I don't know, but it looks damn cool whatever it is!

Does it have the disk still in it? If it does I'd find a way to back it up IMMEDIATELY! Is there a manufacturer name somewhere on it?

It is interesting.. I asked to see if its around here and if it can go to cax.. If the disc is missing, I would assume SOL.. If your extremely lucky, it only saved data to the disc..

just found out its not a flight game, but a m60 tank simulator.. no coin slots, so not really an arcade game. But very coo. I would love to see it working..

I think that is way dang cool, Ive been trying to search for something on it. I have found of course the old floppy disk top gun but not sure if it runs in there. Could it be a prototype game that some one built a cab around a game disk??? Very Interesting for sure.
 
I remember seeing something a year or two ago even with a few of these... They may have been a military trainer running off a master computer that controlled variables in the scenario. From what I remember the original person had gotten a bunch from Government surplus and was offing a couple or someone had see 'em and was asking what they were also. Hmm... all seems very vague to me now but I do remember that shape and the white plastic appearance of the cabinet, and something about surplus government simulators.

That thing would be really cool to see up and working with whatever its trying to simulate!

I always wondered about the police car chase version of Race Drivin' with the master computer that controlled the scenario's! How sweet could it be to have a Race Drivin' running the police game smashing through the city in a high speed chase. There is a video I saw of it way back it would be cool to find again... I wonder what ever happened to that unit running at the police training facility...?
