# RoadTrip : Star Wars Trilogy Arcade #
« on: April 17, 2006, 12:03:28 PM »
OK... I was looking for 'it' since a while  8)

Since my last London trip where I used to play the game, I was strongly looking to buy one...

Regarding the London trip... :arrow:



8)

... and I finally found one in france, for a reasonable price, regarding the year of that game and its great general condition  :)

Well, here we go with the biggest road trip I ever done (even bigger than the roadtrip done in UK to bring back Star Wars cockpit & Dragon's Lair II)  :arrow:

Thursday evening : I rent this  :arrow:



Huge 'car' for an huge game  :roll:



... It would be great to own one...



Friday - 03h00am

Wake up !

Everything is ready ???



Ok  8)  So let's pick up my -official roadtrip counterpart-  "Burt"  :)  

Let's check the counter before to go... 'coz we'll beat a record today  :roll:



...at the french border...



...fuel... fuel...  :?



...a solution to drive without sleeping ...  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:



... so many hours of driving... and still not at location  :evil:




Finally, we arrive at 11h30 at Nantes, very tired & hungry
 :oops:

So after quicly meet the seller, and check the game, we decided to go to unch before loading the game and return...

This is Burt, tired...  :roll:  :arrow:



And I...

 :wink:



... very good restaurent by the way  :lol:

Ok, go back to the seller... okey, everything is fine... I check once again the game : Test Mode, CRT, sounds, input... ok  :)

Time to load  :arrow:



...stickers are nice...



...huge marquee... more than 50cm high...




...load...



... carefull, carefull...



...very heavy...



1, 2,3 ... 4 guys to do the job  :shock:



...fixing the retroprojector...



... now, take care about the 'control panel / cockpit'  :roll:



...protecting the parts...



... fixing the parts...



...close to the end...  :o



"Photograph Memory"  :D



... and the worst moment...  :?   ... giving the money  :cry:  :roll:  8)



Ok, time to go... so many km to drive...  :?



...strange  drinks  in france...  :D



...stuck ??? Oh no  :twisted:



No... just an alert... tjhe way is clear... we can drive  :o



...close to the Belgian border... yes  :D



... and he we are... at the Nuno's Lair  :D

It's 22h30 pm... to late for unloading the game... We'll do that tomorow...

OK, now stat  :wink:  :



 :arrow: 61205 - 59684 = 1.521 km done  :shock:

 :arrow: since 04h30 am to 22h30 pm = 18h30 on roadtrip  :shock:

OK, so the day afer in the morning...

 :evil: Works on the road behind my house  :evil:  Impossible to unload directly behind the gaming room  :evil:



...we can't use retroprojector's wheels... the way to the Nuno's lair is too bad :cry:  



...it's a true monster... hopefully, the door is big enough  :lol:



...let's continue with the panel / cockpit...



...just remove the coins box, and we can enter it into the lair  :wink:

Ok, so let's quickly plug the thing... I wanna see if everything is fine after that roadtrip  8)

...a lot of molex to plug...



... the coins box ...



...power on  :P  :arrow:



Ok now I've to found a good location into the gaming room for a such monster  :?

After trying different location, I choose to remove the topper, and fix the game like this :








 :lol:

Done this one seven years ago... time flies  :oops:
I've sold that SWTA last year... I would prefer to own the upright version if you ask me, same great game but much smaller in size  :P
