Anyone know about old school arcade games?

Sign in to disble this ad
My sister has an old Donkey Kong acarde game she needs to find a home for. We are trying to determine it's worth (if worth anything.) This one is the sit down version (kinda like a coffe table.) When you turn it on you hear some sort of sound effect letting you know it's on. The screen seems backlit but does not display anything. Is there a market for these old games?

Which type is it? Check some prices on eBay.

My parents used to have a few arcade machines when I was a toddler. I think they were both identical (some sort of football game or pinball machine). I wish I was old enough to use them at the time.

They also owned a miniature Pac-man arcade-style game that I believe Sears sold in the 80s. I think they still have it. I don't think it's particularly valuable, but it's a nice little collectible.

I once sold a cocktail Tempest game on ebay. Shipping was a hassle, I had to crate it and drop it off at a freight forwarder. Otherwise it worked out ok. The fact that yours does not work is probably not good for the resale value.
