What an awesome read. I’d like to do this when the time is right down the road with the time crisis series.

I think time crisis 2 or 3 had the pistol controller attached to a tube and there was a noise making mechanism (or the slide actually moved) that activated when you fired. I’d love to get each one of those cabinets for 1, 2, and 3.

The way I remember it, Time Crisis had a slide that moved. It emulated the kick of a real firearm - albeit poorly, but as a teenager I had no idea otherwise.

I think all the Time Crisis games should have the moving slide. They might have been replaced as some turd wrecked it but they should have come with the moving slide.

Really want a Crisis Zone cabinet.

I swear the pistol did slide. Also the stepping plate was genius: by default the character would cover, and you hd to physically step down on the plate like a pedal to go out of cover and shoot.
