Game Details

SKU: #329
Game: Sinistar
Game Type: Upright
Usually Ships: This item is no longer available
Possible reason: this item may have been sold.
Monitor: NEW 19" Color Raster

Here's one we don't see very often, the classic Williams space themed shooting game with their trademark features of intense and difficult gameplay. Also features digitized speech.

This particular game is in great shape, there is one wear spot on the base of the cabinet, but we will be touching it up and expect the game to look fantastic once restored. Some of the notable restoration work we will be doing includes:
  • New control panel overlay (artwork).
  • Installing a new 19" monitor.
  • Intalliing new t-molding.
  • Replacing the original power supply with a modern switching power supply for better reliability.
  • Installing a new light fixture for the header.
  • Refinishing the coin door and metal brackets.
The pictures below are prior to us doing any restoration work, but do give an idea as the condition of the original cabinet and its artwork.

Quick Game Facts

Overview
As with most of Williams other early releases Sinistar features fast-paced, challenging game play and eats up quarters. The player’s mission is mine crystals that make “sinibombs” while fending off workers and other enemy ships who are also attempting to mine crystals in an effort to build “Sinistar”, a nasty looking robot ship. Once complete Sinistar chases the player down while taunting him with synthesized speech, saying things such as “Beware, I Live!”, “Run Coward” or “I am Sinistar”.

The synthesized speech aspect of the game can be quite spooky for the first time player since it appears from no where. Additionally Sinistar is a very difficult enemy to destroy (only sinibombs can harm him). The game is a special 49-position optical joystick that allows for great control when playing the game.
