Content

For the first time in its 11 plus year history, Cane and Rinse covers a game based upon the popular space opera franchise, Star Wars. Leon, Chris Worthington, Tony and guest Dean Swain of The Retro Asylum podcast climb into the less than comfy X-Wing cockpit for a blast of Atari's 1983 vector graphics arcade smash. As usual the panel and community contributors attempt to sum up what made the experience so special 40 years ago, but also discuss which aspects of the game hold up to this day - as well as a look at the myriad conversions, ports and emulations that allowed folks to 'be' Luke Skywalker in the comfort of their own bedrooms.Edit by Jay Taylor

Really fun listen, great vibe on this one. I've only briefly played this at a local barcade once and remember dying pretty fast, but always neat to see vector graphics in the wild.

Mentioning Star Fox in this episode jogged a memory loose of my brother and me regularly playing through that game with the Star Wars soundtrack playing on the boombox we had. Great times. I think the only time I ever saw this arcade machine out in the wild was going to a local pizza place in the early 90s, mainly because we knew it was the only place in town with a Street Fighter 2 machine, and finding a sit down unit tucked away in the corner of the small room that served as the "arcade". I had to play it... and I either sucked at it or the controls were broken from years of use (probably a combination of both). Those vector graphics still looked great to my mind even nearing a decade on.

Good episode! I haven’t had too much experience with arcade games in my life, but by chance, I have actually played this one! It’s the only arcade machine in a small dive bar and sandwich shop I like to visit in lower Manhattan. and it doesn’t require any quarters! You can play it until your fingers fall off, or the bar closes, whichever comes first. It’s a long shot and I don’t know how many Cane and Rinsers are in the NYC area, but if anybody wants to play Star Wars for free, visit Joey Rose’s (also have a sandwich and/or drink, the owner and staff are good people).

This is a whole period of gaming I never experienced (based on age and growing up in a small town in Ireland - the closest thing we had to an arcade was a Pac-Man machine in the local Chinese) Really enjoyed the discussion all the same and great guest panelist’s.
