      Hi,
      The original Atari Arcade game was only ever 75% finished sadly...
      I've just found out there's a fan made arcade version which looks pretty cool... I was just wondering is it possible to play it on Retropie?
      I have the last star fighter in my imported arcade list but it doesn't work.
      Me and my brother still love the 1984 movie... It would be great to show him the game on my Arcade cab!
      Does anyone know much about it?

        If you're referring to the fan-made Starfighter game, it's not an arcade ROM. It was programmed for the PC. (Extract the .zip file, and you'll see the .EXE file) Not sure, but it may work under DOSbox.

          It would require Windows. There's always the unreleased Atari800/5200 prototype. It's not nearly screen-accurate, but it is completely period-accurate and obviously the home version that Atari planned to release.
