Wanted - There are 4 VAPS members currently looking for this game.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Technical

The 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.

Trivia

This game was based on the Clint Eastwood movie of the same title.
