Firefox is a 1984 shoot 'em up arcade video game based on the 1982 Clint Eastwood film of the same name.[4] It was produced in 1984[5][6] as Atari, Inc.'s only LaserDisc video game. Like Atari's first-person Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, Firefox came as both an upright and sit down cabinet with a yoke style controller.
