Title: I found a Meteor upright (Asteroids Clone)? for $500 - worth it?
Post by: Dervacumen on May 11, 2006, 04:08:52 pm: It's an upright and looks to be in good condition, but I'm hoping to take a look at it later this afternoon or tomorrow.
The marquee looks like the Meteor II marquee from KLOV (http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=M&game_id=10614), but the part that says "part II" is not there. At least it looks that way from the pic. Is this over priced?

A serious vector collector might get excited about it due to the rarity. Doesn't hurt that it's actually a fun game to play, either. (assuming it's really a clone of Asteroids.)

That's kinda what I was thinking. I hope I can see it, and work the price down some. This would be a fine starter to my collection.
