Title: Arcade Production Run List?
Post by: ClubNinja on May 22, 2005, 03:33:50 am

I've been searching for some sort of source that has arcade game production run numbers all compiled together, but haven't found anything like that yet.  There are some reasonable sources for pinball runs out there - anything for video arcade games?

I would suspect that there would be a way to extract that data from History.dat but I wouldn't know the first step.

There are some numbers on Atari games here: http://www.atarigames.com/

It's really amazing to see the numbers for games like Tempest and Centipede, compared to the rest. Wow.

Thanks for the Atari info.  I'm actually mostly interested in the Bally/Midway machines, as well as the more oddball games.  Any other sources?

klov has it in the comments section for some games... not that many, though.

When you say not many, you're not kidding.
