VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Very Rare - There is one known instance of Red Earth owned by one of our 3,650 members who participate in our machine census project. It is a set of circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 59,775 machines (3,517 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 2 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price. There are 2 VAPS members looking for Red Earth board sets.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Technical

This game's CP System III is roughly four times as powerful as the old CP System II board. The new hardware can handle 256 colours per sprite and with a total of 512 colour palettes, that means it can display up to 32,768 colours on-screen.

Trivia

This was the first game to employ the CP System III arcade board.
