I have a chance to pick one up this week, working in nice shape.

It's not one on my list, but I have room and I remember having fun playing it as a kid.
Those of you that have one, does it get a lot of play? Is it worth the real estate?

What are they worth?
 
i dont own one but i did have a chance to play one awhile back, and while its impressive for the time it was made, there is not alot of replay value in my opinion. the background never changes so its all about memorization. 3 or 4 games and i was bored with it. still, if the price is right and you have fond memories of it, i would say grab it up. i remember it being very popular back in the day, if its working and in the 3-400$ range i think that would be a good deal.
 
I believe the cockpit also offers better sound and with that magnifier plexi over the screen, it plays better than the upright IMHO. Get it but make sure you have LOTS OF ROOM. They may not be as big as an EDOT, but they're a fatty for sure.
 
2 Sold at the auction in LA. Don't know if they worked. They went pretty cheap.

Make sure the fresnel screen is not damaged..

if you move it, it probably will quit working..

I think mach 3 is the best of the laser disc games..
 
You should definitely get it. I can't tell you how much my wife enjoys walking past the Firefox with an armload of groceries. Cockpits really round out a home.
 
I wish I still had mine. I would jump at the chance to get another if I could find one local.
