CED player, is the old RCA video disc format, right? If so they are on Ebay all the time rather cheap.
CED players may come up often on ebay but the ones that have the computer control capability needed for the video games I don't think are. Only near the end of the CED format did RCA offer the control capability. Good luck with restoring this game. I would love to see and play it.
I think it is amazing that a CED arcade game works at all at this point. The discs themselves are like records and were designed to only have about 100 plays before the needle wore down enough of the grooves to greatly affect resolution. I would be interesting to see how they hold up in this use case.
Quoted from Methos:We had one growing up. Was one of the first widescreen/quality formats for movie fans. Loved it.
I think your thinking of laserdisc, we had hundreds of CED movies, and I never saw a widescreen one.
I did not even know there was a game that used CED.. I remember Dragons Lair used laserdisc.. learn something new every day.
Used to repair these things back in the day. The shop I worked at rented the discs. They actually worked pretty well until the stylus went south or the disc wore out and started skipping.

I thought some of ours were widescreen like The Man who Shot Liberty Vallence. I know they were not Pan and Scan because the James Bond films allowed me to see scenes I never did on the VHS version.
Yes its nfl. Requires the exact model number i have wanted. The game is dedicated and a test machine that was never on location. It looks like new in and out. The current player wont power on. If i manually press on off several times ill get a brief power flicker. I just need a confirmed working ced player so i can go from there.
