I was checking in on a Starblade game it is very large. Anyone know what this game is worth seems to be in nice condition is it a fun game never played it.
 
I've seen them go for 100 to 200 at auction working. Saw one trying to get loaded into a trailer at the end of the auction, took 6 guys to get it into that trailer and the trailer was a foot or so off the groud :)
Heavy sucker.
 
Not sure what the going rate is. Since the thing is huge, that sometimes keeps the price down a bit. Then again, some people I know think Starblade is the coolest thing ever.

Have a look on YouTube. I always thought it seemed pretty kickass.
 
Starblade is cool but its a rail shooter so may get old once you learn the patterns. 3DO put out an awesome port of it... That's how I got my fix back in the day. Awesome graphics and sound.

Star blade is what would happen if Star Wars(atari) and Star Fox(N64) had a kid. It is a huge ass game. Its cheap at auction, but I could see a fully working specimen in excellent condition bring as high as 450. The thing to remember is the tradeoff of a game that size is the presence it brings to a gameroom. Similar to a Star Wars CP, Sinistar CP, Afterburner SD,Tron: Deadly Discs,.......Point is, it might get old in a hurry, but its a spectacle to see. The first one I saw was at an auction in Knoxville and I recall walking behind it, looking through the back and just getting sucked in. I would recommend picking one up if you found one in great shape and if you have the room. If you don't have the room, at least go play it to see if it gives you a similar reaction to those that love it.
 
Starblade is awesome, my all time favorite arcade game. I hope one day I hit the trifecta (space to house it, a machine local to me, and help transporting it) and have one of my own. While it's influenced by Star Wars, to me it always was essentially The Last Starfighter.

If I remember correctly it weighs somewhere around 900 pounds.

I have the 3DO port, one of my favorite all time games. The 3DO port was my first exposure to the game. I love rail shooters though.

I passed on one about 4 years ago for $350. Its just so huge.
 
I seen one at an auction years back when I didn't have the space and passed. Now that I do have the space, I regret it and wish I could find another one for sale.
