SoundGammon #1 Posted October 12, 2008 Hi gang... Here are a couple of pics of Armor Attack that I'll be listing on E-Bay in the next day or so. For those unfamiliar with the game, think of Atari's 2600 Combat with multi-attacking computer tanks and helicopters. It's cool when you shoot a helicopter and it crashes and explodes again...hit and run or be destroyed! Some computer tanks don't die right away, the turrent tries to get you with one more shot. It's a very challenging 2 player game. Also you can't shoot the other players tank. If you drive into him, you can't move. There is also a team score in two player mode. MISSION COMPLETED!

That looks very cool. I used to love that game. Where are you located. I may end up bidding on that bad boy. V Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cassidy Nolen #3 Posted October 13, 2008 You didn't mention the fact it is an awesome (and rare) Vector game...plays just like the Vectrex version of it...only way cooler in cocktail form. Cinematronics really pushed the envelope back then. I think they are the most underappreciated brand of arcades. Great games...who else would do a driving game in vector? That cab needs some tlc but the game is rare enough (working too!) that its way worth it. Very cool. Good luck with the sale. For those of you that don't know, Cinematronics and Vectorbeam had a unique vector monitor and driver assembly that is not interchangeable with other brands. So if you ever need parts, its a Star Castles you are looking for, not an Asteroids... CN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only corrosion is on the monitor FRAME. All the boards look new! Also I'm bidding on a service manual on E-Bay that I plan to include with it.

My buddies parents live out there and we make a trip out every few years. It may be time for a trip lol. How much are you looking to sell it for? Or is it strickly ebay fodder? That or are you looking for trades of some sort? Let me know. V Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
