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".

Scarcity in collections (VAPS.org)

Scarce - There are 5 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 4 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 1 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 5 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 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.

Trivia

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