My Father loved these. I like the multi flavored version.

Found this same one this morning at a thrift store, fully intact and in excellent condition. Box says 1970, with the rules on the inside of the top box. We used to play this for Hours at a time back when. Nice buy for $6.00

We used to play it, too! And the best part, I have a re-release in my closet in a pile of board games

Those Vega's were pure garbage. The people down the road had 2 of them and wound up using one of them for parts to fix the other one.

Oh yeah.
I don't think I remember a Chevelle Nomad Wagon. I bet a restored one is worth a mint

I think that's where a large portion of the KC MO school district's desegregation lawsuit winnings went. Every school I went to in elementary school had one of these (88-94). By 2004? There was a douche who lived in the residence hall I stayed at at Central Missouri who had one in his room, he paid like 100 bucks for it used.

Ah the deseg money, that was awesome. Trips as far as the Rockies, Mt. Rushmore, New Orleans and DC. There was this one camp near Truman Lake to learn science and what not. Sooooo much fun. Wait what were we talking about? Oh yeah, the tv, mine was way too poor to ever have one but yeah I remember that.

Loved the tv vcr combo, had one of the 13 inch models in college. A few years earlier mom had a 27 inch model at home.
