Firefox is a 1984shoot 'em uparcade video game based on the1982 film of the same name starringClint Eastwood.[4] It was produced in 1984[5][6] asAtari's onlyLaserDisc video game.[a] Like Atari's first-personStar Wars andEmpire Strikes Back,Firefox came as both an upright and sit down cabinet with ayoke style controller.
Firefox was primarily designed by Mike Hally and Dave Ralston, and programmed by Greg Rivera and Norm Avellar.
The cabinet has stereo sound with an additional headphone port and volume control in the front. AllFirefox cabinets shipped with a 19" Amplifoneraster monitor, and utilized an Atari quad-POKEY.Firefox's power requirements necessitated the use of two Atari AR-II power supplies.
To collect the LaserDisc video, developers Mike Hally and Moe Shore sifted through 20 to 30 hours' worth of footage shot for the film. Most of the resulting footage was first-person shots filmed from helicopters flying overGreenland andScandinavia.[7]
Firefox shares a cabinet withI, Robot, although significantly fewerI, Robot machines were produced.
In Japan,Game Machine listedFirefox as the third most successful upright/cockpit arcade unit of March 1984.[8] In the United States, it was the top-grossing laserdisc game on thePlay Meter arcade charts in July 1984.[9]
