$2500 Kangaroo?

That cab looks awesome . Its one of those games that looks like its a classic but fails .
 
Probly meant $250. I never understood the appeal of that game. Played it back in the day and didn't get it. Probably wouldn't now either.
 
I agree it seems like a lot. But like you said it's the euro and earlier revision of the game.

I for one like kangaroo and have fond memories of playing it on the 2600 BITD...










...but no way would I drop that kind of coin on one.
 
Kangaroo is the one dedicated cabinet that I would not have a problem with converting. I'm not big on the multi-JAMMA stuff but I could see doing a reversible conversion in one of those.
 
I saw that auction but have long since tired of sending these sellers replies and trying to set them straight when they are so far off on prices...on some things you can argue both ways...but with this its pretty obvious you couldn't sell ten for that price.
 
No love for roos

Not even in australia would it fetch 500!

I bought a roo for 250.00 in very nice condition. My kids like it so its ok with me!

Most 450.00. I would buy it and put it next to my fast freddie euro cab.
 
It is a Euro cabinet, but when the real thing sells for $100? Come on....it's still the worst game of all time. Maybe it's that much because it's the 1978 version, which is much better than the 1982 version.

I don't know, atari has 3 contenders for worst games of all time in 1982-83 alone.
fast freddie
arabian
kangaroo

And lets not forget the other great atari games:
guardians of the hood
pit fighter
batman
 
I am always coming to defend this game..

Love this game and its cab art is great.


I also love Arabian, and yes I own them both!


The art is ok but the gameplay doesn't do anything for me. Now, Dig Dug, there's a great Atari game with great artwork.

I own fastfreddie and kangaroo. Actually like both. There are far worse games out there imho. Looking for an arabian to get the trifecta!

I have both Kangaroo and Arabian as well. I love the artwork, especially on Arabian, and my kids love both games so win-win for me.

I agree. When I was a teen and hit the arcades, I always plopped some quarters into a Kangaroo.

Granted, it's not the greatest game or one of the best games ever made, but it's not the worst game or one of the worst games, either.

I like the game!
 
I too have a soft spot for Kangaroo. I remember putting quite a few quarters into it. Besides the cab looking pretty cool the graphics were pretty good.

A lot of these games you have to remember what else was around at the time. Sure we can look back now and cherry pick the games but in the early 80's it was all up to what your local arcades got in and what was new.
