...my wish list?

The games I'm currently after are below and I don't want to overpay for them. I'm looking for unboxed games and as long as they have battery covers and not to battered to much I don't mind if they're not perfect.

Bidding on ebay can be mental sometimes and I don't want to over shoot the mark.

1 Snoopy Tennis (Nintendo Game & Watch)

2 Super Mario Bros (Nintendo Game & Watch, Widescreen)

3 Bank Raid (Systema)

4 Snow Monster (Gakken/Lansey)

5 Astro Wars (Grandstand)

Are there any other games that look like the Grandstand Astro Wars?

I ask as I have a system in a very beat up box that was included in a large Microvision lot I won off eBay years back. I remember that I was glad that the seller hadn't put the name of the game in the description and just said it was included with a picture of it at the end of the Microvision pics. Just not sure of the name of the game, just remember it looked like that with that weird display and it was selling for a nice price back then.

It's been sold under one or two other names, but it's always the same game. It's made by Epoch, in the US it's called Galaxy II:

And Astro Wars everywhere else that I can remember...

Loose I figure it would sell for $10-20 depending on condition.
Bank Raid is a cheap game, less than $10 easy.

I don't follow G&W games, but they are popular enough that an average price should be easy to determine.
Not sure about Snow Monster, being a Gakken game it could be nearly anywhere. Cool

Just don't buy them via Buy-it-now auctions. Those are almost never priced fairly, that's usually people pricing them high to see what kinds of counter-offers they can get. Just look for them in normal auctions and if there's bids (more than 1) being placed, that's likely to be a fair value for the game.

I think I must have the Galaxy II system. I will know for sure if I get into the "other room" that I need to get at a few things for my mom as I'm going to visit her later in the week. Just been lazy and haven't felt like moving a few things to somewhere else Neutral I need to get at it soon Yessss!

Thanks for the help. I have a lot of items on my ebay "saved searches" so i'll keep an eye out.

Forgot to add Pac Land LCD to my list.





There was an Pac Land lcd loose on ebay UK for £30 or best offer so I offered him £20 (about $22.50 ish) and got a counter offer of £24 which I declined. Is it worth £24? should I have accepted?

I don't know. Got it for 10€ but the game totally sucks. Does offer some of the better official Pac-Mac graphics on the case though.
I also doubt if it is from 1984, that is the Pac-Land arcade release year, and they almost never match handheld release years. Guess it is more like 1990 or so (the manufactured quality feel is not like 1984). Can't find mine at the moment, will dig into it.

I can rememer having it around 87/88 in the UK. The 84 one is probally the Japanese one, They get all the cool stuff first...

Don't suppose you want to sell it, do you? I can remember liking the gameplay back in the day.

Hah, no, those dates aren't correct... That's the copyright date of the arcade game, not the handheld (I need to get that updated on the site. Rolling Eyes )

I believe these were all released around 1990-1991 (some of the games actually have '91 in their title, so I'm assuming that's the actual release year of the handheld). I think I have a Japanese catalog showing them with the proper year...
