Phil

 

I'd keep hold of it considering you still have the box. Might not be worth a great deal now, but it will be one day!

 

oh yes..!!!!!!!!!!! bloody hell have you not cleaned your room for 20 years...!!!!

What about those things that look similar but you put those round dics things in and they had different pictures on them...????


Dan

also found
AstroWars!
CaveMan!
also Mattel Intelivison!!

Phil

 

did you have any transformers...???? used to have a few of them but dont know where they are anymore..!!

And everyone must have 'mousetrap' in there loft..!

Dan

 

I had astro wars. Got it for christmas. Doesnt it come in the form of a silver square box with a screen at the front with a little stick and a large round button to the left/right to do the firing. When you start her up it gives you some cheesy bog-basic music.

My cousin had the sky attack tomy tronic. There were 3 types. 1 in red (sky attack), 1 in blue (a racing car game) and i forgot the other.

 

I've still got the original frogger

like a little arcade machine form the 1980's big yellow box for a game you could play with better graphix on a mobile phone.
scary how things move on

 

The one thing I always wanted was one of these




Never got one though ... you can get them on ebay, but I don't think it would be the same these days .........

Steve

 

A mint Grandstand 'Astro Wars' in the box is currently worth £200+
Alas, I don't have the box for mine
Still got Munchman and Scramble both in their boxes

Paul

BIG-TRAK I had one!!!(didn't hav the Tripper forthe back though) Dad sold it for £20...years and years ago! must have been 1981 ish... that was a lot of money then!

Phil

 

don't you think i'm sad.
took a pick of my top cupboard!
heres the games.


Phil

 

have a look on ebay, I know big traks have been up for sale recently

 

Ah the memories of warming my dead batteries up on the fire to squeeze another 10 mins to play astro wars!

 

This thread brings back some memories.
My wife sold her Mini Munchman on ebay last year for £56
She currently has an atari lynx(bought from ebay) and can't put it down. Retro gaming is mega cool.

 

It all started with an atari and playing tank pong.

Then to a BBC Micro and playing elite.

Then to a spectrum 48k (the posh gits had the 128 with built-in tape recorder) and the agonising will it or wont it load. But the games - manic miner, ultimate play the game sabre wulf knightlore, alien 8 - were class.

Then to a commodore 64 playing mission impossible and raid over moscow.

Then to the console war with the megadrive, SNES, playstation, jaguar, sega saturn, Nintendo 64.

And then to a crappy PC playing doom, onto another crappy PC playing quake and finally to a decent spec PC playing counter-strike which will be crap in about 6 months.

 

what was that concel call that had its own build in Screen... the hand set came from that.....the only game i can think it had was Astroids...and other stuff in black and white graffix.



who had the hand held Donkey Kong... i had the split screen Donkey Kong 2... untill my sister through it i the bath!

 

If you know anybody selling an Evil Kinevil stunt cycle I'd be seriously interested!!!

 

I had donkey kong too..!!! i think it folded in half and was a brown colour..!!

Dan

 

I got a couple of Intelivision games(aint got the console it was hired from Radio Rentals) up in my attic plus i found..Pacman,Astrowars,Caveman,some sort of electronic cowboy game,sinclair zx spectrum 48 with tons of games,a couple of megadrives and probably my best find a boxed Sinclair mini handheld b+w TV(circa 82),NOW that must be worth some money..btw it still works.

And one sad Binnatone games console,you know the one with ping pong game.

 

That Duvet cover looks even older!!

Hmmm nice brown and cream!! Suppose if you have Gold Wheels in figures!!

Pete

 

what about the little pocket n watch games that were repetitively addictive.

including having to save the parachutists in a boat, putting out indian fires in a fort, crossing a diving turtle river......

 

My mate had a "vectrex" (think it was called)by M.B games, thing with colour moniter and plug in games ,i just remember scammble and astriods,cool ........that bonus tune in astro wars still haunts me.We were so easaly pleased then..

 

If anyone had an atari 2600 vcs these are hitting the shores anytime soon http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/docs/atari10.html

Bet everyone remembers Simon and Merlin too
