I'm not hating. Mine was boxed as well. With instructions still in the plastic. It was a cool little piece of history (I believe that model was the last Pong-clone produced?). But I ended up trading it.fastbilly1 wrote:Dont you hate on the Compuvision - Ive got one in the box that I picked up at a garage sale a couple years ago.

Re: what console is this?
I just love how the three games are basically just Pong in different color schemes. Pong is still fun, though. If you're looking into these "wooden age" home consoles, I urge you to find a Fairchild Channel F, it had a couple of simple and fun games, namely 2 and 4.

Re: what console is this?
I'm actually surprised how little the pong consoles have gained in value. Some of them are really well built and very interesting pieces.
For the most part, no Pong console is worth more than a sega cd. A good condition Telstar Arcade is about as good as it gets.

Pabstblueribbon, did you ever buy that "Pong" game?
Little trivia, the original Space Wars paddle sticks used a similar design.
An interesting history read.

Re: what console is this?
Sudden lack of hours at work put my gaming budget at a halt
I was going to buy this and a CD-I, but about the same time i posted this i lost 16 hours a week at work. sucks, I really had my eye set on this. Very interesting crtgamer...That would have been a real cool little tidbit of information to include when i showed it to my gaming friends.
