TechnicalThe Philips laserdisc player had a notorious tendency to break down, thus many Firefox games were converted or junked. The most common failure is due to fallen magnets from the laserdisc optics, but this can be fixed.Both the upright and the cockpit versions have stereo headphone jacks and volume control knobs. The upright jack/knob is located below the control yoke and the cockpit jack/knob was under the control yoke as well, but it is hard to spot unless you bend down for a better look. And audio cassette recorder can be connected to the jack to record the game sounds with almost perfect quality. TriviaThis game was based on the Clint Eastwood movie of the same title.FixesThe Philips laserdisc player had a notorious tendency to break down, thus many of these games were either converted or junked.
