Except there's no old wave...

@CODmagazine There never will be anyone that admits to it, either. Being labeled 'Old Wave' in music is tantamount to telling the world that you have a bad case of the Ebola virus, and that you're about to sneeze....

@GroggyGrognard Let's all go OLD WAVE.

Or, let's go all Old Wave.

Holographics, not holograms. Still awesome, though! I'm guessing these were way expensive to make and they weren't big money-makers in arcades.

The reason was the only thing interesting was the novel holographics technology.

The play control sucked, and was brutally unforgiving and limited (Another movie game Dragon's Lair was easy by comparison - which was nigh on impossible and frustrating...)

That and a revolution in fighting games was taking place around the same time.

The gawk factor was much greater than the play factor.

@Down10 - as a kid, i didn't know the difference between holographics and holograms and didn't really care. it's close enough to a hologram to get my motor running.

@XYLENE - ...b-b-but...holograms! :(

I played the hell out of this game, as a kid, after a round of Mad Doc McGree in the arcades back when they existed.

I used to play this at the Powerhouse in The Flats in Cleveland, OH. $1 was a lot to spend on a game back then.

@Dollinger I'd give a dollar to play Golden Ax now.
