ColecoGamer Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) While browsing Youtube last night, I came across something that I never knew existed - the Coin-Op Arcadia series. Apparently, these machines were a series of upright coin-op machines that contained expanded A500 motherboards that accepted up to eight smaller PCB game boards, which contained games. Think SNK's Neo-Geo MVS and you'll get the basic idea. Ninja Mission for the Arcadia looks incredible. The backgrounds animate; the sprites are larger; there's better sound; a faster-paced soundtrack; and a boss at the end of the game. Aaargh and other Masteronic/Arcadia games also appeared on the Coin-Op Arcadia with additional/improved visuals, better sound, etc. Just thought I'd share my findings with those that may not be fimiliar with the Coin-Op Arcadia. And those that are fimiliar with the system -- please chime in with what you know about it! Edited June 10, 2017 by ColecoGamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightbit Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 That's awesome. I am a big Ninja Mission fan. It was one of my favorite cross platform games. I was not aware of a coin op. Thanks for sharing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) You're welcome! I'm a big Ninja Mission fan, too. By the way: These games are compatible with WinUAE! From what I found, Arcadia released most of their games on the Coin--Op Arcadia. I found a few more during my search: Edited June 10, 2017 by ColecoGamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
