Oh shit! I had that game! Got one Christmas Forgot all about it. It was fun for all of 20 minutes then I didn't touch it much after that.

LOL, I played mine incessantly. But I'm not very bright.

Found one at the thrift the other day, just couldn't drop $30 for it.

What the fuck, what makes them think it worth 30 dollars? Think they were 10 dollars new back in the day.
