I wonder how the (curved) screen works? Is it projected? From the back or the front?

Hmmm, this gives me an idea for a not too expensive flight/f1/etc simulator...

Probably a projector. Found this "Immersa-Screen" dev.

"This equipment and projector is available for PC and Playstation games as well as running Flight Simulation software packages."

Its a projector, basically you sit like 2 feet from the center of the dome, so the screen kinda wraps around you. In the jet game, going fast and getting close to buildings gave me a little bit of vertigo

Drool! I look forward to it being added to MAME in a few years. Simulating that dome will be no trouble when we all have holographic TVs and cybernetic implants...

Just dropped my daughter off at the local bowling alley for a kids party. I scoped out the arcade and found this game "Lost Land Adventure" which is another projection game with a domed screen.

Then on the way out I found the Star Wars game as well. I love the controls, but 2 issues at least for me. It's £2.00 a go and I watch the attract mode for 30 seconds and felt the old nausea coming on :(

Anyway I'm going back to collect her shortly so I might have a go.

I really want the play the old Atari Star Wars site down cab.

Quick update.

Well I'm obviously more of a Porkins than a Skywalker, as I didn't manage to destroy the Deathstar on my first attempt.

However while my daughter was playing a piece of that very expensive machine fell off. LOL.

Great game though, I did like the launch from the hanger bay, just wish it was on free play.

a place by me has the star wars machine but i havent had the time to go by there yet. You owe it to your HS brothers to give us an arcade tour

There isn't much there and I did consider it but it's damn noisy, which an arcade should be, but there was all the bowling noise on top so I couldn't speak over the video.

I may go back when it's quieter.
