Hi everyone.
Over the past five years a team of dedicated arcade collectors have obtained and meticulously reproduced Atari Marble Madness 2: Marble man arcade games.
We are making no more than 15 of them. The majority of them are already spoken for. I have personally invested over $50,000 in this project. Yes, I know that's crazy.
Of the 15 games, 1 is going to each member of the team; two are being sold to collectors (see below), and the rest are going to popular open-to-the-public arcades.
We would like to sell two to the general arcade collecting community. One here; and one at an auction in Florida in ~a month, with 10% of the proceeds going The Honor Foundation,
https://www.honor.org/
These games:
1. Are working, fully assembled, and cut from the original Atari CAD files retrieved from backup tapes
2. Have art reproduced by amazingly talented folks, from high-quality scans of the original Atari art
3. Do not run on MAME or FPGA; they run on a same-era Atari board modified to play Marble Man
4. Include 3 joysticks, cabinet, art, boards, monitor, glass bezel, CPO, marquee, harness, and a bunch of metal brackets and bits.
5. Will likely have an upgrade to trackballs in the future. They work today, but they don't "feel" right yet.
Any questions? Feel free to ask.
The deal: The game will be sold to the highest Make-Me-An-Offer one week from today, on Monday the 10th. Payment can be made by wire transfer or ACH. Game can be picked up in Orlando, FL or shipped via NAVL. If shipped the game will be corner-guarded, blanket wrapped, "shrink" wrapped, strapped, and palleted at no additional cost. We are not opposed to NAVL shipping, but given how much mission and passion went into these games, we prefer pick-ups.
Concerned about a scam? I would be too. Others here can vouch for me; and I am happy to answer any and all questions EXCEPT who else is on the team that put this together. They can speak up for themselves if they want to.
A few of the games can be seen here in this thread, and I will post more pictures shortly:

Thank you for your consideration; and for all that this community does to save and restore games.
Best,
