where can I play that game?
I last played that in c.1988 aged 8 in an arcade in Newquay.
I put 30p in and didn't know what the hell I was doing. I sat there, too small to see properly and did 4 x figure of eights with the crosshair, then 4 x up and down, then 4x figure 8s (repeat...) whilst hammering the triggers shooting anything that moved and trying to shoot the sticky out bits at the sides of the screen. Didn't understand what anything was; only found out decades later when I stumbled across the machine in an arcade in Clacton pier and realised the sticky out bits at the side of the screen were the X-Wings laser guns.
Dad came and got me after about an half an hour. I think I completed it, or was doing well, because the game just went on and on. Just kept going.
Same as with G-Loc, Thunderhawk and Afterburner. I once put 30p in After-burner and G-Loc was there for an hour both times. And Knights of the Round on the ferry back from Calais - the machine turned off and I was still going, button bashing away. And Goldenaxe. The only arcade I ever completed was Streetfighter 2.
Incidentally, Clacton pier had Operation Wolf, Lethal Enforcers, Chase HQ, and Enduro Racer.
Just don't put a £1 coin in - you'll be there all day.

Have you looked at the MAME software?
You can play thousands of original arcade games on that.
