Is there an Atari Cops image for Dexter now? I still have a Dexter set aside for mine, but the image was never made as far as I know.
Cops is #11 on the Dexter disc list..
You will have to check with Matt for availability.

I did, several times. Unless it's been made in the last couple years, it was never available.You will have to check with Matt for availability.
Despite how complicated Star Rider hardware seems, it's fairly easy to make sense of just because of how it's broken down into several boards. SRs were also mostly parted out, so it was always fairly easy to dig up boards inexpensively. I've had a few of them and the boards themselves rarely ever had issues, but the power supplies were always burned up and [obviously] the players would usually need attention. The throttle twist-grip has a spring sealed inside it which often breaks, but that won't keep you from playing it correctly.You would end up with a nonworking decor
A few times?? Lucky bastard, lol.That's the crux of owning one back then. I had a few times I was able to get my hands on a upright. Of course not working, I didn't know anybody back then circa early '90s that worked on them.
There is no comparison for me. Firefox, to me, is a far superior game. Mach III just feels less interactive than Firefox. When you destroy an enemy in Firefox, it quickly switches tracks, branching a little as needed, and feels seamless. In Mach III, destroying a target doesn't affect the underlying laserdisc footage in any way, it just places a fire sprite over the target. For whatever reason, this feels "cheaper" to me. Plus, Firefox knocked it out of the park with the music and variety of levels with the "choose your own path" features. I've given Mach III multiple shots. I've always found myself disappointed.Curious... I know you're a big fan of Firefox, who does it compare to MACH III for you? Played a Firefox machine at Showbizz Pizza by me - never could get into. The former I was a fan of though - did see more MACH III's in the wild more than Firefox which might attribute to my opinion
I mean, even though I've never seen one in person... Firefox had one awesome looking cockpit, complete with a 25" monitor. I bet that would be awesome to play.Mach 3 has to be experienced in a cockpit to fully appreciate the game. The take off sequence and sound doesn't have the same effect on the upright. It's very realistic and you feel it rumble through the seat. It was a marvel in technology when it was released at the time but the amazement & attraction was the cockpit version. The flying & bombing sequences, the realism through the large screen prism overlay gave a 19" monitor the illusion to appear like it was 50 inches or more when most games had 19" crt's at the time and it had a realistic feeling of being in the plane and in the skies, this was one of the first if not the first that people noticed. The cabinet was extremely solid too, well built by Gottlieb/Mylstar.
For sure. I have my Firefox set to LOUD. Whenever the attract comes up it's very audible in the arcade. The music is a major jam when playing too. Especially the "rock/metal" version of the main theme that you'll get on one of the last sets of missions on the 9000 mile mode.Firefox, I vote for best attract mode: 'You'll be flying the most sophisticated warship on the face of this earth. Where is it? Russia. You've got to steal it'! It really captures the '80's style movie type of scores that inspires.
I would love to have a legit Mad Dog McGree.Mad Dog McCree for me without a doubt, I didn't know about Dragon's Lair or Space Ace when Mad Dog was released being born in '82 and compared to my 8bit computer and console this was mind blowing!
That was the thing for me, I could never rob Paul to save Peter even back then. I had my chance to gut a Narc for the med. res. monitor - couldn't do it. I don't know what Star Rider #'s are but I can't believe that much, sitdown probably far less. I was a lucky... I did see a few SR machines bitd- I also live in the Chicagoland area.I did, several times. Unless it's been made in the last couple years, it was never available.

These days you just install a switching power supply, replace all the IDC board power connectors, install a Dexter and you'll have a reliable game.
SR, M3 & FF are probably the "best" LD games other than the games that only use an LDP for backgrounds, like Cube Quest, Interstellar and the 2 Theater6 games.
I think I have a Star Rider laserdisc.This is just going to turn into a 'list all the laser games' thread. Because everyone has their opinion, and there really is no consensus on which games were 'best'. It's very subjective.
I'd have to nominate one of my not-yet-acquired grails: Star Rider. I'd love to own one someday. Williams. Laser. Oddball LD player. Python Anghelo animation. This game is way underrated.
Star Rider Sit down
I have a Star Rider sit down that is complete except original laser disc player. I have the disc but the player is long gone. All the plastics are in great shape as well. From what I can tell it has all the same serial numbers on all the boards. I recently got it working (1 rom error) with...forums.arcade-museum.com
Runner-up nominee: Casino Strip. I unironically would love to find one of these someday.
Yeah, I made a COPS image for Dexter back on Aug 2018. I can't recall anyone ever wanting it except for Galloping Ghost.I did, several times. Unless it's been made in the last couple years, it was never available.

Awesome! I asked you guys about it many times on IRC and asked Kinder to bug you guys about it several times since then as there was no movement on an imag, so I just gave up at the time. I PM'd you about getting the image, since I have an otherwise working machine and a Dexter set aside for it. Thankfully I had one 1450 that worked well, but the shelf of 1450s with issues doesn't inspire confidence in long-term reliability.Yeah, I made a COPS image for Dexter back on Aug 2018.

<zaphX> HE COULD BE YOU <Warren_O> They probably paid that guy in beerI actually like Goal To Go... and I'm probably one of the only people to say that. Haha.
I'd love to have one of those machines someday.
