Long forgotten, the movie The Last Starfighter was suppose to have a videogame tie in that never came around. The "cabinet" (seen above) was viewed as too costly to produce and sell for a profit, so it was scrapped. Apparently, the cabinet prop used in the film was destroyed over time but someone was able to purchase the new one made for the documentary shown on the DVD (hosted by Lance Guest!)




Apparently, theres now a download of the long missing game. I found a diagnostic/config menu by hitting zero. The 5 key inserts a coin, and spacebar (fire) gets you right into the game. You can use a combination of the arrow keys and the mouse to get a two-joystick feel.




VICTORY OR DEATH!
