What is the going value on a nice 100% working Warrior? Game condition
8 to 9. I don't have one but I would like to and I know where one is. I
would just like to know what the value would be to a collector.

Thanks,
Todd

I have only seen three of these in the many years I have been looking for
one.
one sold for $2500 on ebay last year, and it did not have the original
joysticks installed, do I passed on it.
the other one a guy wanted $5000 for, I don't think he sold it. the was
kinda water damage, IMO.
the third one, I know an op that has it, but he wont put a price on in at
the moment, go figure.

If anybody out there has a nice all original one they want to sell, email
me.


Troy,

I remember seeing one of these in Aladdin's Castle in the Reading, PA mall
in 1980. A few feet away was a Death Race. Those were the days...

Were there really that few of these titles made? Neither of them would be
very convertible to other games.

yeah, both games were very rare, I did see a death race back in the day.
but no warrior, And growing up in Vegas, I was at tons of arcades.

When I was researching my book, the (rather broad) range I found was
$1000-$3000. Like Troy said, you don't see many of them--and you'd be
hard pressed to find a WORKING model in the lower end of that price
range. Pretty much a seller's market on a game that rare.

I played one last year at California Extreme. It was great, I think the
joysticks were original as well.

Somebody brought one to the Texas Pinball Festival two years ago, but it was
not turned on and so I guess it wasn't working. I don't know who...

I think Jon (aka Evil Exidy) had one not long ago. I forgot what he got it
for.

my warrior came into my collection quite easily.
i remember looking at it on klov one day and thought that would be a
neat game to have.
a couple of months later, at a warehouse raid, i found one. i have about
$225 in it and that was considered an inflated price due to the contact
person i used to get into the warehouse.
of course, this is old news to some of you, but since were on topic :)

Thanks Todd :) I looked for a Warrior for a very long time, before I
even knew what 'collecting' was it was one of the first games I could
describe was 'a 3dish knights and swords game' as I couldn't even remember
the name of it at the time. I just knew I wanted one from my memories as
a kid in the 80's. (oddly enough, the games I remember the most from back
then are Centipede, Space Ace, Warrior and Dedicated Major Havoc). So,
after a few years of looking Jeff at Videotopia had an extra that he was
willing to part with, so I bit the money bullet and bought it from him.
Jeff's a good guy and actually brought the thing to my house in his truck
from NJ, nothing but good things to say about him. I've had the game for I
believe about 2 years now, for a while it had some small problems so I
rebuilt the power supply and thanks to Omar Vega's willingness to point out
what the +5 adjustment pot looked like it's been rock solid since :)

Anyway, end of cheesy story..

Fixed one for a guy in Cleveland about 7 years ago. Can't help
but wonder where it's migrated to since then...

If you are referring to the one I had on ebay, it sold for about $3k.
+/- $200. I can't recall if it was plus shipping or shipping included.
I haven't thought about video games for quite some time
