White Star (and similar) may refer to:
The WhiteStar Board System is an arcade system board used for several pinball games designed by Sega Pinball and their successor, Stern Pinball, between 1995 and 2005. It is the successor to Data East Pinball / Sega Pinball's System 11-derived hardware, copied from Williams.
1995's Apollo 13 was the first game to use the WhiteStar System, and 2005's NASCAR (Grand Prix outside the US) was the final game to use the WhiteStar System.
It is succeeded by Stern's "S.A.M. System", which was first used in 2006's World Poker Tour.
In 2003, when The Lord of the Rings was released, the WhiteStar's audio hardware underwent major changes. The Motorola 6809 / BSMT2000 sound system was changed to a 32-bit Atmel AT91SAM CPU with three Xilinx FPGAs. This adds hardware emulation of the 6809-BSMT2000 system for backwards-compatibility with previous WhiteStar-based games, as well as adding 16-bit ADPCM compression for the audio. The 16-bit audio is used from Lord of the Rings to NASCAR / Grand Prix.
Go, yahh, eeah.
They call me wild thing, wild thing...
Vines and trees, replace my walls,
And oceans fill my floors.
I sail through day, I sail through night,
I sail right through that open door
And in and out of weeks, almost over a year now
To where the wild things are...
Terrible roars, terrible eyes, terrible teeth, terrible claws, oh!
And all my friends are wild.
They say "Oh please don't go, we'll eat you up. we love you so.
Oh please don't go, we'll eat you up, we love you so."
Be still,
They call me the king of all wild
Be still,
They call me the king of all wild
Be still,
They call me the king of all wild
Be still,
Be still oh!
We'll eat you up, we love you so.
Far across the sea, into the day and into the night,
Far across the sea, into the day and into the night.
