Colony 7 DescriptionDefend Colony 7 from alien attack by using two ion-cannons that fire an exploding shot which knocks out targets near its detonation zone, an eradicator rocket that acts as a "Smartbomb" which clears the entire screen, and an ion shield which provides temporary safety (blasted away by alien fire).Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationThe cabinet is pretty bland and rather large.Game PlayExtended weaponry gives the players weapons a greater area of destruction, and requires additional coins. Game is very similar in play to both Pleiads (first screen) as far as general theme goes, and Missile Command as far as actual gameplay (using a joystick, versus a trackball, and only one button to fire from two guns, versus three buttons for three bases).VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYUncommon - There are 6 known instances of Colony 7 owned by one of our 3,650 members who participate in our machine census project. Of these, 4 of them are original dedicated machines, and 2 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired. 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. For Sale - There is one VAPS member with a Colony 7 machine for sale. There are 1 VAPS members with extra Colony 7 circuit boards 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. eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Colony 7 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 Taito.
