Cabal Description

Viewed from behind, you stand behind a wall for shielding and must fend off attacking troops and tanks etc. using your gun and grenades. At the end of each level, all the buildings collapse and you run off up the road to the next stage.

Game Play

Almost anything can be destroyed if you fire enough bullets or grenades at the objects. Some of the power-up weapons are formidable. Shooting unusual characters, pigs, bushes etc. will yield extra weapons.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Very Common - There are 72 known instances of Cabal owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 11 of them are original dedicated machines, 7 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 54 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,120 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 42 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - There are 2 VAPS members currently looking for Cabal.

For Sale - There are 5 VAPS members with Cabal machines for sale. There is one VAPS member with an extra Cabal circuit board 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 (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.

Technical

The joystick version is JAMMA (not sure about trackball version) and had a small module that fitted into a socket to allow the use of a joystick. Possibly the two versions are interchangeable by the use of this module. This game seems to have been produced in the early days of the JAMMA standard, and in order to get the third button, TAD used the TEST and SERVICE connectors to act as the inputs. Often there will be a wire soldered from these points to the now standard button 3 contact on the JAMMA edge connector.
