I love the classic games but would NOT want that contraption sitting in my gameroom!

Someone created this ugly table top for some silly reason and Coca-Cola doesn't feel it's worth the time and/or effort... Now, if these started showing up every month... Well then, I think this would provoke a response... Title: Re: Coke Arcade game Post by: Sodak Bob on October 07, 2007, 08:32:00 am Going to be a tough sell at $2,195. I can't imagine anyone wanting something like this, - it will be a one of a kind.

Title: Re: Coke Arcade game Post by: bubba on October 07, 2007, 07:01:13 pm Thats a cool game Dr. Galaga.. do you believe the story behind it?
Quote This is one of the more interesting Atari collectibles. Coco-Cola commissioned a game from Atari to give to their Atlanta employees. In this case, Atari redesigned Space Invaders so that you shoot the letters "P E P S I" instead of space creatures. There were 125 copies of this game made. There is no real box for this one, just a flimsy Styrofoam shell. So it isn’t really a prototype, but it wasn’t a commercially available game either. And no, Coca-Cola does not have any copies left.

Anyone else know.
Title: Re: Coke Arcade game Post by: dr galaga on October 07, 2007, 09:16:10 pm If you are just looking for 48 games, then you may want to check out Lizard Lick (http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/pages/boards.shtml).

I remember reading it originally, but I couldn't find it again... Title: Re: Coke Arcade game Post by: aspbear on October 08, 2007, 05:43:24 pm I know this guy, he is not a bad person. I would say he has bought this somewhere and is just trying to sell it. It sure is ugly though but I guarantee that he is not the person that put that monster together..
Title: Re: Coke Arcade game Post by: coke_and_stuff on October 08, 2007, 06:41:22 pm Rick is a good guy he has rebuilt a few small electric motors for me, He is SHARP on his electronics. I highly doubt he painted this thing up, he does a ton of wheeling and dealing on arcade games. Ive been in his shop a number of times and every time amazed at the turn around he has on his machines.
