Don't remember that one too well. Was it based on the Clint Eastwood film ?

Was very good at Space Invaders, Defender, Scramble, Gorf, Galxians, Missile Command etc. Didn't get to grip with Pac Man or Donkey Kong, though. Great days. You could make 10p last two hours.

Yeah, based on the film. Loved the film and it rolled over to the game for me. Very atmospheric and emersive game in the sit down cab, as it was fully contained and you felt like you were in a cockpit with all the sounds and visuals. Well it did for me as a young lad.
