i think the lettering on this marquee is realy cool and it looked familiar.
but i had a vague recollection of this game so i KLOVed it.
so seeing it and the screen shots i remember i used to LOVE this game when i
was a kid. for the life of me i can't rememeber how it played though.
there's a joystick, spinner and 1 button.

joystick moves your guy.. spinner aims.. button says 'grenade / tank'
how did you fire? seems like you'd need 3 hands for this game.

anyone in NJ near me (07737) have one of these i can come over and play?
haha.

I believe you push down on the spinner.

I think you push the spinner. Yes you need 3 hands. I'm trying to figure
out a jamma adaptor for it now. If I wire the spinner to a second joystick
it will be impossible to shoot w/o button joysticks. I thought of wiring
fire to pushing the second stick but diagonals would be a problem. I think
I'm going to wire the spinner to joystick 1 and see what happens, it will
take the fun out of it though.
