$ 15,000

This is considered my flagship game of my collection. Took me 10 years to even find one. Super rare game. with Less than 50 ever made. I only know of 1 other copy that exists here in the US. Fantastic game made in 1994. Has Addams family rules, and even a "thing" flips flipper. Playfield is perfect. Every lamp socket has been replaced with brand new sockets. Originals were crap. Plays 100%. Boards are perfect, and this version has English roms. Other one all the text is in spanish. Cabinet is fairly good condition. Bottom front corners are cracked out (as all selic games) because the game has special wide legs that curl around into the cabinet. Translite has a very small piece cracked out in the bottom right corner. Added a motor to jupiter, so it slowly rotates during gameplay. has 2 different 3 ball multiballs, a 2 ball multiball. (very similar to TAF). Shoots very well. Playfield has thick plastic top on it so it can't wear. has been LED'd with comets 2smd daylight frosted. Very visible. and nothing needs to be done to it. Located in SE WI, come try it out, but i can ship, even pallet and ship.

Short gameplay walkthrough can be seen here.

color DMD would be awesome in here.

Just made a new gameplay video. It's short but the last video I made was when I first got it, and the lamp matrix wasn't working right. I fixed that issue and now it works 100%. and now I understand the rules a little better than I did when I made the last video.

Wow as a teen I absolutely loved Kubrick's and Clarke's 2001 A Space Odyssey! What a great pin! Love the backglass with the ship and monolith. If I had the means it would already be mine. GLWTS and thanks for adding another one to my wishlist!

Yes, I believe that my old one is the only other one over here currently. I have a good friend in the Czech Republic that owns two of them, and I know of a couple others in Spain.

Looks like you'll find out based on how quickly this one sells. The Spinball games didn't go much past 6k, but there seem to be a few more of them floating around the US than this title.

In the spring/summer of 1999 I decided that I was going to sell the majority of my collection (15-20 games) and use the funds to purchase a DeLorean (ended up with #1905, a '81 5sp, black int, fuel flap). Used games were plentiful, pretty cheap and some titles were being closed out NIB for $1995 or less. Sold top titles like TZ, CFTBL, WH20, IJ, TNG, plus lots of second tier but pretty uncommon games. "I'll just buy them back in a few years" i told myself.

October 25th, 1999 was just a few months later.

I sold mine in 1998, De Loreans were a lot cheaper back then that's for sure.

I think I paid $13500 for mine. It was 1 owner in Houston, and always serviced by DMC Houston. I had them do $1500-$2000 in freshen-ups before I drove it home. I sold it in 2007.

What kind of question is this? They obviously make them in the future, as easily as they make skittles today. Go to the future, buy a bunch, bring them back. Problem sovled.

Yep, we bought that TNG from you for 1300. Was the 2nd game we ever got (after Earthshaker). Played the hell out of it and I think we eventually sold it back to you for the same amount a few years later? Bummer on the other ones.. but hey, Delorean!
