the question I have for rik is how much was the microvision when it came out in 1979? also do you think by chance i could find one in a thrift store because I really want to find one with a good screen and working? thanks

Depends on where you bought it:

Sears in 1979: $39.97

Montgomery Wards in 1981: $41.44

Aldens in 1980: $48.97

But, roughly $50 for the system, $20 for the games.

Check Ebay, just pay attention to the pictures, if the screen looks silver, it probably works. If it looks black, it probably doesn't. It usually sells for about $15-25 boxed and working... Just pay attention to the discription and pictures.

I got my microvision today even though it took two weeks to get here. my favirite game is bowling and bowled a 300 two times and the console its self is in good condiction with slight screen rot but its so small it does not affect play. now i need only four more games and I will have a complete collection and these games are blockbuster,cosmic hunter,pinball and vegas slots. just wanted to tell all of you. Thanks

It didn't come with the Blockbuster cartridge? You'd think he would have still had that considering how well he took care of the games... Rolling Eyes

(If he's the original owner...)

Let me look around, I probably have an extra I can send you...

when I opened the box it had a extra bowling catridge. if you do have extra blockbuster catridge around that would be great and if you do I will tell you my address and you can send it, if you want me to buy It I will. thank you,
