This is definitely the most obscure game on my wanted list. Last time I was on the hunt for this game, I was short on both money and space. That was a long time ago, so I just thought I'd post something now to see if anyone still might know the whereabouts of any Mars parts, or if you even have one, post links to some pictures. Show me your Mars or Artic game!

So...if anyone knows the whereabouts of anything Mars-related, let me know.

Dedicated game (unlikely I know), cabinet, marquee, bezel, board, etc...

I posted on RGVAC but in case you miss it...

I have an Artic "New Sinbad 7" PCB that was tested working about 5
years ago by a friend of mine - been sitting in a priority mail box in
my garage ever since. Pics here:

and actually, it looks like the PCB actually says Mars on it - I never
noticed!

Maybe it's a ROM swap to change it to Mars?

I think I paid $35 for it. I'd sell it for that (plus shipping) if you
want it. You're probably the only person that might want it :) I can't
guarantee it still works, but it has been kept safe all this time.

Let me know,
Brian

I have a board... and i used to have a converted mars cabaret (with sideart, but mauled CPO).
 
Mark, you willing to part with that board? Brokenjoy, no offense meant towards yours, just would like an original, and not sure if it's just a ROM swap...

Mine's an original artic board w/ the epoxy glob CPU. I thnk there's a scramble/galaxian ROM Swap set though.
 
Well, after a lengthy search (and even lengthier journey home) I've finally acquired a dedicated Mars.

This game is so obscure, there is virtually no information on the internet whatsoever...pics and info are both pretty scarce.

I'd like to restore a few things on it, have a few things to repair, and have a few questions about the game and cabinet, and I was wondering if anybody here owns one.

If you have a Mars, PM me!

I have a cocktail version of this game and they are a nightmare to find information on. I'd never part with it as it has ties to my hometown. It was put into circulation here by a company called Fun Games Inc.
