GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Scarce - There are 3 known instances of Shootout At Old Tucson owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, It is an original dedicated machine., it is a conversion in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and it is a set of circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,121 video games (3,420 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 - 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 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.

Trivia

This information was provided on the message board at the Yahoo! Clubs for American Laser Games (http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/alglasergameclub (Message #36, 43 and 45)) and was given by David Fickers (dwfickers@yahoo.com), a former engineer for American Laser Games.

Although they tried repeatedly to get this system to work, the 3DO system was designed primarily for home use & the hours of arcade use would burn out the motor. The makers of the 3DO (Panasonic) made a more durable motor but it still would fail all to soon. That, coupled with the licencing fee and limited disk space, killed any chance Shootout At Old Tucson had. American Laser Games went out of business soon afterwards, so this game was never ported to another laser format. The 3DO system used had been altered so that the disks from it would not play on the home 3DO system.
