Invisible Monsters on Craigslist. Anyone know anything about it?

I believe this is a legit WoW prototype. I've never seen another Midway mini shaped like that. The production WoW mini has cutouts on the sides where the CP sits, so two players can access the controls more easily. While the overall shape of the IM cabinet is similar to Pac-Man / Rally-X / Space Zap / Space Encounters, you can see that it has the same type of cutouts around the CP. All the other cabinets in that general shape have a straight line parallel to the bezel angle until it hits the front.

I sure hope a collector got it, and not a multicade chopper.

If someone here got it, hit me up. I'll pay.
 
This is interesting. Would love to know more.

It looks like the released version is superior in most every way. WoW was my 6th or 7th game. I drove 8 hours one way with a buddy of mine to get it. I don't know if I'd do that now or not, but I don't regret it, and I can't imagine getting rid of it. I'm going to have to get the high score save. I've been wanting that for years.
 
From the ad:
These prototype ROMS are the originals and I have not made them available for Mame or anyone else. These were stuck on the PCB in September 1980 and have not been removed.
Didn't someone say the ROMs were dumped (in one of the threads or video)? I understand not releasing them (until after he sells the game for $6K of course :p ), but seems pretty dumb not to at least make sure they're preserved.

lol so funny! orig offer was $4000 then he want up to $5.5k cray! somebody rich out there!
 
Too bad. Hope it went to a good home. I'd been in contact with the owner via email, but he didn't like my offer and $5k+ is just too much IMO.
 
Too bad indeed. I wish that would have ended up in your collection.
