Yes, Midway’s only vector game.

Nice purchase Sparky. It is, in my opinion, one of the best vector games ever created. Extremely addictive.

I have the cockpit version in my garagecade. It’s one of those simplistic games I can play for an extremely long period without getting bored. Of course there’s the nostalgia factor, as I was completely hooked on the Commodore Vic-20 version back in 1980 (a very good port with smooth gameplay considering the computer’s specs).

Keep us informed !

:no Definitely a keeper! For the moment at least. It’s the game I play the most when the garagecade is turned on.

Maybe a trade for your Dragon’s Lair… :D

Cool!

I'm trying to get an OR cockpit working right now myself.... got it all working except the PCB, what a mess...

Note that the power supply looks like MCR but it's not - it's slightly different - it only creates 5V and 12V, thats it, no sense signal, etc. So its even easier to put in a switcher if you want to bypass all that power gear in there. Check out:

Also if you haven't seen it yet check out Bill's replacement OR spinner hardware:

Good Luck
