Quoted from jar155:You can buy two or three great machines on the secondhand market for the price of a single NIB game. Even more if you pick up some pre-90s games.
People, pinball didn't start with Metallica.
But most of those old games wouldn't be Star Wars. Everyone varies but for me theme is the #1 factor when buying a game. If I'm not into the theme then I won't buy it, period. I'm not a Star Wars junkie so I won't buy this one, but I can totally understand that for others this is a must have especially if they are hardcore into Star Wars. Plus the game looks pretty deep, fast and fun. I'll play it when doomid adds it to AYCE Gogi. You are adding it right? Also remember that many simply do not want to work on their games, they just want to buy it new and have it function properly. They don't want half of their play time to involve a soldering gun. I know I sure don't, I'm not a hobbiest, I just want to play.
To me the video was great, I was much more impressed with it than I expected. Some may say the layout is simple but that helps it play so fast. You can look at a game like AC/DC Pro vs Premium, where even a few small additions to the playfield in the Premium version dramatically slowed down gameplay. I'm kinda glad they kept it really fast for Star Wars, and instead went deep with the modes and play options. To me it looks like a game you can come back to. I never reach wizard modes so for me this game would last quite a long time. I dunno, I guess I was really impressed. There's no point judging the art package to me right now, pictures often just don't convey it properly, I'll have to see it in person to see how good it looks.
