Sega Star wars

BITD I played it at Pak-Mann arcade in Pasadena.
I really liked this game.

I am assuming it is standard res as it uses a normal projection big screen?

Its a sega model 1 so med res would be the norm.
Trilogy is med res big screen, pod racer is vga big screen. Not sega I know but my solar assault 50" is med res. So there were 50" med res being used, but I have never seen the sega star wars arcade. (would like to.)

Three-ish years ago I played a local one in Austin Texas at a movie theatre in Barton Creek mall. Long gone now, of course. I had the home 32x version already, and I knew about the rarity of the arcade game. It was in good shape and working, fun title. I think there had to be more than 12 imported to the USA. It was okay overall, but not mind blowingly good.

Yeah 12 seems like a really low and odd number or them to chose to import. I think three of us have already mentioned owning or seeing them, but it would be neat to know how many were brought stateside.

BITD I remember Time Out Upstairs at Springfield Mall had one of these. Very fun to play.

So, the ad has been pulled (prematurely I think). Who bought it in PA?

I Did was not the best machine,, 10 years of cola, coins and dust, beaten up.
No original monitor and no marquee.. 12 hours of work it is now running with a few issues like the sound buzzing on some sample playback..ground fan noise getting into audio path?

came with pod racer,

now all I have to do is figure out the audio buzz on several samples ..not all the time..150 audio tests to go!

Hey Mike, ever have any audio buzz ,,sample varies as it happens

 

[Radiac]

That's awesome. Congrats on picking it up. I'm glad to see it found a good home and is up an running.

Now you need a Trilogy to go beside the other two.

Got lucky,, anyone have sound issues with this machine?

HUM happens on darth vader breathing sample for example.

Interesting. My Trilogy has two separate volume knobs. One is for the regular stereo volume and one is for the Woofers. If the bass woofer knob is turned up to high, Darth Vader, Tie Fighters, and the main attract logo coming onto screen rumble the cab like crazy and distorts the standard audio.

sounds like fan induced ground hum..about to remove see if clears

It's a myth - there were more than 12 and they are not $25,000

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.
