Super Locomotive

A ten minute video of the legendary 1982, arcade console game "Super Locomotive" from SEGA.

This clip was recorded onto DVD from a Dell Inspiron 8200 (Pentium 4), running MAMEUI.FX.. in Windows XP - SP3..

This is definitely not my best performance, possibly because it was being recorded, but I have tried to demonstrate most of the common 'moves' and control actions... The YouTube 10 minute limit spoils the overall effect. This game ran on for a further 20 minutes before I ran out luck.. I used to be good at this game when it was originally in the arcades.!

My appologies for the rather poor video quality - I have no idea what went wrong there.. When viewed on the computer screen "live" the images are perfectly clear and sharp..

MAME = Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, and supports many of the classic arcade games from the 1970's to the 1990's. It is free to download via the internet, as are the game ROMS, and if you are in to retro arcade games, it is the perfect place to start.. MAME has its own cult following, with serious gamers building their own arcade consoles from scratch, and incorporating a Windows PC and monitor. You can actually purchase MAME specific control panels via eBay and various games websites. The completed consoles are very authentic, and again, video clips are available here on YouTube, in the 'How To' section, showing how to build your own..

The Iconic theme music is "Rydeen", by The Yellow Magic Orchestra, originally from Japan.. The Original "live" performance of Rydeen can also be found here on YouTube, and is well worth a look, as is the later live performance by the YMO on a clip from "The Yellow Magic Show", also available on YouTube.!

I just didn't know which came first, or if it was made for this specifically.

I dont know if the song was made for the game, but it's super fitting for some reason lol.

i truly was the daddy on this game in my town and arcade for sheet mileage. i could stay on it for hours but my scores were spoiled when someone realised if you just stopped under a tunnel you could rack up heaps of train kills and then get 10s oof thousands on the bonus screen without having to clear too many levels to get a massive score. But i was the King!
