90's Lost Arcade Gem - PyroPirates?

Does anyone remember an old arcade cabinet called PyroPirates? I remember playing it once in a laundromat as a kid. Can't find it anywhere—not on MAME, not on eBay. The game had these awesome flame animations and was super tough! Would love to relive those days if anyone's got a line on it.

Omg, PyroPirates! I played that once at a cousin's birthday party in some sketchy arcade. Never saw it again but thought it was a blast. Good luck finding it, I'd love to see someone unearth that gem!

PyroPirates? Yeah, right next to my genuine Poltergeist pinball machine. lol. Sure it wasn't just a dream, buddy?

Hmm, PyroPirates rings a bell. Back in the 90s, a bunch of cabinets did a short production run and got scattered around random spots like laundromats and local diners instead of proper arcades. Maybe contact some arcade restoration experts? They might have leads on where these oddball games end up.

Just joined this sub and PyroPirates is actually the game that got me into collecting! Think it was made by a small dev team that folded soon after. It's my white whale, man. If I find two, I'm sending one your way!

Man, PyroPirates is a deep cut. Bet it was one of those cabinets that didn't survive the purge when fighting games took over the arcades. Have you tried checking European auction sites? Some of these old games ended up overseas and sometimes they pop up in the wildest places.

PyroPirates? Sounds like a Mandela Effect thing to me. Never heard of it, and I've played my fair share of obscure arcade titles. Are you sure you got the name right?

Hey, arcade aficionado here. PyroPirates is one of those ultra-rare cabinets that had a very limited distribution. Not surprised it's not on MAME, a lot of those obscure games never got dumped properly. Your best bet might be to reach out to private collectors or check obscure auction sites. Keep an eye on forums like KLOV (Killer List of Videogames) where collectors might lurk. Remember that verification is tough, so don't get your hopes up without solid proof.
