    Zero :D

    Boulder Dash had not even been created when this was made and it is also my first ever Console back in the early 80s.

    And there are none of these for sale on ebay at the moment :eek:

    If you get it for the retro value alone, cool. But unfortunately there was only one good game for this. Some version of Asteroids. Played that a lot. Rest was crap. I envied the Atari owners at the time.
