Just curious if anyone here but me ever played this unique Sega arcade game.  Basically it was Afterburner, but in a cabinet that allowed full 360-degree movement (including upside down).  It was a blast.

 

I played it in an arcade in Gatlinburg, Tenn.  I read once that only four were made, and Michael Jackson owned one of them, but who knows if that's true.

I played one in Disney Land about 16 years ago and laughed my rearend off just spinning every which way for however long you could play.  That to me was one of the best videogame experiences I've ever had. 

 

Great post!  I'd love to get one of those.

 

The actual game was just okay but the whole spinning everywhich way dodging and shooting made for an awesome experience.

I highly doubt that there were only 4 of them, I played one in a local Aladdins Castle in a small mall in Northern NY in the middle of no where around 1992 or so, and KLOV members own 2 of the machines and they've never been cheap, nor easy to move.
