Used to play this all the time at a batting cage place, it's Namco's answer to Sega Rally. Apparently there was gonna be an N64 port, but it was canned.

Man, Lucky & Wild was fucking fun. The bowling alley near my neighborhood as a kid had it in their little arcade. My friends and I spent a ton of quarters on this machine!

I played this game at no less than three different arcades in my hometown, is it actually that uncommon?

I literally spit out my drink all over my monitor when I read that. Not even joking. I'm glad this is an old cheap piece of shit just incase it stops working.

But getting back to your comment, asia literally executes people for drug possession. They're BY FAR THE STRICTEST when it comes to drug laws.

Ok, I gotta check this out... Only arcade in the area I can think of is Nickelmania (I keep meaning to check to see what they've got, but never get around to it).

Gameworks was pretty cool for a while (I'd go to the one in Grapevine), but then they stopped getting new machines and the ones they had fell into disrepair. Sadly it was gutted and they put an aquarium in it, of all things.
