[QUOTE="Edan-Grossman, post: 111744, member: 1989"] In the 90's, I would play the star wars trilogy at Chuck E Cheese. My parents would always grab me a stool to step up on, so my head would be above the playfield glass. I recently played a star wars trilogy machine, and it immediately hit me with my childhood memories. Playing it now as an adult, I realize that this game is only decent and not great, even for its time. Despite all that, plus its shallow ruleset, and repetitive gameplay, I still enjoy it a lot and would definitely be interested in owning one someday, because it was THE game I played as a child, and it was THE game that got me into pinball. I recently went to that same CEC with a young relative (probably about my age when I went there) and they didn't have any pinball machines. Most of their games were ticket redemption games, but they still had the ski ball lanes and basketball games. I remembered where the star wars pinball machine was located and it seems to have been replaced by a redemption game. I think CEC was much better in the 90's than today. My most memorable part of playing star wars trilogy was firing the ball from the x-wing through the tie fighter drop targets and blowing up the death star. I thought it was brilliant how that game tied in the dmd video with x-wing ball cannon and the most memorable scene of that movie. [/QUOTE]
