I didn't Bill Interesting if this shows up for a higher offer...

Moneys sent!

Bump.....

The Math Gran Prix the Sears' version?

Bumpin' this up!

Let's hope two show up at the same time so we don't break our banks!

As a collector of arcade games and fairly knowledgeable when it comes to Taito stuff, I can tell you Elevator Action was huge in the arcades in the state. It did come dedicated and in kit form. And in '83 it was their #1 selling game for that year...

Gawd, I hope there is a Sears' Math Gran Prix box in there! Just to let folks know I'm going all in on this title!

Bumpin'

Took the words right out of my mouth! I can look to see if I have any variations. I have every Sears' game boxed w/ the exception of Math Gran Prix. Might be a bit... I'm in the beginning stages of moving.:/

I can't speak for the collector's circle. The last one I had seen was on Ebay years back. I believe the winning bidder was from overseas. It's one of those auctions I had intentions of bidding a higher amount and completely forgotten about it!:/

I'm down to my last Sears's game to complete this series excluding different varieties... Looking for a Math Gran Prix boxed... would prefer a decent box, but could depend on condition... Help me put the nail in the coffin for this title! I'm tired for waiting on Ebay for this, so hopefully someones needs $'s and has this!

I was watching your auction for this particular title, since my Sears' Sub box is less than desirable. That $80 - $90 seems to be the ball park price for this. I have seen some go for less but the box has seen better days... Now to find me a boxed Sears' Math Gran Prix and I'm done!:/

Ours had games up till the crash. I remember they had these bins setup outside their store entrance w/ tons of games for sale. I distinctly recall picking up Frontline, Frankensteins Monster and Hero for $3.99 pop! *sigh* After that firesale they did away w/ the games. Rip St. Charles Mall Camelot store Back to Child's World, I had this flashback of picking one of these up probably one of the last time(s) I went there before their disappearance...

I had to look it up. Looks like there were bought out by the parent company of the FYE stores in the late '90s. Kinda weird, since the Camelot we had went bellyup, it became a bookstore instead of another music store. Hmmmmm....

My choice would be some of Imagic's catalog: No Escape Laser Gates Riddle of the Sphinx (love this game!) I wouldn't mind even Trick Shot Just no Fire Fighter!

I don't recall a Children's Palace , but I do remember a Child's World by a mall my parents used to frequent. Definitely recall going there around the late '80s cause of the fact of I purchased some of my NES and SMS games at that particular store. I also to seem to recall they were slightly more expensive as compared to Toys 'r us. Maybe that's why they folded? That timeline seems about right to on when they cease to exist. The one I mentioned I don't think made it past 1990... I always keep the price stickers on all my games... kinda of a blast from the past thing. Some notables: Zayres Service Merchandise Woolco Montgomery Ward Camelot Music Toys By Rizzi Venture McDades catalog house (Chicago area) to name a few....

I agree w/ a lot of posters here on the NES version of Bionic Commando. Another notable for me was the NES version of Rygar. I liked the way the NES version was laid out - ability to gain weapons et al. The arcade version was basically a side scrolling slasher....

Love the video Jibjab! Couple things I want to mention.. I had the Genesis I want to say a week or two after launch (thinking it was early Sept.) I bought three games: ThunderForce II, Last Battle and Super Thunder Blade. I wanted to get Space Harrier II at that time but was sold out. I know you disliked the last two on your video from my list. And some of the complaints are justified BUT I am a fan of both - especially Last Battle. The game does somewhat have a learning curve and also somewhat have a redundant screen layout, but I stuck w/ that game and once you get into it - I find it enjoyable. The thing w/ Super Thunder Blade that irked me was not within the controls and movement the copter itself, it's just a really short game (only 4 levels). I also want to mention the fourth stage music is awesome! I do agree TFII was the cream of the crop at launch but my choice (my opinion) Tommy Lasorda was the worst to me. Not saying that it was bad BUT not having the MLB license was a real killer for me since I was a avid RBI player! Actually, I'll probably say it's a tie w/ Super Thunder Blade... Again, Great vid!

The die hard and avid Star Wars' collectors are nuts! Over the past 10 years I really noticed there are some Star Wars collectors from Europe that have some really DEEP pockets! I have seen some items go for really crazy price from the vintage era. I would not be surprised bit that the 'offer' came from on of these guys.

I'm in.....

Eagerly awaiting my email!

THis is kinda of a tough question for me, cause I see both sides of the argument. On thing I do stand by, if it's a homebrew and say there is a limited production run; I do agree the purchase cap is 1 per customer. (Now I know this is going to irk people who like playing a copy and have a copy for display, but from past experience I DO seeing people taking advantage of that situation.) I've seen it first hand as a late bloomer to the Vectrex scene. It's weird, when it comes to flipping copies, I rather have the homebrewer himself get the extra profit rather than the buyer... Of course this theory goes out the window if it's not a limited run.....
