Sega Star wars

arcade or trilogy ... or pod racer.
Then which version upright/deluxe etc....

We SERIOUSLY need a price check section with some stickies about how to ask for a price check!

just like what they say in real estate

Amen.

Sega Star Wars Trilogy price check assuming fully working, possible screen burn (or slight blur to projection), all artwork intact...

Upright= $700-$1000 to the right buyer
Deluxe (projection)= $500-$700
 
No SEGA STAR WARS (PILOT GUNNER) Local

Own a cockpit atari star wars and upright..want to purchase trilogy later

*sigh*....

When you say this: "Sega Star Wars (pilot gunner)"

That typically is referred to as THIS:
http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9775

That shit is worth mad money, and if one were to ever pop up, you should buy it.

However, if by "Sega Star Wars (pilot gunner)" you really meant THIS:
http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9776

and you were also referring to this ad in PA:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320785882793+&item=320785882793

Then the value is waaaaaaaay less than the aforementioned.

If the machine were working, $600. It's cool but not that great.
If it is like the dude's auction and does not have a picture, and you pay more than $200, you overpaid IMO.
 
If fully working, I could see someone still paying $1500 for one. Maybe I'm wrong. They might even pay more for one. Maybe the market is down a little? If the one you're looking at is fully working, that's a rare game, and you should think of a price you're happy with. There were only so many of those things brought to the US from what I recall.
 
Wow! I saw the dude's auction. Beware that might get alot of attention in the next three days here as well. I would buy it if I were you. Dead monitor or not. Projection monitors are cheap these days. Go for it!
 
you have not answered the point about condition.

Star Wars Arcade (by Sega) only comes in a DLX version which has a rear projection screen. Most of these are out by now.

I say $300-$1500 depending on condition. Throttles are analog and expensive to replace.

There's the one he's talking about on the bay right now. Has the monitor out, but plays blind says the ad. The cab is pristine. If he could land it in "non-working" condition for less than $800, he should make out like a bandit if he can replace the projection with another off CL.
 
Have not seen it..will let you guys know tmw.
Just wanted to see if worth the effort to restore.
Only seen a small clip of video on this game..anyone got any more info on these?
Thanks for the response.
 
To my knowledge, this was a game for Europe (or was it Japan?) and only a handful were brought to the US. I've never been close to one, I've never played one, but I have heard it is the best rendition of a first person shooter/ flyer for the Star Wars series in the arcades, beating out even the elusive original Star Wars.

That's about all I can give you.
If you get it at the right price, it's well worth the restore. Shit, even a fresh 50" projection TV can be had for less than $300 on CL now. So like I said, if you get it for less than $800, you're good to go. If you hear it play blind, you're golden. Joysticks are not cheap, but they are out there.
 
Two watch outs on that auction - first, there is no marquee shown, which will certainly hurt the end value even if paired with a working monitor. Second, Model 1 boards are flaky. It could be playing blind, but not be rendering polygons. If that is the case, it can't really be repaired if the custom chips on the board are bad. Model 1 games are also not universally swappable with each other. You would need a working board from a Wing War (very uncommon itself) to mate with the Star Wars rom board. The much more common Virtua Fighter/Racing boards won't work.

I'd be wary of buying this cab to flip. You could come out well, but you could also be left with a very big doorstop if you are unable to get it working. It is desirable, and definitely cool though.

By the way, the game was ported to the Sega 32x console for those looking to check out the gameplay.
 
I believe most the of the info so far is correct. Here's what I have heard. The Star Wars Arcade by Sega was made primarily for Japan with only a few shipped over. I seem to recall that it sold for 25K new but I may be mistaking if for Daytona. The cab is large with two chairs and one screen. The game play was 1 Pl. or 2 player cooperative. When in 1 Pl, the pilot would aim the target by steering the game and then firing at will. When in 2Pl, the pilot would aim the ship and the gunner would move the cross hairs around to follow the enemy. Its pretty damned difficult in 2 Pl. I know because it was ported over to the Sega 32x system and was one of the more interesting titles there. I found the game particularly interesting because you fly in a Y wing and maybe others at time. You also assault a the large triangular battle cruisers(the one at the very beginning of Episode 4 chasing the princesses ship). You fly inside the ship and its pretty tight. Lots of ups and downs dodging the ceiling and floor. Probably a lot easier with an analog stick. Either way, if you already own a Star Wars cockpit and are as remotely as much of a fan as I am, pick that bitch up and never look back. I paid 600 for my beat to shit SW CP (1983). Its been problematic and an never ending pain in my arse ever since. But Star Wars games are a labor of love. You don't do it cause its easy. You do it because nearly every Star Wars arcade game and pinball were the coolest things going when they came out (probably because G. Lucas said they had to be). They have held up remarkably well over the years(with the possible exception of Jedi;) . Either way, try out the Star Wars Arcade on mame if you aren't convinced yet. And if you did get it, forget replacing the rear projector TV with another. Replace that bad boy with a new flat panel LCD. Its a bit of a project but folks in the biz have been doing it lately with all the Daytona's and such and it shouldn't be that difficult. Just time consuming and not a project to start uninformed.
 
I saw one these monsters for sale at a garage sale a few months ago. The guy said he had it shipped from California (I think) and he wanted to get at least $2,000 for it....he probably still has it even. It was a cool game to see and that's the only one I've ever come across.
 
Is this not a med res game like trilogy? Meaning you cant just get a tv off CL without using an adapter.

That's about all I can give you.

I love mine and will never get rid of it.

Rumor has it there were only 12 shipped over Stateside although that seems pretty low.

The game is lots of fun but big (especially with the TV). I set mine up to display to a plasma. I have the original TV in my garage taking up space I could be using for another two games. I thought about getting rid of it but am hesitant to break the game up.

Nice job hooking up a plasma for it. :) I totally would feel the same way in keeping the original TV especially for a hard to find game. I was looking at your website when I got my Trilogy that had a non-working monitor. It's about as big as the first Sega Star Wars game, but I was lucky enough to get it working.
