Superman is one of my favorite games.  I'm lucky enough to have two nice ones on location within an hour of my house.

A few years ago I was doing some light side work really cheap for a local repair guy in return for project deals and tutoring.  He had a gorgeous Superman that had been sitting in his shop on repair for years.  The CPU board was just blown out from someone putting coil voltage into it.  I wanted that game badly so I managed to dig up a CPU board for it, which wasn't easy, and got him to agree to call it abandoned and sell it to me if the guy didn't pay for it quickly.  Of course the guy showed up immediately after it had sat there for 4 years collecting dust.

Hercules might have had plexi but I don't think any of the others did.  This one is probably because it's a proto.

Zero bids... "Rarity Is No Indication Of Value" strikes again. Dude should relist starting about about 3 grand.
This is a whole different market than a $3000+ game that you can play and enjoy.

Maybe because it changes color as it ages?  Responded poorly to trapped heat?  Too costly at that time?

Way to revive a dead thread with that insightful... insight.

Anyway, the ones I've played recently all play and look great.  Too costly I might believe, but why would they even bother?


Test examples, probably.
