Even though I prefer PC games there was one arcade game I never could get enough of.Remember the sit-in version of Star Wars? I bought and played damn near every Lucas Arts Star Wars game for the PC and there was no PC equivilant.Sure there was a blow up the death star mission but is wasn't the same, the graphics were totally different.So do any of you arcade enthusiasts know where I could find a PC version of this classic?I haven't seen it re-released in any of the Atari Arcade Packs.

Click the link below and read the article. Also, scroll down and look at the screenshots - that should tell you whether that's the Star Wars "Arcade Game" which you seek (there have been several SW arcade machines over the years).

The author mentions the bonus disk being included with the GameCube version of RSIII - I'm not sure if it was packaged with the PC version. As pointed out in the linked article, for PC play, the MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) software is still the way to go, but you've got to track down the ROM file for that game (possession of which is, of course, illegal).

Not exactly what you are looking for, but a fun free game nonetheless:
