Star Wars Racer Arcade Version -

Post by eckart »

Anybody here play this game in the arcades or have the cabinet?
Is it good, a timeless classic or boring after a while?

I can get my hands on the mini deluxe version with a 33" screen.
-Read that it is possible to change to other games like planet harriers.

Maybe someone here has some + or - for the game.;)

The machine with the two push-levers for steering? I loved this game in the arcade, but it's been so long that I can't really say too much about it. I always though the control was the coolest thing ever though.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

I played it quite a few times and always really enjoyed it. I just remember it being bloody hard though, and usually pinching your credits real quick after a couple of laps. If you owned it it would probably be great fun to learn!
