Now go back to the basement and dig up a 2600 or 7800 and you'll be set for the week-end.

I dug up a 2600 as well ;). Black six-switcher, 2 paddle controllers, 1 Atari joystick, game pad (forget what it's called), and another joystick that mysteriously showed up in my house one day.

Good deal, now crack a beer and have at it.

The real big question is do you have the game box to hook it up? That seems to be the one thing that disapears along with all the socks in the dryer. :)

You can't find the NEW games in basements or thrifts.

Have to get them here at the AA Store ;)

You have to respect the Swordquest series for it's concept. It was supposed to be 4 carts with a theme, all to reach the ultimate goal of a $25,000.00 prize. I personally liked Earthworld, but Fireworld blew. I don't know what happened to the Waterworld Cart I had, but I remember liking that one too. Wish I still ahd Waterworld

Which reminds me, did people actually get those prizes for Earth and Fireworld? And Waterworld?

 

One of the guys is a member here. Forgot his name. Pretty cool.

Michael Rideout (AA ID SeaGtGruff) won and still owns the Swordquest Fireworld Chalice.

The winner of the SQ Earthworld Talisman had it disassembled, keeping the tiny sword, and the rest of it sold for the precious metal value.

 

The other prizes existed and were on display at the first two tournaments, but seem to have vanished. The SQ Waterworld and following tournaments were never held. Rumor has it that the grand prize sword was seen hanging over Jack Tramiel's mantel, and I would not be surprised if he kept the others as well.
