We Know Which Games Are the Rarest!
TwinGalaxy
historical museum of videogames this summer and invites everybody to
contact us about the rare games they have (or have seen in local arcades).
When our professional videogame team visited the offices of Sega in San
Diego in August, 1983, we were shown the prototype for a new game called
Ixion. Eventually only 4 copies were made and sold in the L.A. area. None
can be found now. We will buy all four of them.
Atari told us in 1983 that they had produced only 400 Quantums and 400
Gravitars.
In 1982, Nintendo demonstrated to us their original prototype for Donkey
Kong which was called Sky Skipper. They made only one and kept it in
their Washington state headquarters. We will buy it if anyone now has it.
Also, Nintendo made only two(2) "Pig Newtons." Thjey kept one and sent the
other one out on an Aircraft Carrier in the Pacific. We will buy this game
if it it surfaces.
The first Donkey Kong was placed in a Seattle arcade. We will buy it. Who
has it?
Do you remember Twin Galaxies? We were writen up in the January, 1983
edition of LIFE Magazine and were on "That's Incredible" in January, 1983.

As in "The Walter Day Twin Galaxies Arcade, Ottumwa, Iowa", the official
source for _Joystik_ magazine's High Score Board?

Where is the historical museum? Will it be open to the public? Will
the games be playable? Are there any specific reasons that collectors
might be interested in going there (other than the obvious interest
in classic games)?

I have an mint Gravitar in my front room bought new in the box in 1983.
Atari sold them to employees for $250 (only one per employee) in the
box just to unload them. Their are probably quite a few floating around
the Silicon Valley area like mine. Now Quantum was a very cool game,
played great with that trakball! Actually designed for Atari by General
Computer Corp. outside Boston.

Sky Skipper released by Parker Brothers for the Atari 2600 (Copyright 1981
Nintendo, right? says it on here.) If you're interested, buzz me.
