Since you don't see these around that often, I figured I would share a few pics I took of a working Gottlieb Exterminator.
While the cab is really unique and cool, the game play was challenging. The owner of this game is getting ready to sell it and thinks the game is valued at around $1,000. Is that correct?
At first I was annoyed at the bright orange, but after a while, I realized how much it stood out from other cabs. Pretty cool.

I'm gonna say he's way off since a member here offered one for sale for $250 and got no takers. So you could buy the one I speak of and ship it pretty much anywhere in the continental US for less than a grand.

It is pretty uncommon though.
 
Interesting. Yeah, I have never seen another one. Well, anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Pretty fun game and the sound effects of the bugs made my skin crawl. LOL!
 
it's pretty uncommon and I might be wrong but I think it may have been gottliebs last video game or possibly last game period. Very unique cab but most people I know find the game repetitive and the sounds annoying. In general I don't think it's very desirable for much more than a conversation piece.
 
Its rare and intersting, but I think its a $500 game at best.. Maybe if people play it at show it will create demand for it, but I don't think its a $1k machine..

Rare? yes
Uncommon? yes
Cabinet Unique? yes
Game play unique? yes
Game play good? No
Desirable? No
Valuable? No
Happy to get rid of mine for almost nothing? Absolutely

One of the many mistakes I made of getting a game without ever having played it, but got it for the wow, rare, look at me factor. Yuck.

By the way, the game was Premier's one and only video game. Gottlieb became Mylstar which became Premier. Premier made several pinball games, but this single video game. The boardset is very similar to a Q*bert boardset (as were all of Mylstar's video game PCB's too).

But if anyone buys that one or has one and wants an NOS CPO (with unfaded orange), ping me:
