Thread: Rare Taito game: Vertexer

  1. Rare Taito game: Vertexer



    This is Vertexer, a Taito racer on the IDYA motion cabinet system. Sure looks like it inspired F-Zero's sequels. The BGM is by Rayforce's Tamayo Kawamoto- love it. What if Nintendo gave up making consoles after SNES and produced an F-Zero title for the Saturn? Probably something like this.

    Looks alright, but it hasn't gotten MAMEd yet. OTOH, Shou does have a boardset of this.

    Off-topic for a moment- Power Drift Communication System (a link play version) is dumped thanks to Shou, but MAME team are having some trouble getting it going.

  2. Wow, this is awesome. I've never heard of it. The sound is great, even from a low-quality feed.

    I would love to play this. It does look like Power Drift except more surreal.

  4. Mega Race in SPACE!

  5. I'm borrowing a set of this very very rare game for dumping. From what I gather, 20 PCBs were made, I know of 4 in the hands of collectors in Japan.

    The hardware seems like it is the same as Galactic Storm.
