OTHER THAN EBAY AND THE OBVIOUS AUCTION SITES ... does anyone know where I could lay my hands on an intact, complete electronic "Dungeons and Dragons" game from the 1980s? (Or, hell, if they're making them again now.) I mean, does anyone have one they're willing to sell, or definitely know of one somewhere I could purchase for a reasonable price?

:-DDD /shows you lots of teeth

Here is the newer version of what I think you are looking for:

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/966470000

There are a couple of places here in Indy you can locate it (i.e. The Game Preserve, Boardroom Games, Comic Carnival).

Is this what you were looking for?

*EDIT:* This is what I get for speed reading...I didn't see the electronic part of your request. Sorry.

I was going to say, it's not electronic, but I did pass it along to the person looking to buy one to see if he's interested. Thanks!

I have a gaming shop near me that possibly has stuff like that, but it'd probably lack in the "reasonable price" department...but I can go check if you want a reference or something.

If you're going to be near there in the next day or three and you don't mind checking, I'd appreciate it. (Remember, *electronic* version.)

Um, how do you mean "electronic?" To my knowledge, D&D was only books and dice in the early '80s. We had only Space Invaders and Pacman back then for electronic games.

And $30 is very reasonable for a game this freakin' cool looking and that is coming up on 30 years old!

It is - if it has all the pieces, still works, and is intact. So far, he's only found one on eBay and he was outbid for it because he didn't know to follow it at the end of the auction ....

Nope. My boss Dave had one; he's trying to find another for his teenage son for Christmas.
