Re: Pokey Eliminator differences?

yeah, they both came out after and as you said, had the 'real' quad pokey installed. But
that was just about the only reason why I could think that there was a different sized
Quad Pokey eliminator. All three games were in the development process in 1983, Maybe you
have a proto Quad Pokey Eliminator :-) Now you can sell it on ebay for $100! ;-)
