Holy crap! My life just changed today. As you can see from the pictures I picked up and Atari Star Wars upright. The cool thing with this is it looks like it was the fifth one off the assembly line. The side art looks amazing! The cabinet is in really good condition. The board works and the game flies blind. However, the previous owner thought he could simply repair the monitor so he removed a few of the boards. He said he had the boards somewhere in his garage and that he would give them to me. I told him it's imperative cause the monitor needs it. Let's put it this way, it didn't cost me much money, however, I had to trade a lot of Star Wars memorabilia and my Xbox 360 collection to get this. I also had to call in a couple of debts nothing major but I needed to get this safely home as soon as I could.

How have you had the handle "Atari the Jedi" and not owned this game already?!?

Make sure he finds those boards. Parts for these are incredibly pricey...
 
Nice score . Congrats on a cool game !
 
got mine last month.....was missing the chassis and pcb.

cost me a bundle to get those parts.

congrats on the pickup!
 
I know right, I actually came up with the name when my brother introduced me to the play station and told me I had to have a good user ID and I had to pick something good. I wanted something to kind of represent me. So I decided on Atari the Jedi. I don't think I'll ever find a better score than this. And I have had a few humdingers this year. I'm so euphoric right now

Yeah I was thinking about this I feel like I just entered in this so exclusive Country Club. The club that's so exclusive that even exclude white older males :)
 
Congrats on the pickup. Always a favorite with folks that come over.

I'm a huge Star Wars nerd but the Atari game is overrated.

I think overrated is probably a bit harsh but it definitely has a cyclic nature at my home. My sons have gotten VERY good at the game, far better than I. But we all find that we play it a lot, get to a point where it becomes overly repetitive, and then it sits for a while again.
