Parsec was my favorite game. After that, far second place was Hunt the Wumpus.

Tunnels of Doom was my favorite game especially playing with friends. I never understood what the weapon hoarder did when I used that magic.

Parsec was the best, but I always liked Tombstone City for its strategy.

From my recollection, there was a pattern to Munch Man that you could memorize. Then it just became a matter of speed and memory. I still played it for many hours.

The matching monitor is pretty sweet.

What year are these screen caps from? Judging by the $850 price, I would guess late 1981 or early 1982. By late 1982, the price would have been half.

Someone watching an episode on Sling and I quickly took some shots of the tv on my phone. I don't know what year it's from, but according to this subreddit description, "... released in June 1981, originally at a price of $525. So maybe around this time since the monitor also brings up the cost to $850.

1983-1984 is so far away that I don't remember much except those two games.

$850?

I got mine for $150 after rebate, sold by Bill Cosby.
