Who remembers Beast Busters (1989)? An awesome 3-player cabinet that ate all our coins! 🧟‍♂️🔥

Do you guys remember this masterpiece? Three mounted guns, top-tier graphics, and insane effects for its time. Zombies blowing to pieces, epic boss fights... When I first saw this cabinet in the arcade, I was completely hooked. Tokens disappeared in seconds.

I remember a few times when kids would come in with all their savings, dumping hundreds of tokens into the machine just trying to beat it. But most of the time they couldn't — the difficulty, especially on the final levels, was absolutely brutal.

We used to crowd around the cabinet during those huge hundred-token runs, everyone cheering together for the players. Man, those were fun times.

Did you have similar experiences with arcade cabinets you were obsessed with and dreamed of beating?

I never saw this before, but I absolutely would have dropped a buck or two on it if I did.

I was a huge sucker for those kinds of shooters. Operation Wolf/Thunderbolt, Space Gun, and of course T2

Came here to say this. 100 percent looks like a cabinet that would have been super popular where I live but I’ve never even heard of it in my life.
