Didn't feel like taking a picture, so I used that one. Any idea on if these things are worth anything?

Wow. Box looks like it's in great shape. Good find, but I know nothing of the vaue. Kinda like a fleshed out Simon.

Well the good news it, looks like you could become a millionaire ...

... if you have a million of them.
That's the auction that I won, heh. That's why I was posting here, to see if I got a decent deal. It seems like I did, but I wanted to know if I was sitting on some gem that would be worth something.

Looks pretty neat, though.

Damn, I think I used to have one of those. It's cooler as a primative musical instrument than a game machine.

Haha, that's a funny coincidence! I checked eBay and there are a couple of others that went for less than $5, so it doesn't look like they're super valuable but a cool collectible nonetheless. I always like vintage stuff like that with the word "computer" in the title.

Looks almost identical to a machine called 'Fabulous Fred' put out by Mego. Mego went under around that time, maybe the device production was picked up by Radio Shack?

Dang it! I passed one of these up at a garage sale 2 weeks ago for $2.00. If I could have found 2 million of them for that price I would have been a millionare.
Well, looks like this one's gonna go into that pile... the pile of "Things that are fun to play but when I eventually liquidate everything, it's going too". >_>

Well, none of the Tandy electronic games were made by them, so it could very well be by Mego. After all, we own a Tandy Baseball game that I swear must have been made by Entex (which is probably the case).
