Last I checked there were 3 in the entire United States and nobody was selling. I doubt you will find one of these. I tried for 4 years.

One will be exhibited during our Festi-Flip Show in Saint-Etienne, France (October 20-21). I am looking forward to playing it ! I can inquire if the guy bringing it is selling, but I strongly doubt it.

Nice pin!

There's a few more than 3 now, but yeah, they don't change hands often. There's one a few hours South of you, Neo, but the guy still won't sell.

Europe is the place to find them. I helped a buddy import one last year and I've passed on a few others to pursue other rarities, so at least they're not impossible to find over there.

there's 12 registered on pinballowners.com

Hey Neo, what would you pay for one nice/working ?
Your price police posts always make me smile

Btw I've been on the hunt for that over 2-3 years. There is one in WI but it's not for sale, same guy bought the Stern Lazor Lord.

Well, the guy that got LL has a Spooky. Thought it was WI. he is midwest regardless. He bought a game from me and is a great guy.

Isn't there a guy in the Chicagoland area that has one?

That's one of the guys I mentioned, and unfortunately he's not selling.

He's in Nebraska, and he is indeed a very nice guy.

Matt, saw your collection on pinballowners. You have a very unique and interesting collection. I would love to find a Mephisto some day, but it seems unlikely. How do you like that game?

Thanks for the kind words, Gabe. I'm glad you like my collection.

The Mephisto is pretty cool. The gameplay isn't mind blowing or anything, but it's pretty fun. The artwork, sound effects, and music are really great!

These are definitely hard to find, but they're out there. I got mine from Slovenia, but there are a few that pop up in Spain every now and then. I can keep my eyes peeled if you'd be interested in importing one....

Good luck. I have also been keeping my eyes out for a Spooky for a very long time. It's one of those games that seems almost mythical. I would rather find a Mephisto, though.

The guy selling it is in Wisconsin (I've bought from him as well). If the guy who bought it is in nebraska, I know the buyer too (he was at MGC). He's really buying up a lot of pins.

Matt, it could be the very same individual. When I picked up one of my pins from another collector, I was admiring his Zac collection and at that time was (I should say still) and that's
when he told me about the other collector who had a very unique collection - that's how Spooky came up. I thought he mentioned he did the import route on this title?

I agree! And I thought I had a taste for the unique titles!

How 'bout some videos of some of those titles? Would love to see some of these in action!

Matt does indeed have a very interesting collection. Video would be awsome because thats the only way i will ever see some of the pins he has.

I'm pretty sure it's the same guy (his name is Joe). It's been a long while since we've chatted, so I can't remember if he imported it or not....

Thanks, guys. I would love to get some good videos of these games someday. It'll definitely happen at some point, I just don't know when. So many irons in the fire right now....

Yeah, that's a really neat collection you have there, Matt. I see you uploaded some photos to Pinside. Thanks for that!

Thank you, Gweem. I'm glad you like the collection!

Regarding the few photos (of VW) that I did submit, I must admit that I feel somewhat bad, as those are pics of someone else's machine that were given to me long ago, when I was still on the hunt for one. I had none of my own at the time, and none were here so I thought I'd at least show people what the game looks like.

Anyway, I really do need to upload some pics of my VW (and the rest of my machines for that matter)

Yes, there are 12 known in the world (they made more, but many were trashed). I said 3 in the USA. Maybe a couple of more were imported since I was looking, but certainly no more than that.
It is a game most people will never see in their lifetime, even if they try. Zankor is another one.

Joe sent me a video link awhile back after he finished restoring his Spooky. Here you go guys, check it out.

Frank, is that the translite that you guys made, or did he end up finding a backglass? I was just watching this the other day and I thought it looked great!

Yes, its a translite I made complete with reverse lettering and masking on the back. David hosts all of the translites I worked on in 2007.

I understand they helped several people that broke backglasses or were missing them. The Robot translite was the first one I had printed on the translucent vinyl and it was so nice having something in the backbox (my robot was missing a backglass when I got it).

I don't think Joe ever found a Scramble backglass for his other rare game. I never found source material to help.

Now that's a game you don't see very often, much better artwork than it's donor I managed to find the backglass for sale NOS, so will use it as gamesroom decor, but have never seen the whole game...

On the note of Spooky (and as someone mentioned: Zankor) I've been able to pick up both of these... but then I do live in Europe, so have an advantage there
