So this guy is selling a Space Zap machine. He was asking $150. He says the harness for the sound is not attached and does not know where to plug it in. Also it locks up occasionally.

Was this game really hated? I love the thread where http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=125479 he says it was worse than Space Zap... LOL

I did play on mame for a little bit, and did seem somewhat enjoyable. I was going to buy it as my first arcade machine, but saw a Donkey Kong JR for $100 that day and picked that up instead.

Anyone else even play this or remember someplace having it?

What would you pay for it in said condition? I haven't seen it in person.
 
TELL ME ABOUT IT! Been trying to locate a bezel forever. Its ironic this game comes up - I actually uncovered mine for the first time in a while tonight.
 
The gameplay is different than most other games since you need to get in the "zone" to really do well. Dismissing Space Zap as an example of horrible game play marks the poster as someone that hasn't or isn't able to do that.

It is also a game where controls are important, using those giant yellow buttons is totally different than the keys on a keyboard.

I've got a cocktail, and it happens to be the very same machine I bid on at my very first auction in the early 90's. I didn't win it (IIRC it was $40 bucks at the time), but ended up getting it from another collector years later, he was the other bidder.
 
If I can dig my way back to it in the next couple weeks, I'm stripping mine of all metal parts and having them powdercoated so I can finally put it back together. I need to get a mirror and a piece of plexi as the bezel I guess.
 
Space Zap is a kick ass game. I owned one for a couple months after a friend found someone who was giving it away. Another collector here contacted me saying that it was his grail so I let it go for a good price since it was before my time. The buttons make this game! Even non-gamers love it.
