The Elusive Beastie Boys Arcade Game If things had been different in 1992, you could have been guiding Adrock, MCA or Mike D around the screen at your local video arcade. A game was actually made by the Kaneko Company where you and two friends could control each of the Beasties as they travel through different platform style levels. A prototype cabinet was made using the 'Check Your Head' logo on one side and a white picture of the Beastie Boys on the other. The control panel had each of the Beastie's names next to each joystick. A CD player inside the cabinet plays tracks from "Paul's Boutique" and "Check Your Head" and as expected any swearing is beeped out.
The different levels consisted of:When all these levels are complete you win the RIAA Award and it all starts again. [AstroBBoy: maybe they should just go and visit 9th Beastie's house - he has a stack of their awards].
- Dodging eggs being thrown at them for 30 seconds
- Standing on a giant moving turntable while avoiding "The Turntable King"
- Get their microphones back
- Get their instruments back
- Get back to PJ's for their live performance
The game was never released as it never received licensing from the Beastie Boys or Grand Royal.
