23 years later: the Starfighter Arcade game (From The Last Starfighter)

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

A company called Rogue Synapse re-created the actual "Starfighter" game that was seen in the movie. Atari was supposed to bring the game to the arcades, but was never able to complete it, most likely due to the technological limitations of the computers back then. After they completed it, they were nice enough to make it a free download.


Here's the link to the company that did the game and cabinet.

And finally, a picture of the cabinet.


Now that's either a love of nostalgia or too much time on your hands. Probably both, but it's still amazing.
