Hi,

My son is doing a speech about Astro Wars which we have here. Can anyone remember how much they cost to buy in the early 80's?

Thanks in advance. Matt.

My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

Your Google-fu is weak, young padawans

try the National Library, (who think a Toy world Catalouge is worthy of keeping)

"Shows a photograph of two computer games. "Invaders from Space" cost $89.95 and is described as "exciting, fast, arcade-like action. Transformer included. Adaptor included". "Astro Wars" cost $99.95 and is described as "ultra modern arcade excitement. Defend your spaceship from alien craft. Adaptor included"."
