Game Play

Gameplay is quite similar Tetris, but with some added twists. During
play, random blocks will contain either letters or numbers.
Completing any line with one of these specialty pieces awards the
player 5,000 point bonus with any of the following:

B: Next piece becomes a bomb. Exploding when it lands, blocks within
a small radius of the point of impact are cleared.

F: Summons a Flicky (a bird) in place of a regular piece. He can
drops single blocks at a time for every press of the rotate button.
Convientient for filling up multiple lines in a hurry.

4: Eliminates four rows.

16: Turns the next piece into a 16-ton weight. When placed, it
demolishes three colums' worth of space, crushing the blocks below.

Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)

Uncommon - There are 14 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 0 of them are original dedicated machines, 4 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 10 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 42,694 video games (3,154 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 9 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Technical

The game uses Sega's System 14 boardset.
