ConversionThis board set can be converted to Black Widow by a simple swap of ROMs.MiscellaneousPlay a JAVA emulated version of the game by visiting http://web.utanet.at/nkehrer/JGravitar.htmlScarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Very Common - There are 87 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 73 of them are original dedicated machines, 2 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 12 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.Of the 52,013 video games (3,346 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 50 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records. Wanted - There are 9 VAPS members currently looking for this game. 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. TechnicalThis boardset uses the same wiring as Space Duel, except for the controls. So, for testing purposes, a Gravitar PCB could be plugged directly into a Space Duel cabinet.TriviaDepending on the highest score, one of eight list names appears above the table of initials: FLUNKY (0- 20,000), GUNNER (20,001- 40,000), CO-PILOT (40,001- 80,000), PILOT (80,001-100,000), ACE PILOT (100,001-200,000), KILLER PILOT (200,001-400,000), PONTIUS PILATE (400,001-800,000), GOTTA-BE-LUCKY (above 800,000).eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Gravitar 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 Atari.
