Agent X

here's a little info i found...

Awesome reading, great job! If you update your list, here's one you might consider adding. Only 20 dedicated cabinets were made: Cloak & Dagger.

Here's a link to mine. I've turned down $4,500 offers for it and sold a different one for the $3k range (I forget the exact price, it's been a while).

@Tim:

Actually I noted in my criteria that I didn't include any Agent X stuff. Originally this was one of my top machines for worth, but since it was really only released as a prototype, people convinced me that prototype arcades should be a separate list. Cloak and Daggers were actually released, and those were conversion kits, so it wouldn't actually be called Cloak and Dagger on my list.

But I realize that one of the 10-15 Agent X's out there would bring around 5k depending on condition. Reply 0 replies · active 59 weeks ago 0 Vote up Vote down Tim · 59 weeks ago
There is only one real Agent X prototype known to exist (owned by Scott Evans) . My cabinet, as well as the 19 other production cabinets, are not Agent X's, they are Cloak & Dagger and are part of a genuine production run that were sold to operators. The programmer's comments on my page back that assertion up. Further evidence is that there is a production serial number plate on mine (and on the 20 others, I would assume, not having seen one). So if Inferno, the Blaster cockpit and other limited production run games qualify, so should Cloak & Dagger. =)
 
Eh - I disagree with the prototype statement. Evans may have one of the protos but I've remember seeing one Agent X proto pop up on eBay within the last couple years. The board literally was factory silk screened with the word "prototype" on it. Do I have pictures....no ..... but I know what I saw.

Depending on what you want you can flash proms so the splash screen shows Agent X instead of Cloak and Dagger. There were a crap load of conversion kits made so the PCB's aren't exactly "rare". The original cabinet sure as hell is though.

I'm no expert but I originally got a hold of Rusty the creator and asked him several questions about it. The name Agent X was changed due to a movie that was made about the game. Which of course was changed to Cloak and Dagger. The first small run of the game was Agent X and are rare because of it.
 
The reason for asking Is I haved a (working) Agent X board set (the agent x is silk screened on the boards )

But cloak and dagger roms
 
How many agent X board sets were made ?

Many, many Cloak and Dagger boardsets were made with Agent-X screened on the board. Initially the game was going to be called Agent -X. When the name changed, the boards had already been made, so they used what they had. A second run of boards was built with the correct Cloak and Dagger name screened on them. Neither type is rare.

I have pictures. It was actually a 'MAD BOMBER' boardset. The name of the game before Agent X, before Cloak and Dagger. It was not an eBay auction, but a private auction by Brian Penzone, which he announced here on KLOV.

I have 30+ proto boards in my collection, and none of them have the word 'PROTO' anywhere on them.
