Why Galaga PCBs so expensive?

(1/3) > >>

rchadd:
I have noticed that Galaga pcbs seem to command premium prices. But why?

I assume this is because they are still good money makers in commercial situation?

SirPeale:
You are correct.  Despite being one of the most manufactured boards, they command high prices due to their demand.  Since the market supports it, people will pay it.

MonitorGuru:
Same with Pac-Man and Ms.Pac.  Why do you think Namco released the Ms.Pac/Galaga reunion machine?

Pac prices have fallen over the last year to 2 years. Ms.Pac has fallen a bit less (same board, different chips+daughter board).  Pacs used to guarentee $200-$225 and Ms.Pacs $225-$250. 

Now Pac-s are about $125 to $150 tops depending on condition, while Ms.Pacs are still about $175 to $200.


I need a Galaga board set.. I have tons of extra Pac's.. I wish I could trade a working Pac for a working Galaga, but doubt that will happen :(

ChadTower:
Seeing as how either could be done in a single chip now, how prevalent are boots?

rchadd:
if only the arcadeshop 9 in 1 multi jamma pcb ran namco games...

or can they? ;)
