As for myself going to arcades during 1970s, I don't recall seeing an Exidy Attack cab in person. I never knew what the game looked like.

The Exidy Attack flyer doesn't show what the game looks like either.

Exidy's version is a different game than Taito's version of Attack

Taito's version looks like PSE's Bazooka imo.

As for Anti-Aircraft, I did play the game back then. It is a 3 button game that a player can select to raise the gun at an angle when trying to shoot at the airplane. See Atari flyer link to see how the cab control panel buttons are arranged.

Socodimex's cab version of Anti-Aircraft isn't as good looking as the N. American design, but I do like their bezel and control panel layout which are missing in the N. American cab model. It's too bad Atari didn't use a bezel and control panel layout similar to the Socodimex's cab version for the N. American cab models.

Thanks to the kind generosity of H.R. Kaufmann, president of Xidy,

Does anyone know the contact for reaching H.R. Kaufmann? It would be ideal if permission is possible for roms/proms of non-cpu games to also be hosted on MAME site.

Thanks to Siftware's work, Exidy's Attack is first Exidy non-cpu videogame to be preserved.

Here's hoping proms from an Exidy Death Race pcb can be dumped even though a rom set that was dumped many years ago is floating around at this time. And also same for Exidy Destruction Derby and Alley Rally. Those pcbs need to be on the want list.

btw: roms/proms for Attack and Anti-Aircraft have been properly dumped by Siftware imo and should eventually be available.....especially ideal for users that need to keep their pcbs in working shape....besides for the few remaining old time gamers around here that played those 1970s era games or enjoy playing the real old games.

Remember to keep the roms/proms in the directory/folder called Roms when using DICE to play Stunt Cycle, Attack, and Anti-Aircraft. DICE looks for them in that folder name.

Again...thanks to both Adam Bousley for DICE and siftware (dumped roms from the pcbs).
