Great video Alex. I'm tempted to convert Sheriff to the Spectrum as I already did a bit of work on a way to control the direction. As you know, I recently finished converting Lunar Rescue, and thought that the cutscene featured in that game may have been the first in a video game. Now I'm wondering if Sheriff beat it by a month or tow.

The Sheriff machine was my favourite to play at your museum when i was there. I noticed there is a slight lag/delay between when you move the control lever and your player starts moving but you're right, you get used to it and start to anticipate the delay. After awhile you can get rather adept at moving/dodging and perfectly playing your shot to intercept one of the enemies.
@TheArcadeArchive

Yea the delay Jim Bagley was telling me is due to having to swap the character position from left to right. I guess it was lack of hardware capability at that time.

I find it really sad why on earth nintendo never ported sherrif,space fever,radar scope,monkey magic and sky skipper to the famicom,sure by the time the famicom and the nes came out,those games were already a few years old, BUT still there was no excuse since pac man,space invaders,galactic,centipede,melipede etc,,, from thirth parties were also already a few years old at the time but they were still put on the famicom,so what the heeck nintendo??? (Heck nintendo even put some of those old thirth party games such as xevious and pac man on their nes classic series editions,so it clearly proves that arguments from some people that because of games being too old to be ported to newer systems just makes no sense and with this in mind and that said i Also just don’t understand why nintendo didn’t had put those games on the switch online swrvice yet🥲🥲🙁🙁

I feel your frustration but I think I know the reason why. A lot of the early games were coded by Ikegami and they own the source code and probably not worth the time or money for Nintendo to get those rights now.
