Could be. I've text my brother and he reckons it was Tekken World Cup and that it was around 1986 ish rather than 88-92 as he remembers being younger, but that brings nothing up on google but pictures of Tekken the fighting game.

Next question to narrow it down, did you have to scroll around the world to pick who you wanted to be?

Only thing holding me back from thinking its that game is that the cabinet was a different size and colouring to that. It was shorter, as kids we pulled up wicker chairs in the bar and played it sat down, it was coffee table sized.

Ahhh, wicker chairs, it's how games were meant to be played. Kids these days don't know they're born. I used to play on my speccy on a wicker chair, which my dad had painted in white emulsion for some reason.

This is my major issue with HD gaming. As a kid, I had to play on a tiny screen. It was only after much begging and pleading when my dad bought a new TV for downstairs could I get a "downstairs telly" to play my games on.
