EX TILT Full Throttle.

Hardly used as the Tilt audience just didn't take to this game.

It has no PH warranty, remains of Heighway mfrs warranty. Has the backbox screen upgrade.

£4250 or will trade with something decent I can put in Tilt in its place.

Had a play on this in Tilt today. I can confirm it looked good as new.

Shame it's not sticking around there a bit longer, although I am excited to see what takes its spot in the lineup.
 
Not sure why it doesn't click with people. I play it at Tilt all the time, so will be sad to see it go. Its super-fast flowing for a widebody, and has some challenging shots to make.
 
Got to be honest, I love it as well. Just a shame it's hidden away downstairs
 
took nothing upstairs, taking nothing downstairs. bye bye!

GB Premium arriving tomorrow, GB Pro moving downstairs.
 
I quite enjoyed it when I have played it. Shame I ain't got the cash.
 
Have played FT a few times now and have always liked how it plays, if it was a Grand Prix themed game I'd buy this with no problem, sadly am just not into bikes at all. Is a cheaper option if someone wanted this and an Alien kit!

You can't just put the alien kit in this, needs a new cpu as well. :/

GB premium going to be at Tilt?
Need to visit again if that is the case!
 
GB looks like a coin gobbler. my ball times at NLP lock in were terrible and it wasn't just tiredness and pizza as next up on Hobbit I was high score 3 (but don't still know HOW!

After Circe bit the dust I suggested the fast nature lent itself to a racing theme. I suggested Xtreme Racin: road & track. That's why I put a dirty great X ramp in...

Maybe someday Heighway will do a retheme and resell (I have no inside info, just speculating).
 
They should be given FREE CPU upgrades! Wasn't one of the major selling points of this game that you could use the cabinet for future HP games? And you can't even play the NEXT game without seriously upgrading? Ridiculous!
 
I did often wonder why they chose the ARM chip over Intel/AMD.

Unit cost would be way cheaper, and also potentially much more reliable for an embedded system.

They way under-specced it though, so would have had to change anyway .... and designing / buying a much more powerful ARM setup for low volume probably wouldn't result in much in the way of cost savings.

I am surprised they didn't use one of the cheap AMD APUs ... their GPUs are vastly better ... but then, while Intel's video drivers for Windows are dire, they're better than AMD or NVIDIA for Linux, so that may have been a factor.

It was a rhetorical question pal, i work in IT ;)

Ah is it running on a cut down version of windows?

Still Linux AFAIK.

Further, I think everything modern except BoP 2.0 uses Linux ... and that only uses Windows because of PINMAME for 1.0.
