Star Wars: The Arcade Game, Atari 5200, Parker Brothers 1983, Cartridge and Box Only, Tested
This belonged to my brother, who bought all his video games from retailers, and this was stored in one of his spare rooms for the past 30-40 years in a box marked - Checked
This has been tested and it loaded up and played well.
Based on the condition of the cartridge and the instructions it doesn't appear that this was used beyond an initial check and just being tested and if it was used beyond this it probably wasn't used more than a few times.
Description:
Star Wars is a first-person shooter based around the final scenes of the original Star Wars film. It first appeared for arcade coin-operated machines and was subsequently converted to other gaming platforms.
You take on the role of Luke Skywalker, aiming to destroy the Death Star. In the first phase you have to pass swarms of TIE Fighters, including dogfighting the one piloted by Darth Vader himself. In the second phase the station's surface is protected by laser towers, third involves attacking its weakest spot - the unprotected exhaust port - with proton torpedos. Your X-Wing starts with six shields, but more can be awarded for good performance. Complete the game and it loops back around at ever-increasing difficulty.
The game uses vector graphics, which allow lots of action at high speed on comparatively slow systems.
Condition: Please See Photos
The Cartridge is in Very Good Condition, there are no cracks or chips in the case, the label is clean and the contacts are all clean and shiny.
The Box is in Somewhat OK Condition with some shelf / storage wear. The back of the box has been pushed in so there are dents with creases. There are a few scuffs along with some edge and corner wear.

The game will be packed well and shipped via USPS Priority Mail.
