I may be in the minority here but as fas as the series goes I still don't think it's that bad of a game. Vector or not, isometric or not, I still dig the gameplay!

What's a good price for one of these? $300-500? Also tips wise...Any good ones out there? First level- Fly through all Ewok traps and log tunnels but how do you get past those little furry bastards on gliders? Level 2- Scout Walker level, any bonus points here? Intermission X-wing levels- Can you shoot the shuttle for bonus? Death Star- Fly through the traps here as well? Anything else? Does anybody think this is a bitch not going to the reactor but coming back???
 
ROTJ is one of my old favorites. I got mine for $300. It's beat to hell but plays perfectly.

This game happens to be next on my list of Arcade World Records to claim. I played a little last month and recorded a few games. I caught a 1.6mil game that I could post on youtube if you're intersted. My goal is 2mil. But If I dont get it I'd ultimately be happy with beating the record wich is 1.938mil.

It could take a couple of days to post due to my schedule.

I own it and the game is a keeper in a larger collection. It's not one of my favorites but I do like playing it from time to time. I have one and I would say it is worth $300 to $600+ based on condition. Sorry, no gameplay tips here. I suck at the game.

Please do Hector!!!!!
 
I loved this game when it was new. I also wasn't very good at it... I would get to either the second or 3rd Millennium Falcon screen and keep messing up.
 
other than the sounds and the legacy - horrible game. I had 2 WORKING ones a year or two ago - I [almost] couldn't give them away. Sold both as a package for $400. One cabinet was flawless the other in a lesser condition with a board issue.
 
I have a chance to get one from my buddy but he wants $600 firm and the sideart the left side is almost completely gone!

Wow, some buddy. :) Side art was reproduced for this. That price is too steep for the game in the condition you have described in my opinion. I would think $300 to $400.

Yeah...he's a big Star Wars nut so anything with the word "Star Wars" is pure gold to him!

yeah, i sold mine for $450 with a new happ monitor and the cabinet in overall pretty good condition. it is a fun game, once you get used to the weird viewpoint, it's easy to get some pretty good scores going.
 
Have your buddy check the few E-bay attempted sales the past 2 months. One for $900-unsold; one for $900, then $600-Unsold, one for $400-unsold.
 
I finally got around to putting the vids up. After my CPU and my editing programs giving me a hard time I looked into another way to chop up the 30 minute plus video. Who would have known the PS3 could do it? AND I uploaded from the PS3 editor too!

I love my PS3!








Hopefully 2 mil comming soon. Oh wait, I'd actually have to play for that to happen. Maybe I should start playing again.

Those videos are unbelievable bro! I never realized how much I do suck at this game... Your Jedi-like skills are amazing especially the "return" trip from blowing up the Death Star (that stage is my achilles heal!)

Interesting tidbit of info... I never knew this game had a ending! I always thought it kept going to ad infinitum.....:cool:
 
if anyone has one they're gutting, i've got a nice ROTJ cab here i'd love the guts out of. Or, conversely, if anyone wants a decent rotj cab, please let me know.

Level 8 DeathStar is the last level. In order to get the world record I will need to get to the escape scene on the last level and intentionally kill myself so I can do the level over again. Each run through the level is roughly 150k and finishing bonus is only 100k. So doing the level over again is worth quite a bit more.

I will need to run the level at least 4 times to have a shot at the record.
