Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)

Rare - There are 2 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 0 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 2 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 1 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 is comprised of two PCBs. The top board measures 5.5 inches by 11.5 inches and contains a Z80 and a AY-3-8910. The bottom board is 7.5 inches by 11.5 inches and it connects to the top via a 50-wire ribbon cable. The boards were originally manufactured by ORCA but the logo (Orca killer whale) has been removed but the board markings remain - OVG-51A on the top board and OVG-54C on the bottom.

The EPROMs are 2764s that have been hacked to fit in 24-pin sockets that the board was originally designed for. EPROMs are marked "HR" followed by a number.
