And of these, 1 is a conversion in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 9 are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

For Sale - There is one active VAPS member with an extra Tank Force circuit board for sale.

Wanted - No active members have added this machine to their wish list. There is one active VAPS member looking for a Tank Force circuit board set.

At any given time, our active members are listing on VAPS on average of 4,400 games they are looking for, and 3,600 games for sale.

This game ranks a 5 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most often seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.
