| A list of the 15 most valuable arcade games in existence |
| << < (3/6) > >> |

Great list! Seems pretty accurate to me, based on what I've seen, on eBay at least. Just a couple thoughts: Where would Boxing Bugs go on this list, if anywhere? The one found in Alabama (talked about here) went for $800, but that seemed like a really good deal to me... What about Barrel Pong, or is that considered a prototype? One went for about $4500 on eBay a while back. Should the two-player Computer Space get a separate entry? These are certainly not criticisms, though, more like me thinking out loud. As something of a vector fanatic, I would note that 7 of the 15 are vector games... P.S. Sorry to be slow getting back to you (again :-[); been a pretty packed summer around here. Let's try to get together next week, if you can. Let me know. |

I'm not downing the guy, just a few games he picked. There is no need to take it personal. I don't like the list, what can I tell you. --- End quote --- I think the point is he didn just blindly pick them, he did research and asked people in the business. My only gripe is he could have combined the 2 different version of the one game into 1 spot and then added a crowd pleaser like Discs of Tron Enviromental . It was a good read nice pix and well written discriptions. You cant please everyone, theres no point in trying. |

Very nice. I think it's well written and researched. Though I did chuckle about the "corners" of the US and including Chicago in that. I know what you're saying but I just found it funny. Thanks for taking the time to do this for everyone's benefit! :cheers: |

Very cool. I have never seen an Aztarac cabinet before -- that bubble on the glass is amazing! I wonder if there could be a MAME filter to simulate that. I'm extremely curious to see what effect it produced. Aztarac is a GREAT game for those who haven't tried it. |

Kinda blown away i have played or seen most of those game in little old North Dakota. Only a couple i hav never seen, the plastic Sinstar cab, the Atari one with the bubble, Blaster, and War of the Worlds. I have played or at least seent he others. Sad a couple where actualy favorites of mine for a time, I ROBOT was one i lobed to play in collage, Mystic Marathon was also one i liked and still fire up in mame (man its getting some harsh words in the links he listed). Major havok was cool too, seen that with the wierd can roller and a spinner. I think most of the game he listed where in ther early days. I think there where few enouhg games that "new" games made the rounds. I wonder how rare some of the High tech games where when the arcades where in full swing? I remeber a flight game that was on a half moon bas so when you flew up it rolled up the front on wheels so you pointed up some, and then rolled back when you went down, I'm pretty sure it tilted from side to side too.. never seen that one again ever. Oh well neat list, Only a few I would watn for playing, but some interesting cab designes.. Give me a DoT StandUp Cocokpit anyday! Clok |
