With Star Wars VII all go now ....*surely* another Star Wars pin will happen. Imagine what JJack or another cracking Stern/Steve Ritchie effort could do with the license :rockon:


The SW pins we have had so far have fallen a bit short of what could of been.

Empire Strikes Back (Hankin 1980) - never played one, but don't read great things about it

Star Wars (Data East 1992) - *Ok* DE effort. Sounds like the recent software update though has improved gameplay.

Star Wars Trilogy (Sega 1997) - Nothing great but I actually quite like it.

Star Wars Episode One (Williams 1999) - Oh dear god uke:, as bad as the film Jedi musical chairs mode anyone ?!?

Is SWEP1 really that bad? Never played it but always wanted to have the option of sticking the playfield etc in my RFM. Are we talking worse than Gilligans Island or Super Mario Bros? Never actually seen any of the last 3 SW films so don't really understand the hatred for Mr Binks.

Yes ...it is that bad. Has about 4 really simple shots. Thats it. Add to that the irritating, repetitive video clips from the worst Star Wars film and its a nightmare in pinball form. RFM is waaaaaay better.

Ahh, 4 simple shots. Probably 2 shots more than I could cope with:Cry:
