Yeah, I remember the first time they've installed it in local arcade - it was not just a game, it was complete experience sitting down in cabinet and having a go at Empire in X-Wing. Sure, there was Battlezone before that for early 3D first person shooting, but this was much, much better overall.
There were other great games from that year, but Star Wars is definitely my vote from that year.
