Introduction
Introduction
Howdy there, my name is Cassandra and I love arcade games. I have been personally
collecting these 300+ pound monsters for almost 30 years and currently own over 30 full sized
arcade games. Collecting arcade games has always been a bit of a strange hobby combining
nostalgia with very heavy large wood boxes. These beasts can be rewarding, flustering, frustrating,
expensive, and all at the same time fascinating to those of us who collect. This guide is an attempt
to both transparently attach a declared value to each title and at the same time start to create a more
unified approach to collecting values to help those in the hobby or coming into the hobby. It is
important to note this is far from the first attempt to make such a guide, but my hope is that this
becomes the definitive and complete (as much as possible) one with time.
How To Best Use This Guide
This is a guide, or a roadmap for collecting and value of arcade videogames in the USA
and is not an iron clad declaration of value. This guide is intended as a tool to help with those
interested in collecting, those who collect, and those who are simply interested in arcade game
history. The guide is not and will never be perfect and should be considered an ever-evolving
document.
How Are Values Tabulated?
The Vintage Arcade Gal Presents:
The Unofficial Vintage Arcade Videogame Collector Field and Price Guide
Prices are tabulated from a variety of sources, but I make every attempt to make sure the
values attached are actual sales of games and not simply the asking price someone might desire. I
check sales from on-line forums, on-line auction houses, in person auctions, classified ads,
posted person to person sales, and additional sources. A collectable is only worth what someone
is willing to pay for it. These prices also come from my personal experiences and dealings with
collecting over the last 30 years. Prices can (and will) vary from area to area, and from situation
to situation. There are always outlier prices from time to time which are either much higher or
lower than average, and some titles can also skew wildly in average price. In these events I have
attempted to come up with a realistic spread of prices I feel are fair and often games with wild
variances will be noted as such.
Condition and originality are always the value “King” with any collectable. Most pricing
guides for other collectables will use a condition scale for pricing. Condition grading is very
difficult with classic arcade games since these were commercial machines with numerous parts
and true “mint” condition examples that are 100% original are almost non-existent. With this
guide I have decided to take another route and simply post pricing in a simple three tier system
without marking for condition.
Example
Space Jerks, The
Awesome Corp., 1983
Dedicated Upright
Genre: Jerk Combat Simulator
LOWER AVERAGE HIGHER
550 700 850
In the above example, we see that Space Jerks has a value of 550-850. Now that is not to
say that if you find a truly mint condition Space Jerks it might not be worth more, or that a rat-
infested version won’t be worth less than this spread of prices. With any collectable prices can
and will also go up or down as the market dictates. Maybe Space Jerks gets an important cameo
in the next big superhero movie and the value skyrockets. Maybe after ten years Space Jerks
loses interest with collectors and the value drops. If you are collecting arcade games for an
investment, please reconsider this strategy. Regional value can also vary, collectors in areas with
higher costs of living tend to pay more for games than those who live in more rural areas. Asking
prices on sites such as eBay also tend to be higher than average, as well as prices from
commercial resellers who might offer things such as warranties or other services.
The prices listed in the guide are for working, and complete games. Game should be
mostly original if they are dedicated cabinets and if they are conversions have the major original
components that would have been included in the conversion kit. If the game is a dedicated
cabinet, the guide assumes it is factory original which would include the original CRT style
monitor if it would have come from the factory with one. Games lacking major original
components (PCB, sound board, unique controllers, original artwork, etc.), with heavy damage,
or are non-working will command less. Gamers which have modern replacement LED monitors
in game titles (when such monitors were not originally installed) are much less desirable. Games
in recreated cabinets are also considered to be worth less. Games which have seen little abuse,
were bought for home use only, have a unique pop cultural significance, or owned by someone in
The Vintage Arcade Gal Presents:
The Unofficial Vintage Arcade Videogame Collector Field and Price Guide
the industry (former video game employees, etc.) can command a much higher price. Always
consult an expert before buying something you are not sure about, well, anything.
A Word on Conversions
Conversion kits or titles became a staple in the arcade industry starting in the early 1980’s
and would often become the norm by 1985. Conversion game kits were sold to game operators as
an easy and cheaper way to change a no longer profitable title into a (hopefully) newer money
making one. Kits normally contained a new game PCB, game artwork, control panels, and
sometimes special items. Prices in the guide for games mostly or exclusively sold as conversion
kits take no measure on what game was originally housed in the cabinet. It is important to point
out however, this can make a big difference. Many original cabinets (even no longer in their
original condition or missing critical items) are of a higher value to collectors seeking to restore
original and rarer titles. For example, a generic uninteresting JAMMA based side scrolling fighter
in a unremarkable cabinet might have little value, but that same game in say, an original Computer
Space cabinet could be worth thousands of dollars.
Adding to the confusion of
conversion kits, many popular titles
mostly sold as kits were often sold as
dedicated uprights in cabinets made
by 3rd party companies used in many
titles. It can be a bit of a challenge to
find if these titles are indeed in a
“true” dedicated cabinet since most
serial numbers or ID labels by the late
1980’s were of a cheap paper sticker
style and easily damaged or removed.
A Final Word
My biggest hope with this
guide is those in the collecting
community see it as a valuable
companion in their collecting
endeavors and not a roadblock. This
guide will often be incorrect, or
collectors will probably often disagree with values assigned in this guide. Over time I hope the
guide will become more accurate with each annual update. Please feel free to send me constructive
criticism or ideas to make this guide better in the future at [email protected] . If you
are too angry to send an email, please instead send me all your arcade games instead as punishment.
Happy Hunting,

Arcade Cabinet Type
or style Identity
Guide
For the newcomer to arcade game collecting, the shear amount of technobabble can be a
bit overwhelming at times coming from the mouths of veteran hobbyists. One of the more basic
sets of terminologies one will hear, are the descriptions of different arcade game cabinet styles.
The traditional arcade game cabinet was really an evolution from years of electro-mechanical
game manufacturing, and other various influences of vending machines. Despite various
attempts from some manufactures to create much more artistically pleasing cabinets, it is
important to remember there are devices designed for commercial usage. Each design type had a
specific commercial “fate” or was designed around a need to hopefully allow the operator
purchasing them originally to make a profit from that target audience. As with all collectable
fields, you will find from time-to-time examples that do not fit into one specific lexicon or
category but overlap or are their “own thing”.
In the price guide portion of this book, you will find the listing for each know production
type for a particular title of game. This does not include prototype machines, outside of the USA
releases, or factory one offs. Some cabinet styles were made in very small numbers for some
game titles, and as future editions (hopefully) manifest themselves any new information will be
included in those updated editions.
Upright Cabinet
The Vintage Arcade Gal Presents:
The Unofficial Vintage Arcade Videogame Collector Field and Price Guide
The standard and most produced style of arcade game cabinet. Upright cabinets generally
will be somewhere between 5-6 feet tall and about 2-2 ½ feet wide, generally weighting around
250 pounds. Control panels can vary in size and control layout, but usually hold no more than the
capacity for up to four players. Monitor sizes usually range in the 19–25-inch size, and most
cabinets will have a traditional layout consisting of coin mechanics on the bottom font, a lighted
marquee on the top front of the cabinet, and an access door for maintenance on the back of the
machine.
From Left to Right, An Asteroids Deluxe Upright, Cabaret, and Cocktail Cabinet (Atari, Circa 1980)
Cabaret or Mini Cabinet
Cabaret cabinets (or sometimes called Minis) are small upright cabinets designed to fit
where full-sized arcade games could not fit easily. Often these cabinets contain different art
elements, smaller monitors (to accommodate for their smaller size) and where often produced in
much lower numbers than their full-size upright siblings. Not all manufactures made cabaret
cabinets, and not all titles were available from those companies were made into cabaret cabinets.
Cabaret cabinet production was mostly though roughly 1979-1984 with a few exceptions post
1984. Cabaret style cabinets are highly sought after by collectors and often are more valuable
when compared to the full-size version of the same game title.
Cocktail Cabinet
A table like arcade cabinet, allowing players to sit usually across from each other (but in
some cases, next to each other) and play head-to-head. These cabinets were designed with
restaurant patrons in mind, and were commonplace in the USA during the early 1980’s. Much
like cabaret cabinets, not all manufactures made cocktail cabinets and not all titles were made
available in this format. Despite this, most cocktail versions of games are slightly more common
than the cabaret versions (if both styles were made available) with some cocktail cabinet titles
having production numbers almost as plentiful as their upright versions (Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-
Man). Cocktail cabinets will usually have minimal artwork when compared to the upright
The Vintage Arcade Gal Presents:
The Unofficial Vintage Arcade Videogame Collector Field and Price Guide
version of the game, will have a large top surface made of glass, and sometimes a smaller
monitor. Some manufactures designed the game cabinet legs to adjust the cabinet to a higher or
lower position. On average cocktail machines tend to be less valued by collectors and tend to
fetch lower prices on the collector market with a few exceptions.
Trimline/Standing Cocktail Cabinet
Essentially a taller cocktail cabinet, intended to allow players to stand overtop of the
game and play. Sega used the term “Trimline” for a series of standing cabinets which were
mostly marketed outside the USA. Some manufactures offered optional platforms to allow
cocktail cabinets to stand higher to eliminate the need for benches or stools for players.
Bartop/Countertop Cabinet
Designed to sit on a bar top and allow casual
gameplay from patrons. Arcade game titles
from the original arcade manufacture’s
factory are rare in this format with a few
exceptions. Bartop cabinets are more common
for touch screen games, casual betting devices
(non pay-out casino style games), trivia
games, and modern emulation multigame
systems. (Left: Nintendo’s Playchoice
Countertop, Circa 1988)
Deluxe Cabinet
Somewhat of a catch-all description of a larger or more feature rich than a standard
upright style cabinet. The video screen could be larger, there could be a special interactive
control, control for more players at once, or specially build cabinet of an already established title
for a special purpose or venue.
Showcase Cabinet
A term generally applied to post 1990
cabinets with large monitor screens
semidetached from the control panel.
These cabinets were popular with one-
on-one fighting and gun shooting style
game kits. These game cabinets were
often not game specific but designed to
house conversion kits with a few
exceptions. (Right: Atari's Showcase
"33" Cabinet Atari Games, 1993)
The Vintage Arcade Gal Presents:
The Unofficial Vintage Arcade Videogame Collector Field and Price Guide
Sit-Down/Cockpit
Any number of varieties of game
cabinets which allowed the player to sit
down in an environment intended to
immerse the player into the gaming
experience. Usually attempts to mimic
the environment of a racecar or
airplane, since this style of game
cabinet is common with racing and
airplane combat games. Usually large
in size and produced in much lower
numbers than compared to the upright
cabinet style games of the same title.
(Left: Mylstar’s M.A.C.H. 3 Cockpit
Cabinet, Circa 1983)
Environmental
Somewhat of a subset of the cockpit style
game cabinet, the main difference being the
simulation of the environment compared to
sitting down in a faux car or airplane cabinet. The
cabinet essentially surrounds the player to allow
an enclosed experience but is not necessarily
attempting to portray a specific vehicle or craft
with the environment. Player can be sitting or
standing depending on the particulars of the
cabinet design. (Right: Bally-Midway’s Discs of
Tron Environmental Cabinet, Circa 1984)
Wall Cabinet
Cabinet style rare all over the world but even more so
in the USA, these cabinets were designed to be installed
directly into the wall. Not to be confused with non-video
game “Wall Games” from the 1960’s and 70’s. (Right:
European Phoenix Wall Mounted Cabinet, Manufacturer
Unknown)
The Vintage Arcade Gal Presents:
The Unofficial Vintage Arcade Videogame Collector Field and Price Guide
Left to Right: Sega's Standard Motorized Cabinet, The Deluxe, and a Standard Upright (Sega, 1986)
Motorized
Normally a sit-down style cabinet which moves with the player’s controls. Some
cabinets will use advanced hydraulics to create an experience close to that of an amusement park
ride. These games are commonly based around driving or aerial themed game titles. Cabinets
will often be large and very heavy and were mostly made in very limited numbers due to their
original expense. Motorized cabinets are often festooned with elaborate lighting and cabinet
designs and can be difficult to keep running properly.
Special/Unique
Despite these mentioned general
categories, there will still be unique arcade game
cabinets that don’t quite fall into any of the
above categories at all. The unique traits of these
games will be briefly described in the price
guide section when deemed necessary or
meaningful. These unique cabinets could include
games with multiple monitors, multiple sides,
unique cabinet structures, unique materials,
experimental technology, or hybrid games. Some
cabinets styles were manufactured exclusively
for specific company franchises, stores, arcades,
or movie theatres as well. (Right: Bally-
Midway’s Video Game Pinball Hybrid Baby
Pac-Man, Circa 1982)
