Halflife 2 Coming to an Arcade Nowhere Near You

Posted by Zonk on from the use-the-dance-pad-mr.-freeman dept.

Phill Proud writes "Arcade board manufacturer Taito is set to begin sales of an arcade version of Halflife 2, including a multiplayer mode, in the Summer of 2005 (Japan) "Taito will develop an arcade version for their original "Type X" circuit board. The Type X is an arcade game circuit board running Windows XP Embedded that can use the Windows game development environment. The arcade game will be a customised version of the Windows software and will allow 3 game modes - a "Story mode" for single-player play, a "Battle mode" for players country-wide to compete in real-time and a "Mission mode" for players to collaborate tactically.""

    It's been a long time since I have been to an arcade. Do they still have Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, or Pole Posistion at them? Maybe the original Star Wars game?
