Forgot to mention.. I offered $5.00 for it!! Hope I win!!..

oh wait, I have an Off The Wall PCB and controls..hmmm maybe I need to sell it on fee-bay and undercut him.. $2000 buy-it now!!
 
Since when is Atari in business (not Atari Games)??

Did they repair boards?

Why would they tell a customer a value? (and one crazy like that?)
 
This PCB is ranked #1 in rarest, hardest-to-find games in the world by Sunwird Electronics Game polls. Only one exists this day, and was recently purchased from a collector auction house in San Berdindo, California for nearly $4,800.
An Atari spokeperson was quoted as saying, "I'm suprised this game didn't go for higher."
Rumors are recently surfacing that another board was released, and is currently ready to be sold on eBay. Dealers, vendors, enthusiasts, and even ex-Atari programmers are butting heads to try and find and place the highest bid.











See? I can throw out bullshit too. Only mine sounds cooler.
 
make that 13.. I have one on my board rack and I never entered it into vaps..

Back in the late 90's I PASSED on buying a REAL atari proto off the wall.. Went to go see it in a guys garage and I just could not pull the trigger on it.. I think it was in a pitfighter style cabinet. Funny that vaps lists it as a 2 player game. Pretty sure they are all 3 player.. Maybe I should try to track him down.. If the board is worht $3k, the whole cabinet has to be worth $10K!

The Guy also had another proto in like a millipede/kangaroo/dig dug cabinet. It was something I did not care for like crystal castles..
 
I have a PCB, controls, marquee, wiring and manuals from one that I pulled out of DigDug/Centipede cabinet years ago.

It's a conversion kit. It has two controllers and the wiring looks like its two player only. I may be wrong.

I played it a few weeks ago on a test bench setup. Was kinda fun. Music is great.

dont know if I would keep a dedicated cabinet for it though..
