Unfortunately, I need to downsize and I have to make some tough decisions on my Bronze Age games. As a result, I am selling my historic and rare 1973 Kee Elimination. From my research, it was Kee's very first production game and Atari Quadrapong was cloned FROM Elimination. I'm also told they only made 20 or so of them but I have no way to validate that. The game coins up (via a tiny button) and fires up but will need some PCB and pot maintenance to be fully operating. It's a pretty clean survivor but there is a chip near the top and it appears to me there is very small gap on one side (perhaps it can be tightened down - I don't know). Looking for $950 and I'm in NW Houston, TX.

Come on down @greedycrisp and get my extra Drag Race too. One-stop shopping!
 
AFAIK Quadra Pong and Elimination are the same game. The Elimination flyer mentions the game is for 2, 3, or 4 players. Quadra Pong flyers say it's for 4 players. One of Atari's flyers mentions pricing can be set for either 1 quarter for 4 players, or 25c for 2/50c for 4).

There wasn't any computer AI for that game, or any game back then. URL's 1974 Race Car Pro might have been the first with computer opponents. A quick search online reference SSI's Computer Bismark (for the TRS-80 and Apple II) as the first with computer AI, but this article cites Pac-Man (which came out in Japan in 1979:
