Story
In 1982, the arcade world was reeling from the success of Centipede, and Atari's engineers were tasked with creating a sequel that was faster, meaner, and more complex.
Maker / Origin
Atari was the undisputed titan of the early gaming industry, founded by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney in a small office in Santa Clara.
Condition & Value
The cabinet appears to be in exceptional condition with very little 'swelling' at the base, which is common in these units. Value is driven by the 'dedicated' status of the cabinet and the condition of the original artwork.
