Q: Is an ESB kit worth it?
Depends on what you expect of it.
Generally SW is regarded as the better game of the two. However, it's always cool to have more games on one cab (as long as it's original).
The single most asked question I get from people who don't know about classic arcade games is: So, what other games does it play ?..........
The one thing that ESB misses compared to SW is something like the Death Star exploding. There seems to be no "end" goal. Also, some people don't like the "Asteroids" level as they can't be shot (only dodged).
I thought it was a good addition to my cab. I like ESB too. The walkers level is the best of the game. And it's still cool to see the Darth Vader screen.
Anyway, I had always wanted to add this. It wasn't on the top of my priority list, but I got this as a favor back for repairing Luc's SW cabs (and installing two of these kits on his machines
).
