  1. What was your local #GenX arcade called?

    "Galactikan One" for me. I clipped coupons to get 8 tokens for a dollar & played the *&$# outta Tron, Warlords & Sinistar. 😁

  4. Den Film "The Last Starfighter" (deutsch: "Starfight") fand ich als 14-Jähriger super. Lag sicher auch an der CGI. Keine Ahnung, wie gut der Film gealtert ist, aber die Fortsetzung als Comic würde mich schon reizen.

  5. Feeling down? Is your ass dragging? Well, this album (and the main title in particular) never fails to improve my mood! #thelaststarfighter #craigsafan #moviescore #goodmood

  6. I wonder how much Robert Llewellyn's performance of Kryten in #RedDwarf is influenced by Dan O'Herlihy's performance of Grig in #TheLastStarfighter.

    There's a lot of similarities in the tone of voice (do performers need of over-enunciate when wearing a full-face prosthetic makeup?) and the laugh.

  7. The Last Starfighter continues in comics | @graphicpolicy
    Mad Cave Studios has announced a new partnership with The Last Starfighter, the 1984 American sci-fi adventure film directed by Nick Castle and written by Jonathan Betuel. A cult-classic that pioneered CGI and inspired generations of fans, the film followed Alex Rogan, a teenager whose video game skills transformed him into an intergalactic hero.

  10. Lance was taken by the Inigo Montoya t-shirt I was wearing and told us the story of his auditioning for the part of Westley in The Princess Bride. I had no idea!

    I think he could've pulled it off pretty well, actually!

  11. My wife and I attended GalaxyCon / Nightmare Weekend in Richmond, VA yesterday and I returned home with some SciFi-geek life goals fulfilled. :-)

    I met The Last Starfighter stars Lance Guest (Alex) and Catherine Mary Stewart (Maggie) with photos and autographs. Good times!

    (Cathy is also in Night of the Comet, another dear favorite of mine from the eighties!)

  12. Schöner Rückblick. Ich hab den Film hier sogar auf BluRay und im englischen Original liegen. War für mich irgendwie ein Meilenstein in der Computergrafik, den ich in meiner Sammlung haben musste. Gesehen habe ich ihn zum ersten Mal aber erst vor ein paar Jahren. Naja, und ein wenig ist auch das #Arcade Game daran Schuld gewesen, dass ich ihn überhaupt zur Kenntnis genommen habe ;-). #Starfight #TheLastStarfighter #Cray #computergraphics heise.de/hintergrund/40-Jahre-

  13. Got my copy in the mail today! Really happy how this art came out celebrating #TheLastStarfighter Thank You #empiremagazine!

  14. #TheLastStarfighter(1984) : Star Car
    The "Star Car" that Centauri drives is based on a DeLorean, including its gull wing doors and its stainless steel construction. In reality it was constructed with a VW engine and sheet metal that resulted in a car that didn't move very fast and sounded terrible, hence driving shots were undercranked with additional space-age sound effects. The Star Car can be seen making a cameo appearance in Back to the Future 2.
