800 Fathoms DescriptionThe player has to guide a submarine armed with torpedoes and missiles through five levels while fighting different underwater terrors. The game play is easy during the first five areas but it gets really tough at the later levels where the underwater landscape "grows" and there is not much space left for maneuvering the submarine. At the end of each area the boss-submarine appears and its firepower is not easy to overcome.Know anything more about this game? Cheats, Tricks and BugsIn the first area where the player moves the submarine through the underwater fortress, the moving barriers can be shot with the missiles just as they appear on the screen and have a white color.MiscellaneousLICENSOR: AmenipVAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYVery Rare - According to a survey conducted by Video Arcade Preservation Society of approximately collectors and their 20,000+ games, there are no known instances of this game owned by a known collector. This does not automatically mean that no examples exist, or even that only one or two machines exist. 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. eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the 800 Fathoms Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by US Billiards.
