Original Star Wars cockpit arcade spotted in Bristol....

scooternick · Dec 15, 2019

Hi. I took my daughter to 'Barcade' in Bristol, near Millenium Sq. It's a pop up vintage arcade open until Feb. £6 per hour or £5 for kids - all inclusive. The reason I'm posting this is because it has the original SW cockpit game, amongst others! Also has ROTJ, Turtles, Indiana Jones, SF2 and more. If you are in the area it might be worth a trip (just for the cockpit game alone!).

Yep, it's a classic and playability surprisingly good for its age (circus 1983 I think)

Used to love a few games of this in the arcades on the way home from school, spending what was supposed to be my lunch money

, the stand up version just wasn't the same.

Also when I was older a wine bar I used to go to (it was the 80's 8)) had a pool room and a few arcade games including the Jedi game, I was never very good at that one though. Happy days

Wow, that can't have been easy getting it in their house!

There used to be one in Weston pier (until the pier burned down due to an "electrical fault" IIRC)

I loved that thing. It survived to the late nineties I think...
