Cabinet Information

The sides of the cabinet show a large starship, very much like a Star Destroyer from Star Wars, with a gun turret in its belly. Three fighter ships are attacking the starship and one fighter is being shot at by lasers from the gun turret.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Trivia

This game is basically Tail Gunner in a cockpit cabinet.
