MORE FACTS ABOUT THE ‘FONZ’
Everything we miss about the old world. EVERYTHING! Well, the only two things – SEGA hardware and acceptable corporate sexism. Can someone who lives in America see what’s left at 2550 Santa Fe Avenue, please? Thanks.

Whatever was at 2550 Santa Fe Ave has been raided. The Police are still outside.

Checked on Google Street view to see what’s at 2550 Santa Fe Ave and unfortunately the van didn’t drive down that road. However, if you stand on a nearby street and look in the right direction you can get an idea of what it might look like. http://tinyurl.com/cuxsts (BTW look how close TinyURL got to saying ‘cunts’.

That’s the best update in months. Well Done to all concerned!

oooh, that's more impressive than google maps – http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=2550+Santa+Fe+Ave,+Redondo+Beach,+Los+Angeles,+California+90278&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=36.368578,62.929687&ie=UTF8&cd=9&geocode=Fd8bBQIdDejx-A&split=0&ll=33.889922,-118.364221&spn=0.001164,0.00192&t=h&z=19&iwloc=A
Unfortunately, streetview doesn't cover that street :(
Have to say, those're some impressive specs for that game, mind
"Both road and bikes are seen in true perspective so that objects nearest the bottom of the screen are larger than those on the horizon" and playtime is variable between 45 and 100 seconds?
Wow. How could things have ever got better than that?
Also, having never ridden a motorbike, can anyone confirm that the "Handlebars function identically to those of a real motocycle"? I.e. that they vibrate when you collide with another bike?

Oooh, well done anonymous, I tried streetview from the freeway turnoff to no avail…
Other anonymous – are you Mistercrayon from the edge forums by any chance? If so, this is not lolcats.

The trouble is Susie’s picture was taken back in ’76, which means under the hot pants she’s got a vagina hairier than a woolly mammoth in winter.

I like hairy muff.
Can we have some erotic Susie and boss fanfiction please, Zorg? I’d write my own but I lack creativity.

Why can none of the Egg Monroe imitators ever get it quite right?
And did nobody have the heart to tell SEGA that he was called “THE Fonz”?

@Anonymous, three posts up:
Thank you for doing a proper egg monroe comment. The first person to do it in these comments totally fucked it up (punctuation? pah)
May 6th, 2009 on 9:38 pm
Anyone else want an Egg Monroe tshirt?
May 6th, 2009 on 9:58 pm
“Scoring with FONZ is beautifully simple” woof woof.

If you somehow manage to hit the arcade cabinet in just the right sweet spot in the manner of The Fonz, would you successfully enable Free Play?

And before any Greer-baiters out there say it; no, I’m sure the ‘Free Play’ technique doesn’t work on chicks.

Depends on where you hit them, how hard and where you stand morally on necrophilia.

TV’s hottest name!? Surely they forget Michael Barrymore. Shame on you Sega. That said I would not like to see what kind of attachment they would replace the handlebar controller with on Barrymores machine.

I guess SEGA jumped the shark a lot earlier than we originally thought!
Hahahahah… jumped the shark….
May 6th, 2009 on 11:28 pm
In todays climate would’nt the fonz, a guy in his 30’s+ constantly making out with teen-age girls be considered a serial paedafile?And then you had sega’s michael jackson moonwalker, can you see a pattern emerging whats next sega’s gary glitter south east asian sex-romp tour?

The company at that address is now apparently –
AZTEC TECHNOLOGY CORP is in the Metal Shipping Barrels, Drums, Kegs, and Pails industry in VISTA, CA. This company currently has approximately 20 to 50 employees and annual sales of $10,000,000 to $24,999,999.

Having collided with another vehicle while riding a motorbike, I can tell you that the handlebars do indeed vibrate. They vibrate very, very briefly. Then things go dark.
Actually, and I know that nobody really cares, but in that game you turn the handlebars right to turn right, whereas on a real bike once you get up to speed you turn right by leaning right and turning the handlebars slightly left. So no, not exactly Manx TT realism here.

May 7th, 2009 on 11:57 am

That’s it, I’m starting a Fitzroy Grindcore band called Egg Monroe.
May 7th, 2009 on 5:48 pm
Would (can’t believe no-one’s done this before). Oh, and Susie can join in too…

This Egg Monroe business is joyfully mysterious and meaningless.
May 8th, 2009 on 11:35 am
I’ve still got my RIP tshirt. I’m marginally less inclined to wear it nowadays as people in RL (and who I suspect don’t read UKR) seem to think that PS3’s not doing too badly these days and come to the conclusion that the joke is on me.
Cunts.
