Yet another name that game.
« on: January 08, 2008, 09:11:24 pm »
My memory is kind of fuzzy but as I recall, the game in question was a sit down shooter laser disc game.  The game had a large footprint as the players seat was in a gimballed affair which allowed limited motion of the seat as you chased after the bad guys.  I want to think that I saw it in the mid 80's. 

TIA

Can you remember a little more about the cabinet?
Were the guns on cords, or attached?
Was there driving involved?

Your mention of sitting, shooting, and chasing bad guys leads me to think it might have been Lucky & Wild.
That wasn't a laser disk game, and I can't remember if the seat moved, though.

You aren't thinking of M.A.C.H.3 are you?

They might have had a version with a motion base, but KLOV only shows a sit-down.

Was it Astron Belt?
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

I bet you are talking about Sega's G-Lok. There were 3 versions, normal upright, sit down and a deluxe sitdown version called the R-360.

Check it!

Astron Belt is a possibility judging by the screen shots I found but the cab is all wrong.  The game I played was on a circular platform roughly 3 feet high and 6 feet or so in diameter.  Kind of like sittting in a a large tractor tire lying flat on the gound with a monitor between your feet/legs.

Never seen that. Maybe it was a prototype that never got widely distributed.

Sega's Galaxy Force kinda fits your description but was NOT laserdisc.

Anyone know someone thru here or klov that has an R360. It is pretty much guaranteed that someone has one.

That could be it.... I recalled the thing being a bit broader and don't remember the roll cage affair (after all it was 20 years ago and only saw it once).

Thanks for all the input.
