Picked up an ActionMax system from the thrift store today. I got it
nearly complete, which is rare. Only missing the power supply (common
9V) and the VCR cable. This is a game that you hook to your VCR. It has
a light gun and some sort of red either sensor or light (don't know
yet). It came with a fighter combat VCR tape that you play in the VCR
and I assume you use the gun to shoot at stuff on the screen. I'm sure
someone else knows more about it than me. I haven't hooked it up yet.
But I won't be able to do anything with it until I get the VCR cable.
Anyone know how to rig one up?
I had one a long time ago, and I don't remember having to hook a cable to
the VCR. I think the red thingy acts as both a score light and a sensor. It
should have a suction cup and IIRC just stick it to the top right corner of
the TV screen.
The fighter pilot tape was the pack-in with the system. There was only
about 6 tapes total made. I see these things quite often though, in fact I
saw one several days ago. I believe it came out in '86.
