Title: Yet another name that game.
Post by: MajorHavoc 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

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.

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

Check it!

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.

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.
