I played this a couple of times in the midle of the 80ies.
You can move left and right and a bit up and down. - One background show the statues from the easterislands.- Also I remember those guys with hat and umbrella walking from one side to the other.

Maybe one can remember.

A little sketch.

Could it be Aquaventura? Are you *really* sure it was so early? mid-80s?

eckart,
wow what a great little sketch, you must be an artiste. (left the e on porpose)
So was it a Space Harrier type game? IS that what you could compare it with?

Thanks you two for the coop.

- and D for your compliment.- We should start a shmups screen painting contest.

But it isn`t Aquaventura and not a Space Harrier clone. The background don`t move. I think it is in yoko mode.

It must be during 1985 and 1987 I guess. The cab was set in a small friteshall. - It is now more than 20 years back, so it is very hard to remember.

Looks a bit like Burning Force.

I guess it might be Exerion.

Buck Rogers.

Or maybe the sequel to Buck Rogers (Buck Rogers in Planet of Zoom), which I always played under the name of "Zoom 909".

Though there's no moai heads on this game as far as I can remember.

I'd also say Exerion or Exerizer. Something tells me it's Jaleco.

If it looks like this then it is "Buck Rogers in planet of zoom"??

A game from SEGA in the '80.

Sorry friends, all not the game that I am searching for.

The playership looks a bit like the snowspeeder from star wars with other colors.

Ah, I just found it on Klov.- I remembered there was something with a number.

Anybody played also this game or know something about it.?

It also was manufactured by sega. It`s called repulse. And a bootleg version which called son of phoenix.

Wow, new one on me - that was a pretty accurate drawing then..

eckart · Post by **eckart** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 6:30 pm

Thanks!

Hope I will find a cheap board and it also will have a dipflipscreen option. This old pcb`s often have the wrong screenposition.- urgh

I guess the cool and new thing about this game was the third dimension.

I do remember going to this little retro arcade inside a video rental store in Fresno, CA back in January 1990 -- it had a Sega 1982 deluxe sit-down arcade cabinet of "Buck Rogers in Planet Zoom" -- USA Bios version. Very cool scaling graphics for it's time (all done by hand, of course).

It was even shown on the USA syndicated TV show of Starcade hosted by Geoff Edwards back in 1982-1983. Cool show for it's time. ^_~

Haha, I hear you on that. Although, I thinks it's that modern Arcade machines have the wrong screen position, not the old PCBs. Is there a special reason why new vertical cabs have the monitor rotated counter-clockwise where old ones are rotated clockwise? What year was it that they started making the change to counter-clockwise as default?

eckart · Post by **eckart** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 4:47 pm

Your right with that, but I don`t know the story behind this.

Bells & Whistles was my last pcb that have the "old" screen position.

If I remember correctly the namco museums 1 and 2 has this, too.

Anyway, I guess a flipswitch at the cabmonitor would be the best. I heard that this is no big deal for a technican.

The Last War'99 and Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom are both in my old Hi-Sc book. Alongside Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom is the note; "7xRound", but go easy on me, i was only 12

I used to play it in a newsagent shop after school and I thought it was great!
There's no score listed beside The Last War'99 and I only just remember it. Probably in the arcade for 2 weeks and never to be seen again. That's the weird thing about the arcade business, it was always about; install what's new and take out the 1 month old, regardless of how good the game was...

Regs, DEL
