Looks good but simple. I remember the original StarblAde game well. Excellent arcade machine. Huge 4 player. I believe I had the PS1 version as well which was average. I seem to recall them doing a sequel on the arcade that was even better.

I can't remember the last time I was in an arcade. They still exist?

I would kill for a console release of the Trilogy arcade game that was out years ago.

The Wii U has really missed the boat by not making a great Star Wars lightsaber game.

Very few. Now arcade games mainly pop up in movie theaters, bowling alleys and most prominently Dave and Busters restaurants.

I always wanted a full cockpit version of something like X-Wing or Tie Fighter. On-rails isn't quite as good but it would still be a blast to give this a try.

Japan still has a huge arcade scene, and I know in LA there are one or two Asian arcades that get games that are never released here in the States.
