Miscellaneous

The Japanese name for this game is Tatsujin.

VAPS Arcade Census

Common - There are 25 known instances of Truxton owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, it is a conversion in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 24 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,098 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 13 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

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 an extra Truxton 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

This games used hardware similar to that used in other Toaplan games of the time, including Demon's World/Horror Story. It uses a M68000 (Main CPU, 10MHz), a Z80 (Sound CPU, 3.5MHz) driving a YM-3812 (also 3.5MHz), and a 320C10 (Protection MCU, 3.5MHz).

Like the aforementioned Toaplan games, the game is multi-regional, meaning that it can be configured for different regions via the DIP switches. These settings change the legal warnings, can display the Taito licensing message and can modify the title between the English version (Truxton) and the Japanese version (Tatsujin).
