The Chuck E. Cheese near me when I was a kid had the stand-up version. I was obsessed with that game.

I love the green theme on the menu, they deliberately changed their cable box settings for that. Throws me back.

Decent book, USSR is building a new supersonic jet with a new interface that can be controlled by thought. American pilot chosen for a mission to steal the jet, and has to think commands in Russian for the jet to act on them. “How do you say ‘fire’ in Russian?”

I'm a sucker for most Cold War stuff and did really enjoy Firefox

Huh, there's a very similar book, "Day of the Cheetah" by Dale Brown. Same plot except the US and USSR roles are reversed.

The Soviets in this movie are as cheesy as the terrorists in True Lies

"With one turn of that key..."

"What key?"

"That key! Who... who's taken the key?!"

I think this was more realistic but my mind is placing it from about the same time as blue thunder and airwolf. Feels like there was a lot of super flying device things around that time.

They don't do it anymore. Things changed.
