I found one in the wild (at a thrift store) a few years ago and bought it, but it didn't have the carthridge. I bought one on eBay last year and spent entirely way too much money on it (something like $75) but it included the carthridge, the overlays, and the box was nice. The boxed games also come up from time to time (more than the rifle does). They are especially hard to get because very few were sold due to poor marketing. People bid them up to sometimes outrageous levels on eBay, but if you're patient you can snap them up at bargain prices one at a time (2 down, 5 to go). The coolest Odyssey gadget I have is a floaty pen that reads "Magnavox Color TV with Built-In Odyssey". Now, I've spoken with Ralph Baer (the inventor of the Odyssey) and he never mentioned that one of these was ever built (though it was his idea from the start). So it was really interesting to find this pen. It doesn't write but the floaty still works, and it's way cool. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org * Old computing resources for business and academia at www.VintageTech.com *
