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.

Well there's a manual and a flyer on ebay for the next few hours...
Be careful not to mix it up with this --

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

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..
Check it out here: www.qwak.co.uk
Cheers!
