In 1979 I was hardly old enough for anything but toddlers picture-books, much less heavy metal mags.

But the game looks impressive for 1979, really.

I’ve seen YouTube vids of enthusiasts playing it, getting it, restoring old original

cabinets.

It can be done but is probably much, much work!

Metal (within my own quite narrow choices of subgenres/subcultures),

 was not something I spent time, money or energy on until 2001/2002 onwards. So, I’d be only familiar with the modern sound coming from the late 90ies, throughout the 00’s and until recently 2018/2019.

Ok, not the topic of the thread, but since you mentioned those mags.

@Giles N  Yeah...Heavy Metal Magazine did have a music component, but many of us read it for the sci fi/fantasy art/stories in it. You can get a taste of the perfect melding of music, culture, and art in the movie that came out when I was a kid:

It's a whole series of most scenes from the movie:

Ha ha - looks like the inspiration (almost) for Xenophobe

Wierdo-aliens kicking instruments and breaking into singing: cool stuff!
