Lethal Enforcers from 1983!

[markronz]

Did you guys know that Lethal Enforcers was from 1983?   Way ahead of their time!

Or do you think Lethal Enforcers is a rip off of the 1983 classic Leathal Enforcers?

Well they're only off by 9 years

I've noticed that on CL.  I wish I cared more for the game, that's a good deal just for the guns.  There's a Speed Buggy that keeps getting posted for what I feel is way too much ($300), as well.  Maybe I'll lowball and see if he goes for it.

Cool, someone in my same area! 

I saw the buggy ad too but didn't know what it is exactly.  "Old school racing car game" doesn't mean much to me...

I had never heard of Speed Buggy until like 3 weeks ago when I picked up that free Outrun cabinet in Princeton.  Dude says, ". . . used some of the parts from the Outrun to fix my Speed Buggy."  TBH the game doesn't look very fun, definitely not $300 worth of fun.  Hopefully I will soon be announcing the Outrun project.

Yeah, $250 for a Lethal Enforcers is not bad.

I saw an Ikari Warriors the other day on craigslist that claimed "own a piece of history with the first arcade game to use joysticks"

At least it wasn't for Missile Command or Asteroids.

If it was "first with rotary joysticks" it would make more sense... But I can't really tell if Ikari Warriors was the first with that either.
It is at least the first game I played with rotarys controls...

Yeah, I was thinking they might be leaving out that word, but I'm not sure either if it was the first or not to use rotaries. Like you, it was the first one I played as well.

Best I can tell from the dates on KLOV (not always right, though) is that Ikari was the first rotary joystick game (1986) where all the others came out more around 87-89
