Myriad 6 in 1 Information

[Qixmaster]

yeah it did and mine wasn't a sealed a copy that I opened... pieced it together... bought the box/sleeve/white insert off ebay for something like 80 bucks... the guy who had it said he got it from a rental store and didn't have the game, but included that stuff inside the box.

my copy of caltron has that sheet with it too. Any new info on all this by the way? I still really need a myriad :-)

Hey kids,

I just saw this thread now, as when it was active, I was MIA. Anywho, I figured I'd give my input as to my copy.

My copy is #580, and it's sealed. I bought it from DP himself, as one of the last four games I needed. I paid $300, which at the time was a fair price. Where he got it from is even more interesting.

On the shrink, there is tiny sticker that says KKW, and a few other words which don't add to the discussion which I am too lazy to go upstairs and look up. This is of interest to us, because of where Joe got the game from.

KKW stands for Katz, Kunkle, and Worley. Remember them? Well, apparently, Myriad sent them a review copy. When Bill Kunkle offered to let Joe browse his horde of review stuffs, one of the things he plucked out was... #580.

So, there may be some merit in contacting Bill Kunkle to see if he has any paperwork buried that accompanied the game. Keep in mind, he has a lot of stuff, and he may never be able to find it. But you never know.

Wow, if it came from DP, then my guess is that it was passed along during the period when we were moving from our big place in Vegas around 2002. I invited all the game collectors I knew to come and haul away boxes of old games, presskits, documentation and the rest of a literal two-car garage full of over 20 years worth of game detritus.

I'm afraid that, except for several boxes of stuff I can't replace and lots of old game magazines there's no way I would have the material in question. That was two moves and over 2,000 miles ago.

I am, however, hauling out the memories on an almost daily basis at J2games.com (check out the Forum) in addition to my column here on DP. [Shameless Plug Over].

Now as for Arnie and Joyce, THEY could still have it, since they've kept much more of the old materials.

I dont have the Myriad 6-in-1 but I have the Caltron 6-in-1, and from what I've been told they are about the same thing. The funny thing is, I dont even go out of my way to collect for the NES. I was at my local flea market and just picked it up becuase it was a dollar, also the same day from the same dealer also for a dollar I bought Bubble Bath Babes and about a dozen other titles. When I got home I added them to my inventory like I do when I buy any game and to my suprise I looked up Caltron 6-in-1 and Bubble Bath Babes and they were both rarity level 8.
