The Last Starfighter arcade cabinet

Filed under:

For those that grew up with even a vague interest in video games, the movie to watch was The Last Starfighter. Ironically enough, the game to go with the film was never published or put into the arcade cabinet form, although it turns out Atari did produce a polished and final version. Now the game has been made complete thanks to the work of an extremely talented cabinet designer who refurbished the cabinet shown in a documentary of the film. It looks almost indistinguishable from the film version: damn what we woulda’ given to play one of these back in the day! You can even download a full version of the game used in the cabinet in a convenient executable file, free of charge.
