Product Information

Because the horizontal and vertical controls are on completely separate pivots, be prepared for some inconsistency in control tension; in our cabinet the up-down tilt of the grips felt notably tighter than the left-right rotation of the yoke. Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back are both vector graphics games that put you in the first-person cockpit of an X-Wing, a snowspeeder, and the Millennium Falcon.

Flying down the Death Star trench and taking down AT-ATs remains challenging, and the ability to start off at much harder waves for huge bonus points keeps the gameplay engaging without forcing you to play through the easy, low-pressure versions of the different waves first.

It makes the game a bit less sharp, but really helps the graphics pop out and make up for the lower contrast. The lines in Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back can only get so bright on an LCD, and the backgrounds can't stay perfectly black. The 3rd game in the trilogy isn't vector based and the graphics haven't ages that well, perhaps the scaling or increased resolution of modern monitors haven't helped. Overall Academic 1up have faithfully recreated pure magic in this machine that in many ways feels superior to the original.

Whether it’s the digitized take on John William’s iconic score or the familiar voice clips — “You’re all clear kid!Therefore will the added height I only have to bend my neck slightly and therefore it's more ergonomic.
