Why? I never understood why Dragon's Lair might be fun. The directional pushes just seem like guesswork to me.

It was the first laser disc game and as such had the best graphics at the time. Most of the games at that time were just move and shoot (pacman, tempest, donkey kong, etc.). It also had a story line (not just hit the shoot button). There were patterns in almost all of the scenes you just had to learn to recognize them. I put enough money into this game that I was able to beat it.

I'm sure the modern games are much better but dragon's lair was at the top when I quit playing.

I'm sure since you are "sciencing rockets" you are much smarter than me for these types of things, but take a look at this web page and let me know what you think. Seems much easier than building one from scratch and wont take away from wifey/p*ker/dog time. Then again, if you really enjoy sciencing rockets, maybe this is cheating.

Yeah, I've seen this stuff (this exact page, even), and it's under consideration. I think I'd like to build my own, though, if it's not *too* much of a PITA. That way, I can have exactly what I want and save some cash while I'm at it, too. Plus, there's nothing wrong with a good project. If I were to go buy one, it'd end up being something more like one of these bad boys and these run $1600-$1900. I think my wife would kick me in the nuts if I bought a $1600-$1900 video game.

Silent Scope 1 & 2, Time Crisis 2, and Cruising USA are my all time top three in that order.

I beat Silent scope 1 with 2 dollars and it was 50 cents a continue. Dam I was on. One of the greatest moments of my life.
