Thomas the Swede

Not sure how many were manufactured, but this one was standing in a Hotel in Sweden in early 1980s. This was pre-arcade hall time here.

It has 12 games. Breakout is a single player game, but you can play several in a turn. The other are multiplayer. The games can be played with options - like basketball with the option "jump" to change place up with the button. Then there is "whammy" which accelerate the ball when going through the bar you with. "catch" is when you can hold the ball with the button. The game is really fun to play 4 players, as it lets you play in two teams.

Ok so I have had this multiplayer arcade game around since I was a kid in the 1980 something. But I dont have a place for it and thought it might make some Atari fans out there happy. Its been standing inside all the time and because of this its in very good condition, not much rust, no damage. This was one of the first multiplayer arcade game ever made. I even heard stories that Steve (Woz) Wozniak (at apple) designed some of the games. Breakout. So its a classic. And its really fun to play 4 people all at ones. Everything works, but a bit glitchy as sometimes it starts up fine when connecting the power, other times only the buttons light up. It performs a self-test once in a while and after that it seems to work. A bit of maintance would probably make it work perfectly again. One controller is a bit glitchy, meaning the bar you play with on the screen sometime jumps up when using the contoller wheel but it works to play with anyway. As you see on the video the B&W TV monitor works fine when playing the games. I have started it up several times this year and played it with my son. Its also coin operated. And I will through in a bag of Swedish old Coins together. I am looking for a serious buyer. The game is in Jonkoping, Sweden. Contact me and place a bid. t.spare.jkpg@gmail.com MOV_0299.mp4 IMG_8237.MOV IMG_8236.MOV FullSizeRender.mov IMG_8253.MOV
