Description

Build up a castle using Tetris-like pieces to form a wall enclosing your territory. Next, place cannons, and then use them to fire upon enemy boats or opposite player's castle! Then it's back to rebuilding your castle before another round of destruction.

Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)

Common - There are 41 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 14 of them are original dedicated machines, 6 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 21 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 28 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - There are 10 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 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

Two versions were made available: a three-player trackball dedicated version (1990) and two-player joystick kit (1991).

The PCBs are identical except for the ROMs, one GAL and some of the inputs have pull-down resistors instead of pull-ups.

The joystick version is straight JAMMA, while the trackball version reuses the joystick axes as the trackball inputs (clock=up/left and direction=down/right) (this is the pseudo-standard way a trackball is used in a JAMMA pinout).
