The game above is an orignal STAR WARS cockpit game & I loved it when I was a bit younger...

Forget pinball machines Never liked most electronic games Have never been much for computer stuff I’m not putting any one game in particular down Just most were not a part of life in my scene’s… But one did strike a cord Never allowing me to get bored Every quarter I could find into this machine I did pour As well it was thirty miles from home Who knows, maybe with someone I could score… I would play this game from noon till night The arcade manager was cool & understood my plight Not many others liked it but me, to keep it I did fight But like all things it got replaced one day And taken, unfortunately, from my sight… If I could find it again, I would try to buy it If only I had a place to keep it I remember when away they took it Even at twenty-five I threw a tantrum like fit… It was like flying a Star Wars X-wing fighter Being in space, than air much lighter Someday still, for myself I may find one More then did I have, like I would now Great amounts of un-ending fun…J © ed J 6/27/08

At 25 years of age, my brother threw a hissy fit over an arcade game??!! Wow.

May The Force be with you Jersey Skywalker in both finding, and purchasing, your very own Star Wars Game. And may Yoda Rufuz help you in your epic quest.

You kid, you! I remember that one. It wasn't a game; it was a way of life. There are a few of them still around (too expensive for anyone except Darth Vader to buy). Here's a bit of nostalgia for you:

Tom always wanted a pin ball machine, but they cost high money and I did not have it to buy him one.
