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, but the part that says "part II" is not there.  At least it looks that way from the pic.   Is this over priced?

No, but $ 200 would be a fair price

If it's a working, good condiditon vector game, it's pretty much automatically in the $500 ballpark.  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.

Chances are though, that it's just a raster invaders style shooter.
NO MORE!!

If it's a working vector game I'd pay $500 for it.
