Big load that he got sued after all that. Good thing he didn't have to give it up.

I just discovered Moon Lander by Taito. It looks a bit more than a Lunar Lander clone. KLOV says it is raster monitor but a current craigslist ad in Los Angeles says vector. Just a mistake?

Yeah, it's a mistake, it's raster. Possibly LOOKS vector with the rocks in the first stage but it's not a vector game.

I would say you could probably understand why someone would get the vector thing wrong with the asteroids, but the rest is obviously raster though... Attachments:

Correction: Sebring was definitely raster, this has been confirmed.

Well Stiletto I looked into the Predators game and eventually did find an article quoting one of the developers saying that the game was NOT vector. He was responding to the widespread belief that the game was vector which was based on the claim of one of the other developers, whome he says is mistaken.
With the lack of good information and material evidence I'm not sure it really matters how we classify this game. Doesn't it still appear that the game was INTENDED to be vector at some stage of development? Was development of the game ever actually completed? .. Predators is only listed as a prototype on our list.

Does anyone know anything about the 1982 mini cade table top arcade units? I have Star Trek and Hyper Chase units that I am buying. Are they worth anything?

^Do you have any photos of those or anything? I never heard of those. The Vectrex carts, sure, but "arcade units"?

They sold for 500 each and I am kicking myself for not bidding.
Had the manuals and boxes.
Played them
Mini cade arcade wooden box looks like pictures I have seen with coin slot and blinking light.
