Game Introduction

This was one of the two games created by Entertainment Sciences. Besides the bouncer who you control, there are a few other characters in this game like a bartender and a waitress who are your friends in the business. There are drunks, fat slobs and pranksters, the antagonists, and the people who are good customers whom you must constantly cater to throughout the game.

The object of the game is to dispose of the customers who are giving the nightclub trouble while making sure the other customers leave The Ritz happy. The game has very intelligent animation and unique storylines.

CAPS/VAPS Arcade Census

There are 6,492 members of the Classic Arcade Preservation Society / Video Arcade Preservation Society, 3,731 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale. Census data currently includes 61,187 machines (3,630 unique titles).

Very Rare - There are no known instances of this game owned by a known collector. This does not automatically mean that no examples exist, or even that only one or two machines exist.

Wanted - There are 2 VAPS members currently looking for Bouncer.

This game ranks a 5 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census want list records.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them even though arcade operators 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.
In particular, since VAPS started out focusing on videogames, statistics for other types of machines should not (yet) be an indication of scarcity.
For a clue to value, look at absolute numbers of owners and potential owners above, compare a ratio of how many people want this game vs. how many people have this game (0%) and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.
