Keeping an eye on the coin-op gaming scene
What is the cost difference between licensing a movie property at the very height of its powers versus when its sheen has faded somewhat? That question may have been tossed around Sega’s coin-op division a few times recently, with its Mission Impossible cabinet now followed up by a
Men In Black lightgun game.
Using a ‘Tri-Barrel Plasma Gun’ mounted on the machine – with support for a co-op partner by your side – the action sees you taking down aliens across locations recognisable from the movie series. As a redemption game, it’s not the most sophisticated experience to have ever emerged from Sega’s labs, but if you’re on the hunt for tickets, it’s a lot more entertaining than
Big Bass Wheel and its ilk.
