The Last Starfighter

Back in 1984, do you recall playing Starfighter at your local arcade parlour and then getting excited when it appeared in your favourite movie, The Last Starfighter? No, it doesn’t ring a bell? Of course it doesn’t, the arcade game from the movie was never a reality, or was it?

Rogue Synapse can make this dream a reality – your very own Starfighter arcade machine, just like in the movie. Become Alex Rogan and fly off to Rylos to defend the frontier from the evil Xur and the Koh-Dan Armada. You may need to speak to your bank manager beforehand.
