Cabinet Information

Players must often lean against the cabinet to keep from falling over from the visual effect of flying through a twisty tunnel. Due to the way that that the cabinet was designed, the stance would effectivly block the view of anyone else in the room, effectively making it a solo adventure.

Miscellaneous

Manufactured under license from Atari. This game was licenced to another company who redid the graphics and called it Vertigo.

The ships in this game appear to have been based upon the TIE Fighters from "Star Wars".

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).

Uncommon - There are 7 known instances of this machine owned by Tunnel Hunt collectors. Of these, 6 of them are original dedicated machines, and it is a set of circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

This game ranks a 4 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.

Wanted - No members have added this machine to their wish list. Please note that many collectors are not members or do not list their desires here, and it is likely that a number of collectors might purchase this machine if offered it at the right price.

This game ranks a 0 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.

Trivia

The tunnel effect was created by a "Box on Box expansion" routine. The video hardware is unique to this game.
