I loved that version when it came out when I was a kid. Sad most of them disappeared (and were converted into Asteroids machines). A buddy of mine has an original with blown-out X-Y drivers. I keep offering to help him repair it. I did recently get a 15" Electrohome vector display that would work with the original boards (but I don't _have_ a set of original boards). What I really need and don't have is the thrust controller. Can build one, but it's not at the top of the list of projects. I have played it many, many times in emulation (MAME), but I miss the real vectors and that thrust controller. There are also several versions for Commodore machines. Raster and chunky, but still flyable. Definitely a popular game framework right along with Star Trek. -ethan
