Title: Arcade cabinet identification?
Post by: Epyx on September 23, 2009, 11:13:08 am

Local craigslist has a reference to a game from 1972 called Sonic Fighter:

Has a picture of the bezel...was this a mechanical game? Anyone know?

I have looked on KLOV but couldn't find it.

Thanks...too bad there is no screenshot...really curious what it looks like. I love the flyer advert though "Screaming into air to air combat, sound of jets and machine gun fire" lol

Well, it's not a video game, so a screen shot would be tough, but I get what you mean.

Exactly, better put as "a picture showing what the player would have seen" ;)

No worries Ginsu...at least you found some flyers which were entertaining morning coffee reads!

I think i played this at bells in tulsa a long time ago, I seem to remember it almost like a projector inside with 2 pics of clouds & jets going two different directions.  When you hit one you would get a red jagged picture for the explosion pretty neat for the time i would love to have in my game room

Ya that sounds pretty good for the time. Amazing the ingenuity if you think about it for the decade in question.
