Go up one level in this thread




I still have an original Novag Super Constellation that I keep around
because of sentimental value (and no it's not for sale :)  I paid over
$200 dollars for it new (back around 1984/85) and I've always enjoyed it.
Given that it runs at approximately ~3/4 Mhz it plays amazingly well
tactically.  Anyway, at $30 dollars (if you can actually get it at that
price) it's a steal.

One thing you might want to consider is that you'll want the Novag adapter
to go with it since running it on batteries is expensive.
