I played one at Funspot in Laconia, NH a few years back. The cabinet
was interesting, it was a sit-down unit with a clear plastic hemisphere
that kind of went over the back of your head, like one of those beauty
salon hairdryers. The speakers on the cabinet were aimed up into the
dish, which focused the sound at your head. Standing next to the
machine, you could barely hear the sound. Sitting in the seat, the
sound was plenty loud and gave you sort of a pseudo-surround effect.
That and the cabinet's big screen added a lot to what was a pretty
lackluster PC game.
