LCD Fund Drive: Triple screens ain't just for PCs anymore
#378087 - 08/10/18 12:23 AM


There's a pair of buy-it-now-only auctions right now on a local auction site for two exceedingly rare VTech LCD handhelds.

The seller is looking for 1500 SEK each, or about 166 USD each. Based on the exceedingly rare nature of these triple-screen games, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that that's probably a fair price.

PM me if you can help out, or if you want a link to the auction itself. In the meantime, since I have to include a link to a website to post in the News forum, here's a link to a page about a game which is in the same triple-screen series of handhelds as the two that are up for auction: https://www.retrogames.co.uk/039544/Handheld/Rabbit-Hop-by-VTech

Can I say something about these games?

It is a series of 8 games. There are actually 4 CPUs (ROM program, that is). Each CPU is used on 2 games. The 2 games would simply have different name and graphics.

4 games are very easy finding and not expensive at all - especially if loose. Boxed copies can go up to 100 euros, but I would not spend more. I had all of them and I remember I sold them about 70-100 euros each (complete or brand new from stock).

So they are NOT expensive. Those games are Rabbit Hop, Deputy Den, Diamond Hunt and Deep Diver.

The four "clones" are MUCH harder to find: Mars Ride, Cop Chase, Super Soccer and Water Polo. For those, expect to pay much more, still in the range of 150 for loose ones and probably 300 for boxed complete ones.

Hope this helps.

And btw, an uncomplete list of VTech games is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VTech_Handheld_electronic_games

I have much more info than that in my database (I was a collector of VTech games, and programmer of many VTech games simulators - MADrigal's Simulators), I will definitely put my extra info onto that Wikipedia page and improve it.
