It's not an easy game to find. They only made 1,000 of them and MOST of them were sold outside of the USA. (Rarest regular production DE machine) I had two of them at the same time. Still can't believe that!

I have an extra chrome DE lockdown bar for $80. They are very hard to track down.

Agree 100%. There is more than one reason I refuse the sell this game.

Most all of them are this way. It's normal for this title.

Yup, when I was looking for one, it took me 3 years to find one.

I think that’s the one that is usually NOT broken... I’ve had two games and both sets of the cave plastics had issues. I would be in to buy a set if $150 or less.

Yeah, that's a great deal. I would never sell mine because it's too difficult to find a reasonably priced one for sale, any given day of the year.

I'm telling you guys, I played this game 100's of times and was burnt out on it and almost sold it 7 years ago. I can't believe I held on to it but I swear that it's one of the most fun multiplayer games from the 1980's. Thousands of plays later, I still own it. I truly believe it is the first great game made by Data East Pinball.

No, I personally think they are the worst possible display option you can choose.

Original for me. I don’t like replacement LED displays and I really don’t like blue LED displays.

Those go along with my calculations as well. Also, don't overlook http://ipsnd.net/ either. It has some good logic for people submitting info and it's a good indicator about what exists overseas vs. what is still in the states.

I've had parts of 3 Tor. Alleys in the last 10 years... Only still have one. I honestly believe both of the other machines were sadly parted out to revive other games. Nothing I could really do about it, I sold one as a complete working game, the other as parts only... Doesn't make sense to keep piles of parts laying around and collecting dust when those parts can make other machines not turn to dust. So, 33.33% of the ones I've owned are still flipping.

http://ipsnd.net/ indicates that 32 out of 2002 complete or parts of games have been registered. That would roughly be about 10% of what is expedited to still be around (250-350 machines). Jives with some other games with 10,000-ish production #'s (with 800-1200 games registered for those titles). Also, Pinside owners list is more info to support these estimates.

Easy to turn over? I wouldn’t say it’s easy. In ten years I’ve done it 3 times and I do play the game a lot.

I’m ok with the features not getting harder. I have the game set on extra hard and it does keep the scores lower.

Interesting about the call outs not being used for scoring. Kinda glad they kept that out.

Actually, it sounds like you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. They had/have VERY few games that are worn and/or abused. Most titles are either in above average or very nice condition. “Put through the ringer” makes it sounds like they were are messed up and worn down.

They had hundreds of games that probably got a couple hundred plays a year, over the course of 4-5 days... I mean, I play my games more often than that and all my games look and play great.

It’s just not a super well known and popular title. Could be priced a bit high. I have had mine for over 10 years... don’t think I would ever sell it. I think it’s a lot of fun and if no one else does, it doesn’t bother me a bit.

Well, some people see the truth! Mainstream expensive titles are literally everywhere. Every show, every barcade, every collection, every frickin’ where. Makes wanting to own most of them much less appealing every day that goes bye.

I understand why it did not sell well back in the day but... it's actually hard to find someone these days that will NOT admit it's a fun and entertaining game.

I love TP but man those blue displays are horrible. Out of any pinball thing that has even been devised, I wish those green and blue colored displays had never been created. When I look at them my eyes start twitching and I feel like I’m going crazy.

Sounds a bit better than “a working project”. Still, I think that’s at the very top of what you should ask for one with significant wear around the pops.

One thing you have that’s great is new plastics and mountains. Those are expensive to replace.

I still own one if that’s any indication of “clouded current market judgement”. It’s a very fun game and is fairly hard to find these days.

Exactly. That SEPARATE sound+scoring switch is actually activated when the pop bumper pulls down/in.

Is it gone or beat up? Reason I ask is because it will be VERY hard to find one. Best option might be to repair and repaint the one you have.
