E3 Star wars sitdown!!

 Arcade classics remembered by older generation of gamers

In the lower level of E3, there's a booth where you'll find several time machines. Relics of the long past arcade age are being played by those who grew up with them.

Bill Watson, who travelled from Singapore to be at E3, remembers the old days of college and the video game arcade era. Even after walking around the convention all day, he find himself in the kiosk of a Star Wars X-Wing game.


Bill Watson from Singapore came to E3 and found himself playing an old favorite of his, the Star Wars X-Wing game despite all of the new technology and games on display.

"We came back to the one we played 20 years ago," Watson said.

As bright, neon colored vector lines race across the screen, a steering wheel moves the targeting cursor to cut down TIE fighters and attack the Death Star. The graphics look less advanced than the CGI in the movie Tron, but that doesn't stop the excitement and joy of playing this arcade classic.

Yep, that's at the Digital Press exhibit... it's a really NICE one, too.
