A story at Hollywood in Toto claims ‘The Last Starfighter’ – Still the Best Video Game Movie, and I cannot argue with the premise as I have logically proven The Last Starfighter is better than Star Wars.
However, I cannot trust any of the authors facts or assertions since he says:
Some helpful exposition clearly explains how the arcade game [The Last Starfighter] works (it’s one of those fun shoot-em-ups with multiple joysticks, a la “Centipede”).
Sweet peas and chicks, Centipede is played with a track ball and fire button.
But I guess not everyone has the advantage of a local arcade with original machines so one could actually have played the game in the last seven months.
