Reading through this, with a little work I could probably rebuild the thing myself. The software would need to be replaced 100% but with a few retrofits the hardware and machinery could be restored to full working order. In fact, Rocket Racers seems similar to a battle-tech center, so the hardware and machinery already exists for a full retrofit.

Actually, SEGA, in collaboration with Nintendo, released an arcade game in 2004 called F-Zero AX, with one of the cabinet versions being their ultra-ride hydraulic actuating arcade unit, so there's room for improvement if it wasn't already hydraulically actuated.

I always loved Rocket Racers, this really is tragic D':

On a separate note, I see you mentioned LEGO Adventures Magazine. Would you be able to explain it to me? You see, I've been curious about the magazine ever since this Brickshelf folder surfaced back in 2010. For the most part I was unable to translate it, so I was happy to find through Bricklink that the magazine wasn't exclusive to Russia. Unfortunately, the magazine seems to be rather scarce online, and so it is still largely a mystery to me.

I have a load of issues of that magazine, if you're still interested I could make another thread with more stuff about the magazine some time.

That would be great! Like I said, it would be great to be able to know more about the original English magazines, as right now I've only got a few comics translated from the Russian issues.
