Can you play Choplifter with the FF yoke? Fascinating. :)

Here's a BIG pic for you to prove it's FireFox. LOL

A converted FF is worth much less than a dedicated/complete/working FF.
Though many would argue the contrary. LOL :D

Choplifter: Choplifter (Sega) - Upright conversions $250-$350. Craiglist/Ebay.
FireFox: Firefox - Upright dedicated game $1500+-. Collector price/ebay price.

(prices based on controversial Exidy Guide)

Neither price is relevant here for a converted FF made into a Choplifter. IMHO

Convert it back ... that would be very expensive.
Add a DEXTER to the game instead of the laserdisc player.
Still need the FF boardset.

Thanks for the info. What would you say a fair offer would be?

What do you plan on doing with the cabinet?
Keep as Choplifter?
Convert it back? (resell the choplifter miscellaneous to cover cost)
Convert it to something else?
Make it into an I,Robot?
Flip it ...?

You and others may disagree, but I think the intent matters in relation to what you pay. :cool:

^^^ this. IMO, this is a game I wouldn't even bother with. I just don't care for laser disc games AT ALL. And all the headaches that go along with laser disc games. Ugh.
 
The crazy thing is this isn't the first Firefox I have seen converted to a Choplifter
 
Unique Underated Game!!!

there are some collectors that would die for this game. personally - i think its a really cool oddity as far as arcades go - 1st arcade game to use live action video footage - 1st game to have an external headphone jack and volume. Clint Eastwood's digitized voice and some pretty phenomenal high speed land/aerial game play. Not to mention a fantastic symphonic score by composer, Jeff Gusman. if you can nab it for cheep, i recommend doing so as with tech available today you can easily get it going without the 22VP931 laserdisc player and you wont need to beg Doug Jefferys to fix your player like i did 10 years ago. :) there's a market for the game if you decide to sell. ive personally sold 2 units for 2500-3000 each. that said, they were in exceptional condition running on all original parts, including the LDP.

Just like to pause for a moment and reflect on the awesome 80s picture AD. I know personally that when I'm combat ready and geared up to take on the ruskies in my stolen Russian Firefox, I make sure that I breath only quality air that comes from my groin area. This is why I make sure my oxygen supply hose is connected directly to my junk that's been stewing in a flight suit for the past several hours lol.
 
well and then there was this.....Thought about bringing it back but decided on other things.

Oh, please sell it to someone whom will restore it. Not too many Firefox left.

I believe that it doesn't really matter what someone will or won't pay, or how much someone does or doesn't like the game, It really only matters that it's a very uncommon game, and should be restored. At least from the viewpoint of this forum anyway. So I agree 100% with Scott C. on this.

:D

Choplifer? Is that like chopliver? :D

I've added this (and the Golden Axe) to the HELLCADE.

Thanks for your contributions!

I do have to say, nice job on the Golden Axe sideart. At least they tried to make it look good...

:D
