Arcade Game Question
#288135 - 05/29/12 05:12 AM


I remember circa the late 80s/early 90s going to the arcades in Denver and they had a motorcycle race game with up to four players--biggest cabinet setup I've ever seen. I was thinking it was Suzuka 8 Hours, but upon looking at the online documentation, this was limited to two players.

Is the documentation wrong? Or am I thinking of another game?

Wikipedia says 8, Arcade Museum says 2. I'm going to go with Wikipedia here because I remember seeing an 8-player setup of it at one point.

Possible both are true — could have had up to two players per unit with the possibility of linking multiple units to create 4-, 8- and maybe even 12-player setups.

That's my guess, so I'm just going to rephrase to this:

Two players per cab, four cabs linked max for a total of eight.

This is true.
