In shabby box, but all complete I think. Last time I found massive batteries for it it worked.

If someone on here wants it, respond on this thread and be prepared to pay the postage - probably ?6 will cover it.

Been collecting dust in a cupboard for years.

    Excellent. We have a winner, Mr Mel. PM me your address and email and I'll return a PayPal invoice. I'll weigh it and give you an accurate cost for p&p.

    B*llocks! Why don't I live in England anymore :(

    I could've had that if I did, sure enough it's complete sh*te, but it'd be worth having.

    I had one years ago but it didn't work, my cousin had it last I knew of it, and that must've been in about 1991?

    Binatone? What ... it's only one game, guess the sound: High peep vs low peep.

    the one I had was pretty much the same as this one, but I'm sure it was brown not orange? The contollers weren't detachable on the one I had I think, but it still had a seperate socket for the gun...maybe?

    You've got the good one there though the cart system oooooooh :D

    Yeah, my mate had a grandstand one. Just pong variants really, but quite fun back in the day. Reminds me of going over and playing it before having spaghetti rings on toast at his house :)

    Cool that it's still got a box and manual too.

    If all Mel and I have done here is remind people of spaghetti rings on toast for tea, then our work here is done.

    Indeed. Nostalgia receptors are tingling. I'm already back in my mate's bungalow, black labrador asleep on the rug, spaghetti rings simmering on the hob while his stepdad is shouting, 'turn off that fookin' pongball rubbish. I want to watch the noos!' :grin:

    I doubt very much they were Heinz Spaghetti Hoops. But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor :grin: Probably more likely something along these lines

    apparently about in the 70's, from this advert.. I'd be surprised if LOM didn't check that out, although the cortina / quattro weren't exactly right :)
