Sluggotg I have a blue, Single player, Computer Space. Unfortunately the monitor, (a Magnavox vacuum tube TV), completely fell apart during shipping, I bought it on Ebay. (This was around 2005). It is very, very unlikely I will ever find a replacement display. I should check out my options online. At least I can play my other original Arcade Machines, (Asteroids, Missile Command, Defender, Stargate(x2), Gorf, (2 full size, one Cabaret), Tron, Galaga etc. Reply
sftwn Tangential, but 25 cents per play is rough. That's something like $2 per credit today. Reply

Yeah but technology wise it's like playing VR games in arcades today and those are pretty much that price per minute… Also a quarter was just a quarter back then, kids had bunches of them. Reply
DarkKobold A few notes – the estimate is $20k, not $200k. This is the 3rd time they've actually tried to auction this same 2-player Computer Space (SN#30644). It keeps going well below their $20k estimate. I've wanted this cabinet, but it keeps failing to meet the ridiculous reserve. Further, they claim it's functional, but there's zero pictures actually demonstrating it working. https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/not-mine-balance-technology-hotseat-full-motion-prototype.559755/ Reply
