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 game, among other early video and non-video arcade games, were featured briefly in George Romero's horror movie classic "Dawn of the Dead" (1977), the direct sequel to "Night of the Living Dead" (1968). The scene, occouring about halfway through the film, features four survivors of a zombie holocaust who are seeking refuge from hordes of the walking dead in a giant shopping mall, which just happens to have an arcade. The version of Boot Hill played in the movie seems to be without the backdrop.
