  • TNT Amusements has restored yet another classic Atari Star Wars 1983 Arcade Video Game...the last major release using a special "vector" monitor, which creates color pictures with lines and dots. A perfect mix of sight and sound---true genius!

    Awesome restoration! Played this a ton at one of the arcades around here back in 1983. We had a retro arcade here in Louisville about 10 years ago that had this as well as Tempest and Black Widow but sadly they closed up shop.

    These are unbelievably rare, and have been for over a decade. Great restoration, everything crisp, and functional.
    We sited one, and it never truly worked. Trigger buttons..intermittent. Vertical tracking, also intermittent. Some days the screen wouldn't power up, but everything else did.
    It got dumped at the end of 2 years. What a waste.
    This should get a good price..

      Rare? I've seen many over the last couple of years. They turn up on Craig's List quite often in California.

    Todd you should have played as Chewbacca in your video skits. You would have been a natural.

    What no DoT T-moulding?? Don't tell me you run out... :p
    Another great machine, well done guys. Playing the cockpit version of this back in the 80s was amazing as a kid.

    Todd, this is one of my favorite games from my teen years. I have been wondering about one thing... With the growing scarcity of replacement monitors, is it feasible to replace the vector monitor with an LCD? If so, would the the picture quality be as sharp? Thanks for all the gags, keep em coming.

    • @tntamusements
      @tntamusements  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Chris Kahl Nothing can ever replace the original vector monitor quite as well..in terms of clarity and super sharp brightness. The video camera can never pick up the detail of vector! Seeing it in person is so impressive!!

    Was this available in a cockpit version? I feel I played a sit-down version of this game...

    Do you have any videos where you specifically talk about your arcade history and arcade history in general? I'd love to see that you have a lot of insight.

    • @tntamusements
      @tntamusements  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I try to weave in tidbits into all these videos we post. I have not done a concentrated video yet...I was really holding off for a reality show to do that!

    Another fantastic job todd. Great game I was 7 when that came out. I remember entering the arcade and seeing it there. I walked past it and it said the force will be with you and I stopped dead in my tracks. It was the cockpit version. How I wish I had a time machine.

    • @tntamusements
      @tntamusements  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tony Jefford Yes Tony...so many people have similar memories to a true great game! I will tell Nolan Bushnell that when I meet him at the Pinball Expo next week!

    Todd, what is that little board for on the monitor chassis?

    • @tntamusements
      @tntamusements  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wayne M The little one we replace runs the low voltage on that board...which was not designed well...and failed after so many hours. The new board takes the place of over a dozen larger parts, and so far, since we started using them 13 years ago, never go bad...AND the monitor we put them in doesn;t either! And I can also say, that I have reconditioned more of them than anyone in the country---so I can speak from experience!

    • @sisu6310
      @sisu6310 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      TNT Amusements Inc Hi Todd, do I miss it? I was projectionist for nearly 20yrs, real film, non of the digi,stuff, on days off, I would go and run other cinemas, yes, I eat and breath the game, drives head office nuts, but she don't understand, once in the blood that's IT! bless her. broke my heart leaving.

    • @tntamusements
      @tntamusements  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      alan p Yes...I loved running the Theater at Temple University Student Activites Center for 8 or more years! I found out 9 months ago that a relative of mine got the patent on the "Cue Marks" for reel changes! He invented the system! I am planning on doing a video on this dying art of reel changes!
