Game was purchased new, but was never put in a box.  Next to last game
manufactured.  Last game made to be sold.  Game was purchased on the
day it was made, and then taken to my house and immediately set up.

If you own a Starwars Episode 1 please register! The more machines are registered, the more we know how many SWE1 were produced a day and produced total.
So if you would like to be listed here please register! The best way to do so is to take 2 pictures. One picture of the big white sticker. It is located inside the cabinet on the right side and the same is also mounted on the backside of the cabinet (the sticker shows serial#, MFD and designated country). For the second picture please locate a small white sticker inside the head - there is at least one inside the computer and one on the monitor and it shows the head's serial #. Please send serial and MFD Date or sticker information (see above) to : Martin Wiest

This page is maintained by  Martin Wiest,  the  German Pinball Association (GPA)  and friendly help from lots of Ep1 players/owners around the world..

Thank you to all, who already registered their Ep1 and especially to Jim West!
