Anyone got a ballpark on this? All I keep seeing are the same unsold YAJ listings. I got offered one in trade, and I'm just not sure at all about the value.
 
Oh man, that's WAY better than I thought. I remember seeing a board on YAJ that kept getting relisted for over $1500 for months, but haven't seen a sold price. I really didn't know what to expect.

Maybe I'll be adding this to my collection then! :)
 
it will need -5v and also you need to rotate the monitor since the pcb cant do it via dip switch like other games. But seems like a cool game enough game. There was a PS3 port that looked pretty good.

This may be one of the few instances where a port is better than buying the real thing...

-5V is a pain, but do-able. Flipping the monitor wires every time I want to play it... Ugh... Not sure I'm willing.

I've played a ton of this on MAME, and growing up Athena was my mother's favorite NES game (I'm still trash at it some 20 years on). Thought it'd be cool to pick up before she visits this year.

I hope they port/emulate it on the Switch. Would love to give it a go. Seems like the switch is getting SNKs catalog of games.

could make a switch that switches the wires so you wouldn't need to rewire each time you changed pcbs
 
For the record I've missed 2 of these in the past few days. One at $100 shipped and the other at $100 plus shipping.

So Athena is *probably* a hundred-ish game at the moment?
