The Force is with you, but you are not a Jedi yet.

Oh, man. I can't count how many times I've heard Darth Vader utter those dreaded words to me in Star Wars Trilogy Arcade.

In SWT:A, you battle Darth Vader as the Penultimate Boss in the game. To beat him, you have to follow on screen arrows to block his Lightsaber Strikes, and after you've blocked enough of them, he'll get stunned, and you have to follow the arrows on screen to slash him. Sound easy? It's not! You have to do it multiple times, and up & down are reversed, so it can get confusing, leading you to lose the fight.

Anyway, after learning today that this game could finally be emulated, I got out my Flight Stick and set it all up, hoping to finally beat Vader.

After reloading my game several times, I finally beat him, and man, did I feel good afterwards! It was tough at first, but I eventually managed to get the idea in my head that up & down were reversed, which allowed me to beat him.

Anyway, even though this game can be emulated, I recommend you seek out the actual Arcade Machine. It's a lot of fun, and it makes you feel like your actually in the Star Wars Universe. Cheesy

Holy freakin' crap, do I hafta try this bad boy out.

@Zagnorch:

If you actually find one and play it, let me know how you do at it.
 
Our local theater has this cab. Other than DDR its the only one they have worth playing. I've tried it out a couple times. Its a blast. Never made it to Vader though. Usually only bring enough cash for a single credit.
 
I've played this one through to the end a few times.  It is pretty fun.
