Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)Scarce - There are 5 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 4 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 1 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 3 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records. Wanted - There is one VAPS member 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 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. TechnicalThe game uses two Z80 microprocessors. The first Z80 runs hardware which is essentially the same as Galaxian but without the starfield generator. The second Z80 drives a DAC to produce simple digitized speech ("Help", "Thank You", "Bye Bye").eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the King And Balloon 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 Namco.
