CAPS/VAPS Arcade Census

There are 6,451 members of the Classic Arcade Preservation Society / Video Arcade Preservation Society, 3,703 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale. Census data currently includes 60,890 machines (3,615 unique titles).

Very Common - There are 166 known instances of this machine owned by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collectors. Of these, 30 of them are original dedicated machines, 17 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 119 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

This game ranks a 79 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.

Wanted - Popular - There are 14 VAPS members currently looking for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There are 5 VAPS members looking for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles board sets.

This game ranks a 50 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census want list records.

For Sale - There are 4 VAPS members with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles machines for sale. There are 4 VAPS members with extra Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles circuit boards for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

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 (8%) and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Technical

Trivia

The UK title for this game is Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles I.The pizzamunching turtles originally appeared in a black and white comic book that debuted in 1984. They were so popular that they immediately spawned imitators with colorful names such as ArmorPlated Adolescent Aardvarks and Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters. A cartoon series based upon the Turtles adventures debuted in the United States on the CBS television network in 1987.The first names of turtles Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo, and Donatello are the names of Italian Renaissance artists who lived between 1386 and 1564. Three of those artists had full names which were respectively Michaelangelo Buonariti, Raphael Sanzio and Leonardo Da Vinci, but as for Donatello, that was his only name.
