Okay, so I collect (on occasion) Arcade cabinets, I have a few cool ones like; Simpson Arcade, Galaga, Asteroids, and Computer Space, but I'm in search of "Qwak!"

It's an arcade game released in 1974 (you can see a clip of the gameplay in the original release of Dawn of the Dead). Now, I know this game is quite rare, but I haven't so much as seen one in person, not in the wild, not in a collection, not at a convention... nothing, and I desperately want one, I have the original prototype, and I want the cabinet to go with it.

Any leads? I'm willing to pay quite a bit for one.

Just a little side note, I actually developed a game called Qwak (not the Atari coin-op Qwak!), the original game was for the BBC, well over 20 years old now. I've updated it recently however..

Check it out here: www.qwak.co.uk

Cheers!

A lot of the categories for eBay UK, don't allow you to add any price for postage. So, when the buyer wins and pays for an item you can't ship it out to the, because no company will ship your item for £0. It the buyer complains, ask them if they can ask eBay to direct you to a company who will ship your item for £0 (the maximum eBay will allow you to charge for shipping). Simple!

Always loved playing Psygnosis games.

Still remember most of their intro's (The Killing Game Show intro was brilliant).

Nitro was awesome.

Awesome was too, btw.

Oh yeah, Killing Game Show was one of the few Psygnosis games I would rate as having any playability to it.. Nice game!

Didn't think to much to awesome though, sure, it looked great, lots of nice special effects taking advantage of Amiga h/w, but seemed a little lacking in the game-play dept somehow (just my opinion).
