nathanallan Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 How much for them, did you see? I've never seen one of those that I can remember. The stores here suck royally. Is anyone near an Ollie's that can hook the rest of us up? or is it worth getting?? Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Really don't bother with this, I had one for a day and sold it immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sprite Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 For the right kind of kid, it's all it needs to be. If you don't know whether you qualify - The game selection is yard sale worthy. Forget Streets of Rage and Phantasy Star - Largely forgotten cassics like Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Sonic: Triple Trouble, and Fantasy Zone share space with average titles like Kung Fu Kid, Quartet, and Astro Warrior. Snail Maze and Penguin Land are a pleasant surprise, but then there's Bomber Raid, which is unplayable - the screen causes the small tile sets to become a moving optical illusion, and the bullets are lost against the busy background. For me, on a budget, needing games that don't require me to stop my life to play, it was a Godsend. For everyone else, it's going to be nostalgia or curiousity that sells it. It can't compete with the Gameboy, DS, PSP, or even the VG Pocket Caplet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 So, how much is this Ollie store selling these things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRGilbert Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 So, how much is this Ollie store selling these things? Yeah, I never saw these in Target at all, I'd get one for the right price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 gulag, your review makes it sound pretty appealing, though the members here say it's not that great. If I can find one for say, $10 I'm gonna pick it up. How much are they?? Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Are these available in any stores? I don't remember seeing these anywhere, at leat where I live. Seems interesting.

nathanallan Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Looks too good if it's cheap. How much for one, if someone wants to pick one up? Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theking21083 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 This little guy is made by Coleco (you might now them better for a system known as the Colecovision) along with some other handheld games. Coleco teamed up with Target and sold the systems exclusivly at Target. If you go to Coleco.com you can check out their other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
