I see an add on Ebay for an Atari Asteroids in a white cabinet. How rare is this, and does anyone have any information about these such as why Atari made the white cabinets and how many were made.

I believe this was the original cabinet. The guy standing next to it is the creator of Asteroids. I bought my asteroids off the guy who took the picture - he used to work at Atari and was friends was Ed.

The are from the last few runs of machines. Not Proto's, not rare, not conversions, nothing special at all. Just the last of the Asteroids machines to come off the assembly line. I own all of the artwork screens for ALL of the Atari Games. The screens with the 'white band' are the Rev C artwork for the cabinet, and the dates on the 'white band' are AFTER the standard black versions.
