I have one that I bought as package with an Armor Attack. Both dead.....

One of these days I will get them running.
 
I have had 5 or 6 over the years. My last spare is at google. Its been on pretty much 24/7 for a few years now and I hear its still working. The last one I have is a keeper.

Yours looks really nice! Usually they have messed up/missing side art..
 
I'm still looking for someone who really knows what their doing when it comes to repairing the boards. I don't own one but i know someone who'd love to get theirs up and running.

i have a nice star castle. i like this game pumped up all the way, the constant droning and the explosions are awesome!
 
I don't own one, yet. Found a very pretty but gutted cab earlier this year and almost brought it home. Probably would have had it not been clouding up that day.

I fantasize about building my future personal arcade as a duodecagon (is that the right word? A 12-sided figure? ala the shileds of the Star Castle?) and naming it Star Castle.
 
i read somewhere there are 2 rom sets for star castle. one that the drones dont speed up so you can play for a long time. the other gets pretty hard after the 7 or 8 time you blow up the mothership. i remember being able to play for a loooong time bitd. but im maxed out at 20k on my machine now. the drones fly faster than i can get away. does anybody have the easy roms? id love to be able to play for a long time again.
 
I have one on indefinite loan from another collector :) .

It's the one that was at CAX this year. It's in pretty decent shape overall.

The owner did tell me that it has the "harder" ROMs on it, and it is true that I can't get much more than about 20K on it. The star pursuers actually become faster than my ship is able to accelerate at that point so there's just no way that I can see to get away from them :( .

That's exactly like mine.

this is my starcastle fully shopped out, thanks to jetusenet for this nice machine! it has the newer pcb, after 20k very hard to fool the drones.
