| history | Solar Fox (c) 1981 Bally Midway. Solar Fox is a space shooter and a Pac-Man-type game all in one. The playing field is square and only has walls on the outside. Each wall has a moving cannon mounted that will fire odd shaped torpedoes at your ship. Scattered around the inside will be a bunch of pellets in various simple patterns. To complete each level you have to drive over, or shoot all of the pellets. If done quickly enough the game will skip a level (going from 1 to 3, etc). - TECHNICAL - Bally Midway MCR 1 hardware Main CPU : Z80 (@ 2.496 Mhz) Sound CPU : Z80 (@ 2 Mhz) Sound Chips : (2x) AY8910 (@ 2 Mhz) Screen orientation : Vertical Video resolution : 480 x 512 pixels Screen refresh : 30.00 Hz Palette Colors : 32 Players : 2 Control : 4-way joystick Buttons : 2 - TRIVIA - This game came in a grey dedicated cabinet with sideart of a spacemans head inside an arrow shaped logo. The monitor was mounted deep inside the game, and what the player saw was actually a mirror (a lot of old games were like that). A Solar Fox unit appears in the 1983 movie 'Joysticks'. - STAFF - |
