Of these, 173 of them are original dedicated machines, 0 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 11 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.
Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.
Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.

According to muxway, this game is based on the OpenDynamics articulated rigid body dynamics engine, which should make for some fun code reading someday.
You boot up a standard game, go to “Load Saved Game” and the Xbox goes all freaky as the cruelly composed data in the saved game causes the machine to have a heart attack and tear through its own memory, circumventing all the carefully designed encryption and lockout code.

 Metroblogging Atlanta: Of video game music and concert attendance
My personal opinion is that including "new classics" such as music from films and video games is a great way to de-mystify and popularize the traditionally stuffy realm of classical music.
So I am sure the concert created awareness of the games music being so popular, and also awareness that the ASO is forward looking, but I doubt that #3 in relation to video games happened much afterwards.
At one point amazon would list certain subsets (based on geography/companies or somthing) that certain amazon items were popular in (ie This item is #24 in Atlanta buyers) I am not sure if that data is obtainable though.
