exit within a certain amount of time or the villain on the first one will escape or the villain will capture your bride.
