I collected milk bottles at 5c each to get quarters to pump into this machine. The Piggly Wiggly on Meadowbrook Dr Ft Worth Tx ate a lot of my quarters. I think it was 1979, the same summer I saw Alien in the theater. Maybe it was 1980. Anyway, I could never get past level 4 or 5.

Star Castle was originally named Ring War but was renamed to Star Castle to better fit the outer space setting of the game.

Star Castle did not run off of any CPU, 5MHz or otherwise. It used discrete logic in place of a CPU. "Old School".

I remember me and my buddy would spend our lunch on this bad boy.

Yeah that was a lucky shot at 4.42, it was the awesome sound that made it charismatic.

One of my favorite games as well.
