For sale is my restored Cine Space Wars. The machine is 100% working. It has had all cab and cosmetic work done. It also has a repaired and bullet-proofed monitor chassis attached to a NOS Amperex tube. The machine is all original except for that NOS tube and for the fact that many moons ago, someone added a credit button in the 25c window in the coin door. Yes the game is huge, yes it is 2 player only. Yes it is awesome. If interested in having it shipped, just call to set it up and let me know. My zip is 56310. I have shipped many machines thru NAVL and haven't had any serious issues yet (I had this machine shipped to me in the first place). This is a piece of arcade history. If I ran an arcade museum, I'd keep it, as it would be the cornerstone of my collection. As I do not own a museum of any kind, it needs to go somewhere where it will be appreciated. If you've been dreaming about owning a very nice, fully working Space Wars with a beautiful burn free picture, your dream has come thru. Buy my product.

Does the Manual and custom envelope go with the sale Shawn ;)? This game is a beast to move, good luck with your sale! Are you downsizing or updating your gameroom?

Yes they do come with it, as does a framed Flyer if the buyer wants it. As to why, I just feel bad that this beauty sits un-played in the corner. This is the first commercially produced vector game so should be seen and appreciated by the masses, not tucked away in my sweet little gameroom. It also takes up enough space for 2 machines, and I need to consolidate my games from 3 rooms to 2, maybe eventually to 1.
 
You sound like the boat that I'm in and was in when I moved herea couple years ago. I moved my Space Wars to this locale but wasn't inclined to move it to my small area that is now my game room. Ended up leaving the SW on a set of piano dollies because of the bastard being so big, even with the monitor out it was a pain-- just ask Andre and John-- wow! Anyway, nice machine Phet I'm sure some collector here will appreciate it and give it a new home.
 
WOW cant believe you are letting that one go.. I think you will regret it later.. Great price in that condition...
 
Wow, very good price. I agree with Dan, you may regret this sale. Beautiful looking machine!!!
 
I enjoyed playing that game for about 6 seconds. Then I moved on.

It's freaking GAY-normous, and you'll be glad to get rid of it. Arcade history? Yes. Practical in a game room? Not so much.

That said, good luck on your sale.

BTB, I have the cream you're looking for.

Thank you non-paid spokesperson. That glowing endorsement should move it quickly.

I do what I can. Hey, I did my part to help you clean out your garage this weekend.

Buy Phet's game. Not because I said to, but because the joysticks on it were touched by the same hands that touched Pettyboy's.....other games.

I have 5 boys ages 13, 15, 16, 17, 18 (i raise my brothers three kids as well as my two) They love playing Space War, mine is actually down right now the Chassis is being rebuilt but they are always asking to play it and when it will be fixed. IMO Space War/wars and Rip off are the best classic co-op games, we have made lots of memories playing.

I agree. Playing Space Wars is one of my earliest and fondest arcade memories. The problem is, I have no one to play this with. My kids don't 'get' it and my wife couldn't care less. I've played a few friends on it, but my fingers know the layout so well that I usually smoke all comers and then they just give up and walk away. I wish I had a Siamese twin.

There is so much potential for quote hacking there, I could never do it justice. Brad I am sure will tear this one up.
 
This game is sold pending payment. Thanks for the interest. I think I will miss this one. I know I will. I feel that it's going to a good home though.
