Let's Take Apart: a Tomytronic 3D Sky Attack.

It's fun to take things to bits.

See the game playing in 3D here:

This is kind of a preliminary exploration of the guts of a 3d sky attack before I do a bit of work on it and turn it into something new.

Thanks for the comment!

Actually, this video inspired me to dismantle my own Sky Attack and make a short film about it - you can see the preview on my vimeo page (username crstokes83)

Let me know what you think!

@mylifeontape I thought i had left a message. sometimes youtube confuses me :P

do you know how to make 3d format movies for youtube? if so I'd love to see that tomytronic footage given the treatment. If not I'd gladly fix it up for you if you shot me over the raw footage.

i have 4, stereo skyfighters, shark attack, thundering turbos & sky attack, made in japan then singapore, great fun, came with a neck strap, which is often missing, ive sold all my doubles but kept back the strap for when i buy the games i dont have, ive seen all models on ebay, none are rare, thundering turbos & sky attack are very common, ive got those & stereo skyfighters boxed, wonder if its possible to project the image onto a screen/wall?

@doubledragonuk JungleFighter is quite rare and 3D Sherman Attack is as rare as hens teeth. The others are pretty easy to find. Projecting them with some really bright LEDs would be a fun project. With polarised filters you could theoretically project them in 3D but since LCD screens also use polarised filters you could run into trouble there, If you could get your LEDs to flash in synch with active 3D glasses then that should work.

i had the red one played it for hours. good memories.

@MarbleMad hey man, I finished my music video and plonked it on YouTube but it won't let me post the link here

I've got the first three! never seen the Jungle fighter one before!

I used to have the spaceship where you had to occasionally fuel up the ship & I also had the race car one. These were great games! Bravo!
