An ultra‑rare two‑player Computer Space arcade cabinet is up for auction on RR Auction, drawing gaming collectors. The sparkling emerald cabinet is bidding at $6,748 with 12 bids and should fetch over $20,000. The auction opened on July 24 and ends August 20 at 7 PM ET.\n\nFirst released as a single‑player game in late 1971, Computer Space is seen as the first arcade video game, created by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney of Syzygy Engineering and distributed by Nutting Associates.

The 1973 two‑player version added dual joysticks, kept the $0.25 price per round, and featured a sparkly green cabinet.\n\nThe cabinet is in fine condition with slight scuffing and scratches, a working screen, and original rotational joysticks topped by red fire buttons. Its front panel has a quarter slot, coin return, start and two‑player buttons, making it one of the few surviving 12 bids‑tracked examples that are practically unobtainable.\n\nThis lot belongs to the Steve Jobs & the Computer Revolution: The Apple 50th Anniversary Auction Part Two, which gathers memorabilia from early tech pioneers, including Steve Jobs’ items, signed CEO photos, an Atari prototype console, and vintage computers, iPods and iPhones. Bidding ends at 7 PM ET on August 20.
