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!

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.

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 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......
