    Default Quiz Wiz?

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but does anyone here collect "Quiz Wiz"? It was an electronic type game made by Coleco in the early 80's that had a main module that you can attach cartridges/quizbooks to and "test your knowledge". The reason I ask is that I just got some carts at a thrift, and was wondering if anyone would be interested... If this is the wrong place, may the powers that be shuffle it to the right place...

    I've got two carts from the series and the Challenger. I've not been insterested in collecting them just yet, but I know they usually fech a few $ on ebay every once in awhile

    FYI: Another Quiz Wiz was made in the mid 1990's by Tiger. Same concept, but many many more games.

    I picked up a Star Wars Quiz Wiz at a Rescue Mission store this weekend for $5. It's pretty cool!

    My uncles used to have the old Quiz Wiz in French (yup, they were available in French here, since Coleco's Canadian head office was based in Montreal). But that was way back in the mid-1980s, by which time the game was packed away in the basement cave.

    If I remember correctly, there were some dual french/english ones weren't there? I got some from a seller last year on eBay, but I'm not sure what I did with them...
