Noice (Steve Hulett), the King of the Moppets, had been searching for this title for many years. It was the only Moppet title he had never seen. He had placed a want ad for it on one of the newsgroups back in 2001 (?). He said he would always get XXX rated junk emails regarding his search for "Berenstain Bears -Moppet" and then one day he received a real email from someone selling the cabinet.
The cabinet was located in Maine, I believe. He purchased it and had it shipped to his place in Texas. The side art is unique to this Moppet title (ie. all other Moppet games have the same side art). The cabinet itself is in really nice shape. Both side art complete and intact, perfect marquee and very nice CP. It has fewer than 4000 credits on the coin counter so it was obviously played very little. After owning it and unable to get it working, Noice sold it to me along with a dedicated Tugboat.
There is story on the net of someone who remembers seeing one in the Pediatric unit of a hospital in Seattle.
I have been collecting Moppets for a few years now. I purchased one from Joe Magiera (a HUO/ mint Leprechaun) and the other three from Noice (Tugboat, Pirate Treasure and Berenstain Bears). I have the first right of refusal on a beautiful Noahs Ark when the owner decides to sell. I have not located a Desert Race. Todd Tucky has a Desert Race and apparently there is one other known cabinet in existence. I would rate the rarity of these titles as follows:
1. Berenstain Bears - 1 cabinet known
2. Desert Race - 2 cabinets known
3. Tugboat- fewer than 5 cabinets
4. Noahs Ark
5. Pirate Tresure
6. Leprechaun
Leprechaun seems to be the most common cabinet but I wouldnt say any of them are very common. Chuck E Cheese destroyed these cabinets after they were done using them so that they could claim it as a tax write off. This makes finding them today very difficult.
I loved these games as a youngster because I could last forever on one quarter when I was down to my final quarter at an arcade.
This site has some interesting information about the games as well as a short synopsis about Berenstain Bears:
