Just bought a Boxed Leisure-Vision (Canadian Emerson Arcadia) off ebay.

First off, who else owns an Arcadia or clone and what are your thoughts.

Secondly, I paid $30 for it boxed w/ foam and a boxed game (Missile War). Seemed like an alright price to me considering I never see these and since I'm Canadian I like picking up Canadian-gaming things. Will the next version of the DP guide attempt Arcadia pricing?

The current DP guide does attempt Arcadia pricing - only Arcadia, not LeisureVision, etc. They are listed, though.

I'm a fan of the machine. I invested in one of Ward's Multicarts, so I guess that says something. The colors and graphics aren't much to write home about, but I think many of the games are very worthwhile. Several games on the Arcadia can only be played on the Arcadia, too. Jumpbug comes to mind immediately. And on what other machine can you rush a hobo across a busy street? ;)

I picked one up boxed and in really nice shape with six games for around $8. Nice little historical curiosity system, I do not really play though.
