the arcade game Firefox

It was unusual being a laserdisc graphics on film background . Oddly compelling and VERY rare (even back in the day) to see one in working order. As it's a game unlikely to be experienced any time soon even by emulation this could/sould/would be a fine cab to feature

I understand it can be emulated in DAPHNE. I saw someone offering a set of DAPHNE files (vid, frame, etc) and Firefox was listed.

A feature on more obsure Laser Disk games would be welcomed though - I'm sure to some people LD = Dragon's Lair & Space Ace.

I have spoken to the main chap behind this for a Making Of but unfortunately got turned down... shame as it was an interesting game, and Atari's only laser-disc title.. I remember playing the sit-down cab in an arcade in Pembroke way back in the eighties.

We had a Firefox sit down cab at the Holiday Inn arcade at Aberdeen beach. Loved it.

Oddly, we never had Dragon's Lair so I've never seen that one in the flesh.

You're kidding! I thought the DL cab were everywhere in the 80! Not a great game , but a great cab , and guaranteed to be surrounded by avid onlookers back in the day

It might also be worth contributors noting people who've passed on interviews, so hopes aren't drummed up too much. For example, don't bother asking for making-ofs on River Raid, Hunter's Moon or Citadel (C64), 'cause they ain't gonna happen.

Maybe it depends how much you pay him?

Is the firefox game based on the Clint Eastwood movie?

Its that time again where I ask for a Driver feature - It is still my fav PS1 game and even though most of the sequels suck, its old enough, cool enough and has been released on a few other retro platforms.

Ok then, seeing as how we are re, re ,reiterating.

I like to ask for features on Warp, Oddworld Inhabitants, and all the Gabriel Knight series of games?
