Yes, it was a "soft" movie my friend...and I agree, that like 'Robocop,' 'Last Starfighter' won't ever look much better than it does right now...however, as I'm sure you're probably well aware, coming from the same source material, both the Blu version (as well as the 25th anniversary DVD) were wiped clean with a heavy dose of that 'monster' we refer to as DNR, and while I'm happy to own the Blu, I still cannot part with my 1999 collector's edition DVD...

I'm a geek, I know.

That's hilarious! I was just playing it last night, no joke! I've had that roguesynapse 'Starfighter' download since it came out just a couple of years ago. I cannot tell you how euphoric it felt to finally have been able to play the game I had dreamed of since I was a kid! At first I thought the game was unbeatable (unless you messed with the 'options' in the menu), but I've since beaten it several times without using any of the 'cheats'...One of my favorite games, as I'm a geek in that sense too, though I don't have the time and/or money right now, to build my own arcade cabinet...but I probably would if I could...
