Had it since my Dad bought it in 1985, its the original one from 1981, Introducing Mario as "Jump Man" and the Princess as "Lady". Survived 3 kids, bringing it to college, and now over 27 years old! Anyone have an idea of what the value of this could be? Wouldn't get rid of it, but just curious - I've never seen it on EBAY or anything like that, so really have no idea.

Thanks, and I'm so glad i found this cool group!

I would say around $400-$600 realistically. It's a great game! Hook it up and keep playing it :)

If it's any indication, I got mine for $1200 in 2008, fully restored and everything. Shipping was "free" if you consider the price hike, though I'd just add on $600-ish dollars to say it's from shipping.

whew...im light headed now.... I practically just "gave" mine away a few months ago for $300. Granted it was being sold along with a Tron and Kickman. I guess since I knew the guy was gonna keep it and add to his collection, I figured why not :-)

If you ever develop probs with that game, post up right away, someone on here will help you out and get it running in no time!

I am so looking for a TRON. Before the movie comes out and the prices skyrocket. I just picked up a decent battlezone mini for $80 yesterday. But can't get it working.
