Have a buddy looking to find a machine he remembers playing back somewhere around 1984-85. It’s got me stumped. This is what he remembers:
- “temple run” type theme
- inserts in a circle in the center, down near the flippers that filled in as you progressed
- heartbeat sound during gameplay
Any help?
Right. That was my first thought. But he remembers a “circle” on the play field with inserts inside it that lit up as you progressed. That’s not Gorgar.
He says the heartbeat was kinda like a drum beat. Went along with the temple run type theme. Sounds very Indiana Jones like. But way earlier.
Quoted from snyper2099:Ummm, El Dorado City of gold?
Nope. He swears there was a circle with inserts down near the flippers.
Quoted from Darcy:The Machine, Bride of Pinbot.
Yeah, hit him with that too. No go. Temple or treasure hunt theme.
Says that the “heartbeat” was really probably drums beating, and it got louder and faster as you progressed. I am totally stumped.
Quoted from gambit3113:He says not City of Gold
I’d say he’s wrong. Haha
Anyway. What about big game? Not a circle of lights per se, but they light up as you go along, and there are drums.
It could be Raven. Jungle themed, made in 1986, and has a circle of lights that rotates around the bottom of the flippers. Background sound is drum heavy, and could easily be misheard as a heartbeat in a busy arcade.
Quoted from RCA1:It's Grand Lizard.
Drumbeat sound, circle of bonus inserts that advance, and the art package is all lost temple.
Also a great game.
Nice! I think we got a winner.
