I've seen those at various cons, but never actually checked what game was in them.

I wish I could remember what else was at that expo because I'm pretty sure Time Traveler was one of the least hosed up things they were showcasing, it was just filled with weird early 90s attempts at VR. I don't even remember why we would have gotten tickets for something like that. i try to Google it whenever this comes up but "virtual reality expo" is too generic a name and the only other thing I know is that it was sponsored by coca cola

I played Time Traveler at some random mini golf place. Threw a dollar into it and died in under a minute. It was a QTE type of game but I don’t think it ever indicated what button or direction you were supposed to press when it beeped.

yeah, the wizard yells what button you were supposed to press when you die but the levels are randomized so even that's not very helpful

according to wikipedia, the full game is 10 minutes because of how quickly you usually die lmao

this doesn't help a lot in a noisy arcade where I can't hear the wizard for poo poo but can hear "X-X-X-X-MEN. X-MEN!" blaring from across the room.

grabbing one of the gators and holding him in place while i whale on him with the mallet for yelling "NOW I'M ANGRY!" over the arcade cabinet's advice on how to survive for longer than 15 seconds

the minigolf course got rid of The Grid, The Simpsons, Alien 3, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and Star Wars Racer for a row of these machines and what really burns me is it was probably the right move financially because the local anime kids just poured money into those motherfuckers

My firends brother built a sick mame cabinet that also had an xbox 360 hooked up to it and we (me friend, his bro) would play mp beatem ups for days on end like gamer heaven. We would also play the WWE game that was out at the time and always do ladder matches. Even though my friend and his brother normally wouldnt get along, they would spend 20 minutes taking turns to beat the poo poo out of my wrestling oaf while I begged them to let me at least stand up until one of them got bored and ascended the ladder while the other was distracted doing flying headbutts into my avatar's nuts. I probably will never have that much fun in my life again.

As of like 2018 there was a McD’s in some little town between Houston and New Orleans (Jennings, LA maybe?) that still had the GameCube/Pikman setup. I played it for a good 30 minutes; it owned
