Title: Milton Bradley Microvision
Post by: den68 on April 22, 2005, 04:46:46 AM
Anyone have one of these? It was the first cartridge based handheld and came out waaaay back in 1979. It's not much for gameplay but a nice piece of video game history.

I just finished uploading all the scans and digital pics I had for this old beast. The current featured pic I did a few weeks ago but there are now scans for 6 other games.

One odd thing I noticed is all the boxes say "See Back for Game Play", but there's nothing on the back of any of the boxes except for the sysytem box. There must have been a loose insert shrinkwrapped to the back of the box. Has anyone ever seen a sealed Microvision game?

I have a CIB Microvision collection.  My buddy had one when we were kids, but my parents wouldn't buy me one.  

I guess I showed them.   |D

not bad, maybe a little more than I'd want to spend on something I'll never play. but pretty good for getting the whole collection in one shot.

I have a hard time with determining how much is right for stuff like that. I've got the system CIB, 4 games CIB and 2 loose games and a total investment of  $6 bucks. so yeah $125 does sound like a lot. If you break it down though it's $10 bucks a game and $35 for the system which depending on condition is probably pretty fair.
