Arcade1Up STAR WARS ARCADE MACHINE

Product Information

Characters: Han Solo, Darth Vader, Lando Calrissian in the Calrissian Chronicles table, Boba Fett, Droids Take control of starfighters such as the X-wing and Tie fighter and customize your load-out and cosmetics I think any kid who spent a portion of their childhood in the 80s in an arcade probably has this cabinet at the top of their wish list. To help offset the weakness of LCDs with these types of games, the cabinet features some optional settings for graphics. A Vector Glow option enables different types of glow around each line, of varying brightness and intensity. It makes the game a bit less sharp, but really helps the graphics pop out and make up for the lower contrast. It isn't a perfect fix, but it's a welcome one.

Because there is only one flight yoke, and the three games included are single-player-only, only one person can play on the cabinet at a time, unlike most of Arcade1Up's other cabinets. The Screen Galactic Struggle: Every Star Wars Pinball player in the galaxy will choose to support the light or dark side in a perpetual online digital tug-of-war between the forces of good and evil. Which path will you choose? Learn what it means to be a pilot in a thrilling Star Wars single-player story set after return of the Jedi Arcade1Up’s Digital Pinball is here! Complete your at-home arcade with your very own 3/4 scale Star Wars™ digital pinball machine. Tastemakers LLC is working closely with Disney and Zen Studios to ensure fans receive a product that looks and plays great with thrilling Star Wars storytelling and an authentic pinball experience. Love this machine!! It was a pleasure to build, you just need to take your time and have plenty of space, and use supplied wrappings to ensure nothing is scratched when things need laying down during the build.Return of the Jedi, meanwhile, is an isometric third-person game with sprite-based graphics. Using the same flight yoke controller, you have to pilot your speeder bike left and right (diagonally upper left and lower right on the screen) while avoiding scout troopers on their own bikes. It's more awkward to control, more difficult, and much less fun. It's easy to see why Atari returned to a more original Star Wars arcade experience with Empire after Jedi. Ironically, while it's the worst-playing of the three games, Jedi's sprite-based graphics mean it's the best-looking of the three games on the LCD, since LCDs handle full-color screens full of pixels much better than they handle vector graphics.

The hybrid of nostalgic, iconic titles you know and love in conjunction with an authentic, affordable, at-home solution is the foundation of Tastemakers’ venture into the world of digital pinball with its new partners. A riser is included with the cabinet as well, fixing our complaints about the the company's other cabinets being too short to play comfortably while standing. You can use just the 47-inch-tall cabinet with a stool, or bring it up to 60 inches with the riser. The riser is covered in Star Wars arcade art that matches the cabinet.
