Okay... So i was hoping you guys could help out a friend of mine. He said he played an arcade game back in the early 80's, but has no idea what it was called.
I gathered all the info I could. He said it was a cocktail cabinet. He said it had 5 buttons arranged in a "plus" shape. So there were buttons at N,S,E and W. In the middle of those buttons was the fire button. He said you had a gun or a cannon in the center of the screen and missiles would fire at you from all 4 edges of the screen. You had to hit the correct button to flip your cannon in that direction and the hit the fire button to blow up the missile before it hits your cannon.
I always love putting my gaming lore to the test, but this is a game i am certain I have never played or heard of. He said if i can find out what game it is he is going to buy one for his game room. I posted this here because it gets a bit more traffic than the arcade section, but also he was interested if there was a console port.
