If you think fondly of the days of playing those vintage Atari Star Wars games at your hometown arcade, and dream of piloting the galaxy again, have I got news for you. They’re back and you can have them in your very own arcade machine this fall. Home arcade supplier and manufacturer Arcade1Up announced a Star Wars arcade cabinet and custom riser at the E3 in show June. Now we finally have pre-order details.
Going Back to the 1980s
Looking like it came straight out of the 1980s, the arcade cabinet stands just over 5’ tall and features the original arcade machine’s artwork on the cabinet. Included is a marquee that lights up, a full-color 17’’ display and dual speakers. The machine is on a riser. Control the X-wing pilot controller with Real Feel 4 button/trigger-style flight yoke. Soon you’ll be blasting through the galaxy just like you did all those afternoons after school. It even ships with a clear deck protector to preserve that classic artwork through hours of gaming. Other features include adjustable variable volume and an anti-tip over strap.

You’ll find all three arcade games for Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. In the first two game titles, you play as Luke Skywalker and go through a series of battle sequences. In Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, you control 3 vehicles: speeder bike, Millennium Falcon, and AT-ST. All of the titles are 1-player and will record your high scores. Assembly is required but Arcade1UP promises it’s easy to assemble. Once you’ve assembled it, just select your favorite Star Wars game and get flying.
