These games were always turned up so loud in the arcade. I loved it!

I love this channel. I've been officially diagnosed as mentally disabled recently, battling with a f***ing horrible anxiety disorder. I've never experienced anything like this before in my entire life, I've even been hospitalized, thinking that I was having a heart attack. I had no idea, the physical effects of that crap. Well, these videos have really helped me relax when I really needed it. I love video games. You're awesome, Patman, thank you so much! I'm also so glad to be a member of your patreon. Life is an absolute war sometimes, I know that you also know this. We're all soldiers fighting through this big mess. I'm proud to be fighting along side with you, and I've got your back out there. Respect.

What do you mean the pod racing scene was the best part of Episode 1? It's only because Sega were folish enough not to make a game where they're in open discussion negociating the trade embargo. Its what all the kids loved about Star Wars after all!!! :D

Star Wars Arcade for 32X was the first 32bit game I ever played! At the time I was so blown away. I was only 7 but I still remember the way it made me feel on first impression. It was my first 3D gaming experience. My neighbor and I had Genesis, and then one day his parents brought home a 32X, I had no idea games could be that way, especially at home. Would love to try the original arcade sometime, it looks like a decent step up.

"A mad-on for Tuscan Raiders"? There went my drink all over the screen.

I played the crap out of the star wars trilogy game. It was at the movie theater that I worked at, but many $$ later I still couldn't beat Vader. It was a weird control scheme using a flight stick as you're light saber. Great watch either way!!

PatManQC just made my weekend!

Another quality vid about many of my favorite subjects! Well done. Cheers!

I'm glad to have discovered this channel, though I didn't get to go to them very often, arcades left a massive impression on me in my youth and the death of the arcade scene here in the UK is a crying shame to me. So to find a channel dedicated to the machines that ate up so much of my holiday money and the other bits I could borrow when we visited the seaside is almost as good as being able to get into one in adulthood. My current circumstances mean I am unable to support you efforts, but as soon as that comes to an end I'll doubtlessly pop my patreon cherry on ensuring that the history and memories of those blissful days stays alive.

Another great video helping us all through 2020, many thanks Patman. Putting in a special request for a best of compilation of your real bowling videos, seen some amazing strikes and some even more amazing spares in some of your old videos, they deserve more views.

i haven't even watched it yet, but i want to let you know in advance, on what a riveting yet equally educational video this is. You are spot on again with this one, you always leave us wanting more. i would love to re-dub all the narrator vocals in " the Wonder Years" and replace it with your voice. keep up what you are doing, as your vids shed light in these dark time. God's speed Pat !

Oh man! This brings back SO MUCH MEMORIES! Funny enough i saw, played and finished all these Star Wars games in the Pizza Planet fast food restaurant in Disney MGM Studios (now Hollywood) . The Sega first arcade game was very hard and i was like 8 years, I was the gunner and an unknown player was the pilot, he was like twice my age, we both sucked at it and he sugested me to switch places, we finished the game because of it. The Trilogy Arcade is one my favorite games of all time. And I really hate it hasnt been ported, I hope Arcade Up manages to make a deal with both Disney and Sega in order to get this one at home (not a fan a emulators but I get their purpose). Thanks again for this video :) keep up the good work!

I love Star Wars and Sega's Star Wars Trilogy is indeed awesome, but my favorite will always be Atari's old vector arcade game. First video game I ever played nearly 40 years ago! As always, great video and keep up the great work!

I definitely played the last 2 of the arcade games, but never had the chance to play the first one that I wanted to so bad back in the day. Funny thing about the Arcade Trilogy one was that I nearly had the game memorized, but somehow, I always messed up in some capacity for episode 6, thus ending my 1 credit run. I always tried to beat a lot of the games back in the day in just 1 actual credit (i.e light gun shooters like House of the Dead, Lethal Enforcers and even the Time Crisis series for examples). This has been a great channel and love being able to watch the memories come back from playing these games.

I absolutely love these games, great video.

Great vid. Tons of memories of these and the other classics like Empire on the 2600

I love the videos and your work however just a correction: the sega arcade episode 1 racer is only similar in name to the n64/Dreamcast episode 1 racer game. The home version is not a port of the arcade and is not made by sega. The arcade version is very different because it was controlled by two thruster levers that you pushed or pulled forward or back and you would turn by pulling back on one and the seat would move accordingly. Its a fantastic experience and I'm happy to have played it once years ago. They are pretty hard to find these days.

Here in Argentina we got the chance to play only the Trilogy Arcade, I played a lot in the arcades and searched for ages for a proper emulator until I found it two or three years ago. Amazing video Patman!!!

Ah, the trilogy arcade... The quarters I spent, and hours I poured into this game. Such childhood memories!!

As always great job!

Those arcades are awesome. Great job with the vid! 👍

Theres a working star wars trilogy like 20 mins from my house. It still kicks ass

Starwars trilogy has always been a dream machine for me. Great video.

Great Video. I LOVED this game!

3 awesome amazing games! Great vid. Sw battle pod dome was cool too

I love your content it is superb! You could honestly get away with more adds in your videos because you seriously have very little compared to every other channel I watch.

So nostalgic! Thank you!

Good vid as always

I played and finished Star Wars Trilogy Arcade back in the day, and what a trip it was! And I'm very glad I did, not just because of the awesome experience, but because I don't remember it staying long at the local arcades I used to go. Ah, the good ol' days =)

This video had me at, "it's a tarp!" 😂😆🤣

The second Star Wars arcade game i played the first scenario. Only the cab i played was a stand up at the arcade section of a restaurant/bar. The place also had a Neo Geo arcade cab with three games which included Metal Slug 2 always enjoy playing up. Now Im tempted to go back and see if they still have these arcade games.

Love the vector games. Anyway just noticed I hadn't subscribed yet I watch all these, they're like a saturday morning show for retro gamers :D

Patman, Ive never seen these! Thank you!

Great video. I would have loved to play this as I am a big Star Wars fan.

When my kids were younger I would take them to Chuck E Cheese so I could play Star Wars Trilogy Arcade

Thanks for the video! I have good memories of playing the vector graphics Star Wars game on the C=64 and Amiga

I remember seeing the Star Wars trilogy game in movie theater arcades. During the Endor stage, a rebel on the communicator would say, "Don't shoot our own men!" I would immediately use rapid fire to shoot every single ewok that I could see, increasing my Dark Side lvl. Awesome video, PatmanQC!

That first 3D Star Wars arcade game in this video is incredible. If i grew up playing that it would blow my mind

Star Wars Trilogy arcade was a crowd-puller. Used to be a Timezone arcade on Swanston St I remember people watching me play it (used to be an arcade on every block almost at one time in Melbourne).

I loved the Trilogy arcade. I always played it at a local arcade back in the day XD

This video is simply awesome! Thank you patman! Just like beggars canyon back home!

As usual, good job sir. I never had the chance to experience these in the arcade. I did play SWA on the 32x, and to be honest, was kind of harsh on it. Although I liked the graphics, and was quite impressed with the audio, my general thought was: "I'd rather be playing Starfox" I had fun with SW Ep1 Racer on both the N64 and Dreamcast. The sense of speed was almost overwhelming at times. Had no idea the first 2 cabinets were so rare, but it jives with having seen them.

Trilogy is one of my favorite arcade games of all time!

Dude... Star Wars Trilogy was METAL!!!! I LOVED that game growing up. I always seemed to dig in the Endor Level a lot too. I freakin' LOVE this channel. Always showing my childhood, always love watching what I'm seeing. Good work, My Dude. California LOVES this channel.

This channel soothes my sick day in bed. Thanks for the amazing content

Awesome video 👍

Incredible how good graphics were already by this stage

I played the original Star Wars arcade game with the sit in cockpit at a gaming convention 11 years ago. It was a fantastic experience. I really want to play the Super Star Wars games. I loved playing the Lego Star Wars and Battlefront games growing up too but I always felt more could be added to them.

Star Wars Trilogy Arcade was my favorite. Disneyland had it in Flynn’s Arcade by the Star Trader. My family used to get mad that I’d just sit there and play while they waited in line to ride Space Mountain. We never really had good arcades in our town so that was what I looked forward too. If any of y'all remember seeing JPM at the top of the scores that was me :) I always wanted to play the full size Pod Racer cabinet. I only ever would find the smaller seat ones that didn’t have the fully molded pod.

i remember some years ago, a movie theater closeby had the Star Wars Arcade machine and i almost missed the start of sooo many movies because my brother and I would always play it

SW arcade trilogy is one of my fave games. My local seaside arcade had this game and the entire highsore table had my initials.

FANTASTIC!

God I love that 1953 version of War of the Worlds. I've played Star Wars Racer but would love to try the Star Wars Trilogy game.

I used to frequent a barcade that had Star Wars Trilogy! It was an absolute blast.

Star Wars Trilogy Arcade is My GOAT Arcade Game!! I know all the nooks and crannies in that little nutter butter and always remember getting nervous with the final moments of destroying the Death Star, to strike the door at the Hoth escape before hitting those damn strong Wampas and after too, to hit those action buttons when ready (send in the X-Wings on those freaking Tie Fighters when ready, send down an Ewok onto a Stormtrooper on Endor, and push the button after Vader was defeated with me (which next to never happening when I played those little crab nuts) to hear the Emperor say "So be it Jedi"), and I never got my big goal of being on the High Score of a major arcade with those machines (at one point, I'd be damned if I saw an arcade with games from the mid 90s to the early 00s without it), but I played those games damn near religiously when I saw it! Even my dad was a coach for the game (I'm technically not kidding)! I actually played Star Wars Episode I Racer in person, but I sucked at the controls (Maybe it's my little young gamer peanut sized brain that was confused AF with the system, but If I ever play it again, I can truly experience how Pod Racing TRULY is with this being the GOAT version of Star Wars Pod Racing games). I sadly only played the OG Sega Star Wars Arcade on the 32X (on an Emulator no less), and it kinda was this free roaming Star Fox Style Polygon Ship Shooter, and It was one of the better 32X games, but that's not saying much. For a grand, long Time, I was in a massive Star Wars Phase since a young age until the mid 2000s, and it was just a major piece of my Preteen Years along with the DS, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Lego.

I am surprised you didn't talk about Return of the Jedi arcade game that was where you would just ride a speeder bike and just avoid hazards. I saw it once and played at this arcade in a camping site place. It also had the arcade Ninja Gaiden game as well. Love your channel by the way.

Man, I can remember the rumble on the Trilogy game clearly. Especially in the Hoth Escape level, it was a pretty powerful jolt whenever you fired, especially when you hit a snow trooper.

I just ran across "StarWars battle pod" game at an arcade near me. It's basically the same as these games but upgraded a bit. Worth the money to try out👍🏻

I’ve played Star Wars Trilogy Arcade a lot back in the day, and I consider it as my #1 favorite arcade game.

Love the video man! Remember the Jurassic Park arcade games!?

I kind of expected that Harrison Ford would back out. He's always made it clear that he's trying to distance himself from Star Wars.

I only got to play Star Wars arcade trilogy a couple of times back in 2002 at the movie theater during the 3 times I went to see Attack of the Clones. It is an awesome game!

My friend has the trilogy arcade in his basement. It's still super fun to play.

Star Wars Trilogy was my jam! The key to success was tapping the trigger to maximize your rate of fire. It was also notable to me because the joystick was responsive. You felt the resistance when fighting Vader, for example. That feature didn't always survive. :D

I remember the 1998 SW Arcade at a local movie theater that my late wife would play when we would attend a movie & at the Beach in SOuth Carolina.I vaguely remember the Pod Racer Episode 1 game was out.I would be shocked if I would see those games in the “wild” unless at a arcade museum I hope to visit in the future.I ❤️ the video.I admit I more of a fan of the 83 SW Arcade.

I remember pumping tokens into the Star Wars Trilogy cabinet in 2000 at the miniature golf place near where I lived at the time.

Holy mandela effect!!!! I have never seen any of these. Wow.

Awesome 👍👍

Okay, while I appreciate the effort, a few corrections/bits of feedback are in order: - "Tear-as Kaz-ee" - Yoda Stories was actually one of the more fondly remembered eccentricities of the franchise, whereas Super Star Wars was a masochistic nightmare. Plus, in the examples given, it feels like there's an implication the 00s era was some sort of dark time for Star Wars games, even though that was the period were got titles like KOTOR, Republic Commando, Bounty Hunter, Battlefront, etc.? - The home console podracing game is nothing like the arcade version. The arcade game is primarily first-person, far more unforgiving, such as a time limit, and only features a handful of courses. The home console release was an entirely different engine with substantially more content. Even in terms of style of racing game, the home console game to resemble the arcade version is actually the PS2-exclusive sequel, Racer's Revenge. - The remaster of Episode 1 Racer came to all systems, not just PlayStation and Switch. There was also a GOG re-release.

There used to be an original Sega Star Wars in the Brewdog pub in Shepherds Bush, London but I'm not sure whether it's still there now. Patman I doubt you will ever cover my favourite 80's game Burnin' Rubber (aka Bump 'N' Jump) but I hope you are working your way around to Battlezone one day. Those two and Galaga were the holy trilogy of the early eighties for me.

Played SW trilogy and racer in the arcade but never saw the first release in the flesh.. great fun

I remember 3 friends & I playn the racing game. We mainly raced each other since getting 1st was hell for average players like us, dam tight turns & runnerbanding

As a kid a local roller rink had the deluxe Trilogy cab. That game is fantastic.

SW: The Original Trilogy Arcade game is still fantastic. I would highly recommend this out of the 3 arcades mentioned in this video.

Isn't there a version of Star Wars Arcade on the 32X? Great video, again. :)

Loves these videos, great job!!!

Awesome coverage. I actually own the Star Wars Arcade Trilogy machine. I got it for free, as the company I work for was going to throw it out. I know. WTF Indeed. Unfortunately before I worked there, some Nerf Herder removed the 50" screen tv section and ran the video on a wall with a projector. The best i'm going to be able to do, once I get it out of storage, is run a 50" flat panel on it. I got sent to one of our stores in Chicago, and they had two Arcade Trilogy and two linked Pod Racer arcade, both still intact.

Pod racer was available for the MacOS as well.

Star Wars Trilogy Arcade is one of the best games ever created. Wish I owned one.

Star Wars Trilogy has a stand up version which I played just last year at Rec Room in Toronto. Decent game.

I won’t hear a bad word said about yoda stories, it was an amazing piece of game engineering, a randomly generated Zelda style adventure that’s full of humor and Easter eggs and designed to be playable on any windows computer and sold at bargain. Maybe it seems primitive now, but I’ll always remember it fondly.

Cranking out videos. Awesome

My stepfather passed away this year and he was a star wars fan and I will play those star wars arcade games in his memory.

I played the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade at Dave and Buster's (RIP) in 2001. It was kinda easy, but you got your money's worth because it was long and the ease of play meant you got to experience the game rather than blast through missions and wonder afterward what you saw.

I love star wars arcade spent my fair share of pounds on them as a kid and if I go into an arcade and see the cabinet it makes me feel like a kid and gives me goosebumps

I played both Atari Star Wars arcade games back-in-the-day. A shame the second Sega arcade game was never ported to anything. I have Star Wars Arcade for the 32X (bought it at Toys 'R US for $7) and Star Wars Episode 1 Racer for the Dreamcast. When Williams released the Star Wars Episode 1 pinball machine I played it a lot at the arcade.

Leave the Droids... take the cannoli’s 😂

I remember playing the Star Wars Trilogy at the Ocean City, NJ arcades.

Here in Brazil I never seen any of these cabinets. It would be awesome!

I remember star wars in the arecade. That second game had a feature that if you beat the game, it would restart. Fun time

This is one game that deserves a HD remaster the Arcade/32x one

Sega Star Wars! Yeah! Love the jump to hyperspace!

Oh no... hearing you say the name of the characters in Star Wars Racer made me realise your voice is just like the announcer of the race in the movie.

I didn't know about the third game "Star Wars Pod racer". And that it was on Nintendo switch? I need to check that out!👍✌

I still have my _Star Wars Arcade_ for the 32X. 🤘

You stumbled a bit there with the info: Sega's Star Wars Racer is a much different game than LucasArts' Star Wars Episode 1 Racer. EDIT: But never mind that; I can see there are a few comments that pointed that out already. My bad for being redundant. Everything else was top-notch as usual though ;) Ya really gave these 3 the treatment they deserved, man. Seeing them all again in all their awesome glory just makes me wish more people talked about 'em. I freakin' played Sega's Racer game to death back in the day; that arcade cab _was amazing_ to hop into when it was available at an arcade in the local mall back in the day. I absolutely love that they opted for the same controls seen in the movie; just a thruster for your left and right engine. Crank them both all the way up to go forward, pull back on left and crank the right up to turn left and vice versa to turn right - it is probably the most immersive gaming experience I've ever had! Even if its playable in MAME nowadays, you just can't replicate that. If I had a ton of disposable income, I'd get a Star Wars racer arcade cab off of eBay :D

A trip to the moon goes perfectly with Pink Floyd echos. Like it’s the soundtrack for it. Maybe it is!

6:40 Useless fact I know, but I work at the company in the UK that used to make Sega arcade machines, then we'd ship them to the USA. Back in the day we even had game testers, where your job was basically to play the machines after they were built to make sure they worked!

I love your video but you forgot one, the Star Wars POD 360. Mostly available to play at large casinos.

I LOVE Star wars Trilogy :D
