Okay, so I collect (on occasion) Arcade cabinets, I have a few cool ones like; Simpson Arcade, Galaga, Asteroids, and Computer Space, but I'm in search of "Qwak!"

It's an arcade game released in 1974 (you can see a clip of the gameplay in the original release of Dawn of the Dead). Now, I know this game is quite rare, but I haven't so much as seen one in person, not in the wild, not in a collection, not at a convention... nothing, and I desperately want one, I have the original prototype, and I want the cabinet to go with it.

Any leads? I'm willing to pay quite a bit for one.

Sorry.. ebay and craigslist are the most reliable game-for-sale resources for me, and they came up empty. I would check back there here and there though. Good luck!

Well there's a manual and a flyer on ebay for the next few hours...

If they had color back then, then why were some later games made in black and white?

Try searching on VAPS.org and see who has one. Everything has a price....

This only one I know of is owned by Scott Evans, which I am sure you already know...

Just a little side note, I actually developed a game called Qwak (not the Atari coin-op Qwak!), the original game was for the BBC, well over 20 years old now. I've updated it recently however..
