Oh yeah. And I don't know how many were made, but see below as to what is currently in my gameroom (not mine - yet). No reference on the arcade flyer, and no reference on KLOV. In fact, I didn't know one existed until I picked it up to try to fix it....

HOLY CRAP! That's awesome!
 
My Atari Sky Diver. Not as sexy as a rare color vector but don't know anyone else who has one. Never even knew it was a full upright. I only knew it as an Atari 2600 cartridge.

Awesome games! Very obscure, neat titles.
 
I don't know if PCBs count but my Rotary Fighter seems pretty rare, apparently the only proof it exists is my board and the fact that MAME emulates it because otherwise I can't find the slightest bit of info on it, let alone a pinout.

Other than that I've got a Looping PCB which seem pretty tough to come by, and my Buck Rogers upright which are rare because the game sucks.
 
Cheeky Mouse?

I have a Universal Cheeky Mouse..I've only ever seen 2. The one I played at the local department store in the 80's and the one that took me 5+ years to find
 
Heh... I don't have anything I classify as "rare" but I do have a few games mentioned in this thread like a Red Baron, a Missile Command cabaret, and an Arabian. Heck... I'd consider my Omega Race cabaret more rare than those mentioned above because it actually *works*. :D
 
I think this one would qualify as "rare". Still upset that I had to sell it, and that it died on me...

All numbers matching, factory dedicated.
 
I still would have to say it's my Pin Pong. I'm not sure how many were made but I have only heard of a few others

That couldn't possibly be any more 70s.

What do you know about it? I haven't ever seen one...

It's an early one 1974

Basically it's an early version of video pinball. The story as I heard it goes something like this. Someone told Bushnell that arcade games will never last and pinball machines were here to stay so he set out build an arcade game that would show arcade games could replace a pinball machine. If that really happened I don't know but it's a good story.

Here's what the playfield looks like
