My Journey with Arcade1up - Part II: Star Wars

It didn't take long for me to 'catch the bug' so to speak with these mini cabinets.  Just a short 2 and a half months after my first purchase, Pac-man, I was shopping around for the next one.  In early June during the E3 Electronics conference Arcade1up announced 3 more cabinets that were being released that fall.  Of the three 'second generation' cabinets the one that blew my mind the most was the Atari classic Star Wars.  The moment this one was available for pre-order I went into my local EB Games (now doing business as Gamestop) and slapped down a deposit.  

As the receipt stated, the date was:  August 8th, 2019 and now I had to figure out what to do for the next few months before the cabinet shipped.  What was great about EB Games was that they only required a small deposit for pre-order unlike other retailers who wanted the full purchase price up front (even if the wait was several months).  

The E3 offerings in 2019 tugged at the heartstrings on many fronts. Of course any kid born in the mid to late 70s grew up with the Star Wars universe, but the other two games: Marvel Superheroes and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles garnered a lot of nostalgia as well for our cohort.  Of the three I think I was most influenced by Star Wars and that is why it was an easy choice for my 2nd cabinet.  I have fond memories of playing the sit-down version of this cab at my local Scandia Golf & Games in the early 80s.  At the time I think that they had it right inside the door as you came in and it was the biggest game in the place at the time.

 Fast forward 3 months or so and on November 12th I got the call from EB Games that my cabinet was ready for pickup. Just like Pac-man before it the distress signal came while I was at work and so I had to finish my shift before making my way over for pickup.  I felt like Boba Fett arriving to collect my bounty and upon finishing the transaction hurriedly making for my escape pod before enduring any "Imperial entanglements".   The drive home was akin to Han Solo weaving through the Asteroid field as I attempted to navigate my way back through rush hour traffic in the quickest and safest way possible.

Immediately after opening the box I could tell that this cabinet was something special.  The build quality seemed to be light years ahead of the previous generation cabinets and with the iconic John Williams soundtrack playing in the background I got to work assembling this soon to be "fully operational" battle station.  From the replica fight yolk controls to the light up marquee to the beautiful side panel artwork this cabinet was (and still is) a sight to behold. Pre-loaded with the 1983 vector classic, Star Wars, the 1985 follow-up, Empire Strikes Back, which was released as a conversion kit for the original game and Return of the Jedi which was an isometric raster game from 1984 the lineup on this cabinet ran the gamut of scenes and scenarios from the beloved Original Trilogy.  The irony is that ROTJ actually was released the year BEFORE ESB was offered as a software upgrade to the original Star Wars game.  

Assembly of this cabinet was much the same as Pac-man with a few exceptions.  It all went together with some wooden dowels and a screw driver in under an hour.  It was the first cabinet that I owned that came with a custom matching riser and a light-up marquee right out of the box and even though the gameplay is not as varied on this cabinet as it is on some of the later ones it will always have a place in my home arcade if for no other reason than the pure nostalgia it generates when you look upon it and hear the digitized voices and music from the films.  I could have never imagined that when I was 7 or 8 years old playing with the Kenner action figures in my back yard and creating trenches and planets out of mud and snow and gravel to re-enact my favorite scenes that I would be able to bring home a replica arcade cabinet in my adult years.  

As with Pac-man, I added a matching stool to this cabinet the following July from The Source.  It was the official Arcade1up licensed stool that matches the side art of the machine with Darth Vader's visage figured prominently on it.  

The finish on this cabinet truly puts this one ahead of all the ones that came before it and even some that came after.  New to this cabinet was an upgraded monitor that was more vibrant and colorful than the first generation screens a proper volume toggle that allowed you to turn the volume up and down 15 levels instead of the 3 position: off, Loud and OBNOXIOUS settings of the older cabinets, and if I'm not mistaken the software was emulated by Code Mystics for the first time and they did a fantastic job of bringing these games to the home market by offering a settings menu for each game that allowed you to change the difficulty as well as add scan lines.  Switching between games was also made unique by the sound cues of Artoo's whistles and the hyperspace starfield effect that transitions from the game menu to each chosen game.  Another highlight of this cabinet is that the 'attract mode' has sound so you can turn this game on and leave it running to get that arcade ambience even when it is not being played.  There is nothing like turning all the lights off and just seeing the glow of the machines and hearing Ben Kenobi's famous dialogues from the movies or hearing selections from the soundtrack.  The Atari Star Wars Arcade1up cabinet is one for the ages.
