Heh, yeah, some of those original Star Wars games were mind blowers. There was a sit down arcade game back then made by Williams, I cannot for the life of me remember the name, but it allowed you to pilot an X Wing fighter and it had a way cool X Wing joystick with it, and what were at the time cutting edge vector graphics. I spent many a quarter in that bad boy. Anybody remember Dig Dug? That would make an interesting accessible game. Nothing quite like puffing up alligators with air until they pop like a cockroach in a microwave... Um, not that I ever did that or anything, grin.
