Cabinet Information

This game was a conversion for Interstellar. The control panel is silk screened with Don Davis. Under the panel is a large decal of Don with fire in the background going from the panel down to the coin door.

Conversion

Although it was produced by Funai only as a kit for Interstellar, the boardset is dedicated and unique. The Interstellar control panel cannot be used to play Esh's Aurunmilla because it does not allow four-way movement. Because of this, once the laserdisc and PCB are installed into the Interstellar cabinet, the game is not playable without the dedicated Esh's Aurunmilla control panel or equivalent.

Miscellaneous

Looks like a cross between Dragons Lair and Space Ace.
