Someone has had the bright idea to program a perfect replica of the Starfighter video game / illegal recruitment tool from The Last Starfighter.

This is a game that would have been well beyond state of the art in the 1980s, but not has a nice retro feel to it. It's an extremely immersive game in spite of it's graphic simplicity, so much so that you'd be half-expecting Centauri to show up if you got a high score.

I just watched this movie two weeks ago with boys, its an awesome movie.

There is however one part where it feels unnaturally rushed. If it was shot in the age of digital, we would have a chance to see those missing scenes.

Looks like a sequel is in the works too.
