    Default Original "Soylent Green" COMPUTER SPACE cab on eBay!

    OMG. Yep, supposedly the original white Computer Space cabinet, serial #9003, is up on eBay as we speak. It's going for a princely sum, but I wouldn't judge it as an unreasonable price due to both its video game and Hollywood pedigrees. (C'mon, Chuck Heston was in the room with this thing - and he didn't even shoot it up!)

    Just a heads up for the most SERIOUS collectors out there. I'd love for one of my pals to wind up with this just so I can stand next to it someday.

    Damn, I wish I had money for that. I absolutely love the cabinet design and everything. I dont think I would buy the white one though, if only for the fact knowing my luck, it would get discoulored.

    That thing looks like it belongs in a Kubrick arthouse flick.

    SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!! (sorry- I always do that when someone brings up Soylent Green)

    I used to have one of those in origional metal flake Purple

    Worthless game but a cool piece of art, these days I wish I still had it.

    As for color fade I cant really comment on that one, but everyone I have seen had a really heavy gelcoat on them that is uber tuff, mine included.

    I was kind of thinking the same thing.

    S'funny, I just borrowed Soylent Green the day before this topic started! I'll have to show this auction to my kids and tell them that this is the arcade game that will one day be in the living room of the rich dude who gets bludgeoned by the guy who will get smooshed under a riot control scoop trying to get away from the guy who yelled "people!" in the church after pushing some other guy onto the crackers made from the old guy who died watching the movie with all the flowers and sheep in it.
    Chronogamer. Every game. Chronologically.
