Subject: Collector's Corner..Extreme Collecting..

To the uniformed casual observer the Novag Magic Castle is a mere toy
but to the Hardcore Collector this is a computer that for some reason finds its
way into every top collection

this one just sold for over $220
mint in the box and in the Castle
the bidders list shows a number of well known collectors

even more in demand is the far rarer Magic Castle which sold in a Red BOX rather
then the more commonly seen Blue Box(as in this auction)

the Red Castle's key layout was a bit different cosmetically and was released 2
years after the Blue

both were programmed by the world renowned programmer Dave Kittenger and legend
has it that when asked about the Castle he denies all knowledge of it
:)
