The Pinball post and subsequent comments triggered a memory of a family friend who at one time was a freelance arcade game repairman.  His basement was filled with all sorts of machines he had nursed back to health, as well as a couple that stood only for show and had been gutted to provide parts.  Anyway, there was this one game he had that I have never seen anywhere else, and despite searching near and far have never found any information on.  What is most surprising about that is that it was a Star Wars game, so you would think that it would be well documented on the fanboy friendly web.  Have you ever heard of this game?

Basically the game was a small console that stood on the floor, with a control yoke and a weapons trigger attached to it.  Above the yoke was a medium sized flat projection screen.  The console straddled the user while they were seated, very similar to those toddler playsets with the steering wheel.  The gameplay incorporated actual film loops from Star Wars of flying TIE fighters engaging in battle.  The film clips were interactive though, and you could fire lasers to try and destroy the TIEs.  If you landed a shot, the TIE would erupt into a fabulous fireball and the next TIE would appear.

Any geeks out there with any knowledge of what I’m talking about?
