If anyone wants to play this, you can do it with "Supermodel", a Model 3 emulator in the works. Google for it, you'll need a powerful pc. But a dual core with 3.0ghz will be more than enough at its native resolution. I recommend playing it at 1080p though :P
This. This is as close as a real duel with Darth Vader a you gonna get. One of the many reasons I kept tossing quarters into this arcade. Sure, it will tell you where he might strike, but you had to block fast and with a control that at times seemed to lock momentarily when you need it the most. Hold on, did I just heard Palpatine say at the end "So be it Jedi?" I don't remember that whenever I won >.>
I would love to have this for PS2. Why has'nt this classic game been put on platform? It's hard to even find an arcade, much less one with this in it anymore!!
They fucking need to put this on either LIVE Arcade or whatever the fuck its called for Wii! I mean I used to go to Arcades when I was younger just to play this. This game was and still is the shit!
i wish this could be ported to ps3(move), 360(kinect), wii(motion plus) with new levels from prequel trilogy like podracing, battle with maul, geonosis, space over coruscant, utapu, and mustafar.
@tmMcHugh They should make a Star Wars Trilogy Arcade 2 with the Prequel Trilogy. I think the podrace would be awesome and the Darth Maul battle would be epic in a game like this. And playing as Yoda and fighting Count Dooku and the battle on Mustafar with Obi Wan vs Anakin.
thumbs up if you want this star wars arcade to be ported to the wii(support with motion plus) and ps3(ps move) with new levels from the prequels and the originals.
OMG so many memories on this cabinet... I used to "practice" on the stand-up cabinet at Wal-Mart, so that I could think I was the shit when I beat the game on the sit-down force-feedback version at the local theme park...
Out of all the duels in this arcade game, Vader was the hardest to fight and for a long while I didn't know why. I finally emerged victorious for the first time somewhere in March 2011 after figuring out what I needed to do with my lightsaber. :)
@Redeemedsoul 2 credits for me. id use my last one for destroying the second death star because my shields would not regen after the battle of endor and id get swarmed by interceptors before attacking the shuttle and bombers THAT PART IS STILL CRAZY
they should extend this game with the other 3 movies to duel with darth maul. count duku . jango fett .general grevus. anikin skywalker . chansler palpatine (the emporor)
awww frick! I freaking loved this arcade game! Want to play this again sooooo badly!!!! Someone get a updated version with enchanced graphics and 3D support(drools at the possibility XD) ASAP!!!! Maybe a 3DS version perhaps? X )
@SamusDrake Thats a great point, You should write to Sega. I have and they do listen I have gotten back replies and they are bringing a lot of shooters to the Wii now. Wii sells Shooters very well and they have taken notice. This game would fit right in. the problem is George Lucas wants alot of money for the Trade Mark and it hurts profits so Sega has to be really confidant that they will sell several million just to make a decent profit.
I remember Sega had some kind of "club" back in the 80s where they could question certain players as to what they wanted, and the result was Phantasy Star - due to the popularity of Ultima, Final Fantasy and DragonQuest.
Man... i used to watch my older brother play this ALL the time at my local movie theater... we would make trips just to play. He would play the whole game, and since I was the little brother, I was delegated to the "special" button (the one for the reinforcements etc)... ahh man those were good times. I wish I could find a cabinet of this somewhere in New Jersey so we could play it like we used to 10 years ago =]
Back then I loved this game, and I was pretty good at it. ;) I played it so many times after school when I was a kid. At the end, I managed to beat the whole game with only one token. I was so proud of myself. :P After that when I played, people were watching me playin. :P
also, during the attract mode when they have the battle with vader, he pretended vader cut his hand off. he was like AUUUUGH!!!! and fell to the florr. it was hilarious.
yesterday at a pizzariea/arcade i live near, my brother wasted all his tokens on this game. he got to the secret mission where you blow up the death star 2. hes good at this game
Remember beating this game...and beating Boboa Fett for the first time....and then beating ALL the levels for the first time...sooooooo proud of myself.
This game was the best Star Wars games of all time-and my personal favorite arcade game.
This must be on the 'Easy' difficulty. They have this machine at the bar near my flat and there are no arrows or indicators of when and where Vader will strike - to this day I have not completed the Vader duel.
They could remake this game with better graphics and release it as DLC. Maybe add some more levels and the new trilogy. It would be awsome to fight Darth Maul as Obi-Wan alongside Quin-Gon =D
Everyone wanting to play this: Google "Download MAME" and download it from the first link. Then go to rom-world dot (com) and search for MAME games. There you will find hundreds of games, including this one, playable on the PC! :D
This is the first Star Wars Trilogy Arcade cabinet I've seen where the logo isn't burned into the screen. =P They really need to do one for the Prequel Trilogy.
@Deokishisu Yeah, the Dreamcast could've handled this game like most Model 3 ports. But Virtua Fighter 3 on DC wasn't really arcade-perfect. Having rushed for the Japanese release without a Versus mode (later fixed in Western releases), the graphics were inferior to the arcade, and Sega handed the game to Genki (developer of Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Daytona USA 2001) instead of AM2. Simply this, they could've done a better job with VF3.
I loved this game, but I never figured out this fight. Maybe the machine was broken or something, but it felk, like it's reversed. Like when i pushed joystick to front, I expected the sword to go down, but it was the other way!
@DarkShadowRage2 did you know the stand up version is only $900.00 and Im trying to get that one if I cant make it to $900.00 maybe you can run it on DEmul emulator or you can run it on MAME
@DarkShadowRage2 They used to be at my movie theater when I was a kid, but then I didn't see it for a while. Last time I saw one was at Disney World's "Disney Quest" arcade. The joystick barely functioned, but it was fun to play a classic. I still couldn't beat Vader though. >_<
I actually managed to get through to the speeder bikes, starting from the trench run on a single credit. This was with a worn out joystick that stuck to the edges. I felt like a god.
i play this all the time and cauze of the loud arcade around me i never new that is what it sounded like. i only play this game in a certan arcade b/c other jackasses put inverted controles in the lightsaber minigames and put a vertical delay AND a corner block in it it. i wish i had this in my game room so i dont Ever hav to wory about that again
There was talk of a Dreamcast port but never happened.
The RAM is 66 MHz? HOLY
Well it is from 1998. Impressive for the time, these were the PS1/N64 days. Some racing games and LA Machineguns and The Oceanhunter used the same kind of hardware, those two were cool!
Arcades have a lot of old games, a lot from 1997-2003.
I think even GC, Xbox, and PS2 did like 10,000,000 triangles per second or more.
GC and Wii have had a lot of SW stuff. Well, so has practically every console.
@horaciosi Sadly, that's because it isn't. Only one authentic VO was ever used: "That armor's too strong for blasters!" in the Hoth mission (Part One).
And for real show-offs, turn off the lightsaber just before you lock blades, then turn it back on just as the red cursor pops up at 0:58. That's for true Dark Side Jedi, because that just burns.
I played this game on a cruise I went on in 5th grade. I was so pumped when I beat Vader. Then after the Vader level there is a level where you ride the millennium falcon and get to blow up with death star. I've only beaten the whole thing once or twice.
I agree with all of you. Could you imagine all that money that Lucasfilms would rake in if they sold this game to the consols. This game is the perfect star wars game just because it follows the original 3 so well. I think we should get an internet petition or something hahah.
I only beat Vader once in this game. I kept screwing up on one of those up/down slashes every single time. Oh well, it was cool to hear, "You are good but you are not a Jedi yet" with the red lightsaber pointing down at you.
Nintendo even has WiiSports Resort (which has that SwordPlay game). Now with WiiMotion Plus the system can now track our motions even better in a 3-D space!
If they made a Wii release of this, Nintendo and Lucasfilm would make a HUGE fortune.
Seriousely though, the differences between arcade games and PC/modern consoles are enormous...the hardware used by arcade machines are so vastly different, a modern console/PC needs to basically pretend to be that arcade system to run the program. So, it's not the program itself, but the system it was designed for.
To make the game available on PC or concoles, the whole game would need a whole redesign.
I was just playing this yesterday, and damn was the joystick stiff. I was hit 50 times on the special stages because of it. I lost on the second deathstar, 3 damn tries it took me before I ran out of points.
A Wii remake of this game would be awesome, especially now that Motion+ is out on the market (and selling quite well I may add, mostly thanks to the fact it comes with Wii Sports Resort).
After playing this game in the theaters, I've decided to make a list of why the Wii can deffinetly handle the game.
1. Graphics: No different from the Conduit,Metroid Prime 3, Gohst Squad(another arcade game by Sega), even Star Wars Rouge Leader
2. Gameplay: In Wii Sports Resort their are games you can fly a plane and swordfight WITHOUT THE AID OF A NUNCHUCK lol. You hold your Wii Mote + like a piolit stick and fire lasers with the trigger. And as for sword fighting come on!!
If anyone wants to play this, you can do it with "Supermodel", a Model 3 emulator in the works. Google for it, you'll need a powerful pc. But a dual core with 3.0ghz will be more than enough at its native resolution. I recommend playing it at 1080p though :P

I think even GC, Xbox, and PS2 did like 10,000,000 triangles per second or more.
GC and Wii have had a lot of SW stuff. Well, so has practically every console.

Also be cool on PSN especially with the Playstation move.
There is a pretty big interest in doing older games through digital distribution these days, on steam or consoles online.

Basically any modern console could run countless circles around
these specs.

U know, when I was younger, my brother and me both thought that vader should at least groan after he takes each shot, espically on the last one

@horaciosi Sadly, that's because it isn't. Only one authentic VO was ever used: "That armor's too strong for blasters!" in the Hoth mission (Part One).

And for real show-offs, turn off the lightsaber just before you lock blades, then turn it back on just as the red cursor pops up at 0:58. That's for true Dark Side Jedi, because that just burns.

I played this game on a cruise I went on in 5th grade. I was so pumped when I beat Vader. Then after the Vader level there is a level where you ride the millennium falcon and get to blow up with death star. I've only beaten the whole thing once or twice.

I agree with all of you. Could you imagine all that money that Lucasfilms would rake in if they sold this game to the consols. This game is the perfect star wars game just because it follows the original 3 so well. I think we should get an internet petition or something hahah.

I only beat Vader once in this game. I kept screwing up on one of those up/down slashes every single time. Oh well, it was cool to hear, "You are good but you are not a Jedi yet" with the red lightsaber pointing down at you.

a Wii version of this game would be welcome of course,but would be so graphically inferior to the arcade version.
Naomi0111 2 years ago
@Naomi0111 Nah, it'd probably very similar graphically. This game is from '98. There's no way the Wii couldn't handle graphics from a decade ago.

Why isn't this game on the Wii yet?
XioXaio12 2 years ago 38
I agree with XioXaio12!
Nintendo even has WiiSports Resort (which has that SwordPlay game). Now with WiiMotion Plus the system can now track our motions even better in a 3-D space!
If they made a Wii release of this, Nintendo and Lucasfilm would make a HUGE fortune.
danc00lz 2 years ago 3
yeah! get this arcade game with wii moniton pluss to wii!
rogerk4 2 years ago
@XioXaio12 Because the Wii just sucks. :)
Seriousely though, the differences between arcade games and PC/modern consoles are enormous...the hardware used by arcade machines are so vastly different, a modern console/PC needs to basically pretend to be that arcade system to run the program. So, it's not the program itself, but the system it was designed for.
To make the game available on PC or concoles, the whole game would need a whole redesign.

A Wii remake of this game would be awesome, especially now that Motion+ is out on the market (and selling quite well I may add, mostly thanks to the fact it comes with Wii Sports Resort).
BloodRedFox2008 2 years ago 2
After playing this game in the theaters, I've decided to make a list of why the Wii can deffinetly handle the game.
1. Graphics: No different from the Conduit,Metroid Prime 3, Gohst Squad(another arcade game by Sega), even Star Wars Rouge Leader
2. Gameplay: In Wii Sports Resort their are games you can fly a plane and swordfight WITHOUT THE AID OF A NUNCHUCK lol. You hold your Wii Mote + like a piolit stick and fire lasers with the trigger. And as for sword fighting come on!!
