CAPS/VAPS Arcade Census

There are 6,477 members of the Classic Arcade Preservation Society / Video Arcade Preservation Society, 3,719 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale. Census data currently includes 61,030 machines (3,625 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 is one VAPS member currently looking for Marine Boy.

This game ranks a 3 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.
