Welcome to a brand new thread called Arcade Marquee Showcase. This is where I show you, the members pictures of arcade marquees and maybe provide a little info about the said game and y'all are welcome to talk about it whether if you heard of it or not. All arcade marquees came from the MAME plus Kaillera arcade emulator and credit goes out to all the manufacturers past and present.  Game: Rampage Manufacturer: Bally/Midway Year: 1986 Players: Up to 3 Rampage, IMO is everyone favorite video arcade game where you play either George the Gorilla, Lizzie the Dinosaur or Ralph the Wolf by smashing and trashing buildings across the USA to score points. Food, drink and humans will help replenish your health in case you're running low. Vehicles of all sorts will also score you some points. In Rampage, there are a total of 768 days worth of destruction if you're lucky and strong enough to go through all those rounds. Once all the buildings are flattened, up to 3 monsters move on to the next city and so on. |

 Game: Root Beer Tapper Manufacturer: Bally/Midway Year: 1984 Players: 2 For the benefit of the family-friendly audience here at the Reboot, there are two versions: Tapper with the Budweiser logo and its "This Bud's for You" jingle playing during the game and there's Root Beer Tapper, a family-friendly version with a root beer theme. To keep it alcohol free for you and me, I uploaded the Root Beer Tapper marquee. In both versions, you play the roll of a bartender handing out drinks to bar patrons to score points. When the mugs are empty and the tips appear, points also being scored. When all the patrons are served, the round is completed and move on to the next round. The rounds in both versions will be a bit tougher to complete as the game goes on. However, if at anytime during the game the patrons coming closer to you without being served or an empty mug falls on the floor, you lose a 1-up. Lose three 1-ups and the game is over. |
