Just scored this all working Atari Starship 1 from 1977 for $400. Pretty fun game and super cool, retro looking cabinet. Anyone remember playing this one back in the day. Atari only made 3,500 of these :)

I remember playing that one BITD! Atari really hyped that one up.

Mike: Can you post bigger pics? And you should be arrested for paying a mere $400 for a working Starship 1! It looks like a museum piece :)

Nice find!

Nice score. I'd also love to see some larger pics. That's a really cool looking cabinet. I love all the retro art on it. :thumbsup:

I can remember playing on one of those around 1978/79. The machine was based in the amusement arcade of a caravan site near Filey, Yorkshire, England.
