Empire City: 1931 DescriptionA shooting game where you attempt to rid 1931 New York City of the dangerous criminal element.Know anything more about this game? Game PlayTrack down and destroy enemies one at a time. Enemies usually appear offscreen. When enemies shoot at you, a brief "countdown" will be displayed on the screen, along with a warning sound. You can deflect bullets by pressing the "defend" button, but this uses up some of your ammunition. Shoot boxes to discover bullets and bonus items. Rescue hostages for bonus points. If you reach the final stage, you'll get a chance to take out the crime boss with a single shot.MiscellaneousLicensed to Romstar for US manufacture and distribution.Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Common - There are 28 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, it is a conversion in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 27 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.Of the 52,016 video games (3,347 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 19 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 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. 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. eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Empire City: 1931 Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Seibu Kaihatsu.
