So I recently stumbled into an boxed Eopch Jack And The Beanstalk and to my surprise, saw incredibly little out on the net about it. To make things more interesting, almost all the images out there show one in a silver/metallic box, while mine is in a white box.

I was pretty surprised that it was solar and works just fine 31 years after being made.

So short post shorter. Anyone have any additional info on this puppy?

Images are in the album below.

I kinda need two hands to play, but i'll see what I can come up with.

It's basically Kaboom or a similar catch the falling items before they hit the ground.

The golden goose bops about at the top, dropping it's eggs, while the Giant follows it about. After so many caught eggs, you start to grow the beanstalk. It gets wider and then taller again (and I assume wider again, before it starts the 3rd/final rise). I didn't get past the start of the second level, but I only played it for a few minutes before I put it back in the box and bought it. I guess that if I got high enough up, that I could get to the top level where the Giant is stomping about chasing the golden goose and end the game, but again, I didn't play it that much in the store.
