I only had a Sears Video Arcade (Atari VCS/2600), not the Atari 800 needed to play the real Last Starfighter game: Star Raiders 2

Can’t wait for this, especially after all the great material that came from his investigation into UFO obsessions and conspiracies of the 1950’s. Videogames weren’t mentioned much in “Destroy All Monsters,” his book about Waco, Gulf War I, Elvis and Japan. Maybe his new radio series will expand on this.

Cartoon Network is finally outdoing those crap peddlers at Williams Street by joining forces with Channel Federator. Can’t wait until the series airs!

I’ll be damned if I ever say I want to go to LA (and I’ll be double-damned if I ever willingly go there) but this is just not fair! If I didn’t have a job and turned my radio show into a full-time thing, I would totally do this for Boston.

That said, anybody in Boston/Cambridge want to do something like this for our little city?

The Last Starfighter was never released as an arcade or home console game. Instead, I had this:

Activision Atari Starmaster

Posting this to my blog b/c of the Robocop reference at 1:50-1:58 (I think it’s Robocop for Genesis/SNES, or maybe Robocop v. Terminator v. Aliens)
