Is this the one where you stood on a round base, with a railing all
the way around at about waist height and you then put on goggles and
had a "gun"? Typically they seemed to be setup to play "Teradactiles
Revenge" <sp>, but once I got to play one where it was a sort of
dungeon crawl (in fact that was the last time I ever saw one in the
mid-90's). The one I'm thinking of was Amiga driven, but might be
different.
