Hey Everyone, Just catching up here, I had all 3 Star Wars Pins at once, in my opinion:
Episode 1 is a terrible game, some really like it, not me... Turn off the video and play it, bleah... Terrible movie too.
The Data East one is fun enough but the Art work on the playfield is just terrible, like a lot of Data East games (JP and TFTC come to mind). I have a NOS playfield and it is terrible and beautiful at the same time... I like the peace fingers under the Death Star.
The Trilogy one by Sega looks great, especially in comparison to the Data East one, and seems really rare. I have just finished completely rebuilding it and replaced all Black rubber with white and took all the sleeves below the rubbers that are on the posts, off. This seems to make a huge difference in Data East/Sega games, the ball actually bounces! The Flippers on these games are incredibly strong and this game is playing really fast! The Tie Fighter bounces when the drop targets are hit, the big Cannon on the left is actually the diverter for the ramp as a magnet picks the ball up and the cannon recoils and the magnet drops the ball on the other ramp, pretty cool actually. I have not come anywhere near completing the game, near as I can tell there are 6 modes as well as 5 awards from the F>O>R>C>E> targets, at least 3 different multiballs. I was on the fence with this one before I rebuilt it, but now I am keeping it, at least for now. It has great color with all the LED's in it, the Sound is not up to snuff, but I might upgrade the speakers and see what it is like. I see all the terrible reviews for this game and I am thinking no one has played a working one. I haven't played it enough to figure out if it is pretty balanced scoring or if there is one repetitive shot to keep shooting over and over to score big. I think the ramp would be that shot though as spelling "Falcon" starts a multiball. The Ramp is HUGE! Maybe longer than the Boney Beast ramp in Scared Stiff, and feeds the left flipper to hit it again. The "F" and "O" targets send the ball back at the flippers/Drain very fast, you would almost think they were kicking targets, they are on each side of the ramp, so don't miss. Pretty fun game, we played it most of the night last night. Seemed to hold up well, and we never tired of it.
Ahhh well, I am happy to have this one, I have only seen one other one for sale and it was a few years back at SML here for around $5000! which will surprise everyone but the Calgary people!
Anyway, I have only one of the three remaining, so you know which one I like...
Does Any One have the 3D Lenticular Translite kicking around? I would like to find one...
Oh, Aerostarz, My PM's don't work on this site (Send me an Email), I can read them in the notification but replying doesn't seem to work. Been that way for quite a while. Anybody else have this problem? Any Admins have any idea why? Anybody know how to fix it?
Thanks, Dave
