Cyclopes is easily the best game the company ever produced (LNM prototype notwithstanding). There were owners who swore by it, but with only 400 ever made it went otherwise unloved for two decades due to the art package, until Visual PinMAME came along and started to show folks how good a GamePlan it really is. Word of mouth and general price inflation eventually did the rest. The tech was antiquated even for the time though, the soundboard is discrete circuitry rather than CPU-based.

Quoted from dothedoo:

Not true. The MSU-3 sound board is 6808 or 6802 based.

Ah, ok. PinMAME has had it listed as 'discrete', so presumably that refers to the actual sound generator rather than control? The sounds do have an old 'analogue' quality to them, if you know what I mean.

Quoted from Pahuffman:

Also, games from this era can easily be found for much less than that down here on a regular basis.

Apples and oranges. This is a very particular game.
