One Amazon shopper, R.G. wrote: “Many years ago, I became the owner of a Bespoke Arcades cocktail cabinet - which was great for many games, but not those with specialist controllers, like track-balls, wheels and the like. So, many of my faves were catered for, but not Star Wars from 1983 - until now...
“Yes, it's a bit pricey compared to other cabinets with more games on them (blame Disney/Lucasfilm I guess for the licence fee) but this is a brilliant, modern compromise if you lusted after an original stand-up or sit-down cabinet after playing the 1983 original.”
The three games included in the cabinet are Star Wars, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. And it has a flight cloche with 4 firing triggers.
You can pick up the Star Wars arcade machine in Amazon’s Gaming Week and get 30% off right now. Our recommendation matrix gave it a score of 5.66.
