Cabinet Information

8 color artwork is silk-screened directly onto the sides and depicts the player's ships battling several other mines and ships.

Game Introduction

This game is a two-player color version of Asteroids. It has two different modes of play: competitive and team. In competitive mode, each player competes for points. Players can shoot each other for bonus points, but they don't lose a ship. In team mode, the two players are attached together by a "filament". Each player's ship can move and shoot independently while still being attached.

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

The game appears on the album cover of It's Hard by the Who. The was possibly the first video game to make it onto an album cover.
