Love the artwork on that Spacian! When I was a kid I used to play the heck out of NARC, that was the coolest game to me when that came out.. especially when you are driving the Porsche... for the 5 seconds until you crash it
Charlie, Thanks for giving it a look though. Super Baseball Double Play is just another version of World Series that has the home run Derby. For 3-4 yeara Cinematronics kept shopwing up to trade shows with basically the same game with a few new functions. It was a big kit game. Looking forward to getting hands on this and putting it back in shape. Ill start looking for a CPO now.
@@overtimearcade Yep. You will see versions called Strike Zone, Double Play, World Series, and just Baseball. All the same game with slightly different rosters and the Home Run Derby feature added. It also was one of the first to be able to carry your stats with you. Arcades sold "Stat Keys" and you could plug them into some of these machines and carry it from place to place.
I haven't seen Space Tactics since it was at a tavern called The Snakepit (try the rocky mountain oysters!) over here in Northern Idaho. It was a 3D perspective Space Invaders clone. Not as "cloney" as Spacian though lol. Love your channel man, going to start going through your archives and see if you have any other arcade machines I forgot about. I had a friend who owned a bowling alley who had a cocktail Donkey Kong that I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not buying.
oh that cockpit space tactics is awesome! I love picking up cabs for mates too. I feel I kinda get the hype and high of picking them up , inspecting them and then "owning them" for a couple of weeks before I pass them on
I played Space Tactics the other week at Arcade Club, Bury, UK, it's a weird perspective 3D Space Invaders variant, great idea and visuals but not a great game. Got to love the artwork on the Spacian, and that cute little counter-top.
Yep, this was high on Tayllor's wishlist and he was able to get a great deal on it when the seller eventually lowered the asking price. I'm sure he'll do a great job restoring it back to its original glory!
@@overtimearcade hopefully. It's way beyond me with the space that I have, the parts needed, and skills I possess. I'm glad it went to someone who is going to try to fix it instead of getting thrown away
@@overtimearcade I remember my dad walking in on me playing this on my Nintendo and being all mad that we were killing people. Then I explained they where drug dealers and he suddenly wanted to play it with me 😂
@@overtimearcade once before on KLOV. I may try Facebook. On FB I actually got lucky asking for a gun for a “Chiller” that I’m making from a Cheyenne by Exidy. Before that, I was having a hell of a time finding one as the top half was missing. This stuff is out there, I know
@@overtimearcade I asked once on KLOV, but no response. I’ll try Facebook. I was able to find a rare gun for an Exidy shooter game that I was missing for my Chiller by just asking for one on the groups. I know this stuff is out there, somewhere

The Spacian artwork is absurdly beautiful! And my 10yo son played NARC for all of 5 mins before he got bored and walked away! 😭

Oh cool, so the home run derby was like a bonus mode they added later? Basically pre-internet DLC -- fun!

What did those "stat keys" look like? Were they little CMOS thumb-drives or something? 😅
@@overtimearcade Yeah, kind of like that. Just a little square chunk of plastic with a few pins coming out the end.

Same here! You get to experience all of the thrills of picking up a new game, without having to pay for it or make space for it long-term!
Love the art on that Spacian!
It’s really something, ain’t it?
I remember NARC being a big game here in the UK and was still doing well right through until 1992
It’s an accurate portrayal of everyday life in a typical American city. 🤣

I've never played Space Tactics myself, but I'm hoping Tayllor/Dillweed is able to get this one up & running for me to be able to try it out!
Just subscribed. I played Narc at my local arcade in Poughkeepsie NY it was called Just Fun
Very cool! I was born about 90 mins from Poughkeepsie! Thanks for the sub!
Hold bat in position to highlight team in green while hitting A button to start. Maybe?
Oh, interesting! Yeah, that makes sense!
I need that Narc machine that was a great game...I need 1 stand up in my house....Final fight would be awesome too
Why stop at just one! Who needs furniture?
we were looking at that space tactics as well, it looked beat to hell from what I've seen. cool pickup though

My kids do think it's cool to sit inside the cockpit while we wait for Tayllor to pick it up!
Oh wow! NARC was my favorite when I was around 10.
It should have been a core part of the D.A.R.E. curriculum!

Keeping kids off drvgs and scumbags in the morgue!

That Spacian is beautiful!
Gorgeous cabinet art, but they forgot to decorate the control panel! 🤣
@@overtimearcade I probably would have been too much and too distracting. I like the simple control panel.
All the greats leave their masterpieces unfinished!
Sob u might be the #1 dad
I mean, I'm literally drinking out of a coffee mug at this very moment that says "Father You're the Best."
A Timber from Kinder! 😂
You’re a poet and you don’t know it!
hey charlie!
HEY ANGELINA!!
NARC = GOAT
NARC = picked up by Beltmann before this video was released and currently en route to Missouri!
NARC! ❤
It’s already on a truck headed for Missouri! 😭
You’ve really outdone yourself!! What-a-friend !!!
What can I say? I like having people in my debt! 😅
perfect!!!
Thanks! Too bad none of these are for me! 😭
...Why do I feel like you haven't washed that shirt since you bought it?
I bought a DOZEN of them!!!
🤣 you spelt "Bootlegged" wrong. @@overtimearcade
@Chancekj I didn’t even get the friends & family discount!
Really? those bastards. I mean, it's bad enough they are bootlegging the merch, but to not give you a break on it... disgracefull.
I got ripped off!
I’m desperately looking for a Universal Cosmic Alien arcade from 1979. Know anyone that has one?
