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.

Astro Wars




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"."
