Cheffo, the unwitting troll... Ohh yes, I DO in fact own a Vector game. Asteroids Delxue to be exact. And in fact, currently, I also have a Sega Turbo, Spy Hunter, Black Knight 2000, Williams Indiana Jones pinball, Willaims Fire pinball. Sold off the TX-1, and the Ice Cold Beer, and a non-working outrun cause I got sick of getting bad boards labeled as good off of ebay. Vectors were Huge in the 80s. Almost every arcade in the world had at least one, if not several. |

Being incredibly generous and exaggatory, Lets say there were, oh, 15,000 arcades out the world in the early 80's. And if each of those arcades averaged 5 vector games. That would still equal only 75 thousand vector games. Not to mention the real numbers do not even come close. Then you take the absolute decimation of cabinets since that time and you would cut even my silly exaggerated numbers down to a third of that. Your math is bogus, calling Cheffo a troll doesn't change that fact. |

Holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is Xiaou ruining another thread!?! I dont believe it!?! (Im labeling my posts with the appropriate tags now. This is obviously sarcasm.) To say that there are hundreds of thousands of vector games out there is utterly ridiculous. Vigo was being nice when he mentioned those numbers. You are deranged if you think that. Cheffo isnt a troll, he is just putting you in your place, but you refuse to go there. Every. Single. Time. ::) |

Hundreds of thousands in the wild? citation needed. http://www.brentradio.com/ProductionNumbers.htm Asteroids 47,840 Asteroids(cocktail) 8725 Asteroids (factory Lunar Lander conversion) 200 Asteroids Deluxe 18142 Asteriods Deluxe (cabaret) 1005 Asteroids Deluxe (cocktail) 3252 Battlezone 13022 Battlezone (cabaret) 2000 Red Baron 1500 Red Baron (cockpit) 504 Star Wars (cockpit) 2450 Star Wars (upright) 10245 Tempest (cabaret) 2176 Tempest (cocktail) 1663 Tempest 25112 War of the Worlds 10 That's about 135,000 but doesn't include every vector game, I cant find numbers on games like Omega Race. But it does include the most popular ones. I doubt its an additional 65,000 and even if it did, we'd have to assume every single vector ever made still works and none were destoryed, scrapped, broken, and or lit on fire/left in a barn. |
