Galloping Ghost Arcade - Game #600

[Crimefighter]

Monday, June 19th, 2017 at 5pm - Galloping Ghost Arcade will reach an important milestone in unveiling game #600 on the arcade floor. While Funspot currently is considered the largest arcade in the world including redemption games, GGA has the largest collection of non-redemption arcade games in one location. What will game #600 be? You'll have to come to the Galloping Ghost to find out. If you cannot attend, don't worry - tune in to the live stream to find out what the game is, and see the regular arcade goers have first crack at it on Twitch -

After the unveiling, a mini-tournament on this game will ensue with the player achieving the highest score of the night by 2:00am closing time will be recognized as the weekly champion and be one step closer in the chase for the 10x Championship. The 10x Championship is a series of weekly contests on Monday Mystery Games where the first player to win ten high score contests in the series will be presented with the 10x Championship title.

So what was game 600?

[schuwalker]

Sega Star Wars

It was Star Wars Arcade, a cockpit cabinet, released in 1993 and you most likely played it on the Sega 32x first.

Very nice find...another rarity that is very difficult to come across in the US

HOnestly, I thought that Star Wars Arcade was a bit of a let down for #600. It would have been great to see I, Robot, Firefox, Astron Belt, Tinkle PIt, , a previously unreleased prototype...

Weird, I've never heard of this game. I'm fully aware of the 80s Star Wars games and that crappy amusement ride masquerading as a game called Star Wars Trilogy, but not the Sega one.

Part of Sega's trilogy of Star Wars Arcade games, when they got the license from Lucasarts after Atari Games was done with Star Wars

Star Wars Arcade was never made for the Sega CD. Its a 32x game.
