Holy shit. This game might be my holy grail. Laser Base.
Back in the early 80's, our car broke down in the middle of nowhere, so I had to spend 2 hours in a diner while we waited on a quick repair across the street. Like every other restaurant on the planet, they had 2-3 arcade games, but there was this one I'd never heard of.
I definitely remember text on a blue backgound, but the attract mode never showed any actual gameplay; it just explained it. Just text, maybe some enemies and point values, but never a demo. It sounded like a Missile Command ripoff, but controlled with a joystick, so there was no way I was wasting one of my quarters on it. Pretty sure I played a speed-hacked Pac-Man instead.
The car got fixed and we drove away, but I always wondered what that weird game was and for some reason it always stuck with me. Weird how memories work. 30+ years later, I've looked for this game again my whole life, having no idea what the name of the game was, but constantly checking MAME. I've never found anything matching my memories until now, but I think this is it.
