Mhhh, the second one, counting from the top must be one of these :

(there is a 4rt album not pictured on the link, regarding the micro computers in general... could be that one too?)

If it's the second one from the down... gray/hard cover? No idea... I own most of Arcade Games book related and I don't have/recognize that one  ::)

I was mentioning the blue one. It is from 2000.
The second one is completely identical to the first.
The third one, is a Bright magazine about Eindhoven getting the title "smartest city in the world".

Actually I have 4 of these games now :). But I decided I want my personal top 25 mint boxed :). I can do a little competition with the other 3.

I presume it's an old one? Where do you get it/order? Looks interesting  :)

I'm happy to see you got the package in one piece  ;)

Here you can browse it fully:

It is from 2000
Recently I found a second one in the local museum shop, and took it as it is sold out now. I thought to find someone interested in it on handheldmuseum, but until now, no interest. It was new, but it has been in the shop for almost 10 years I guess, so it is near new, a little little soft corners from some browsing. If you're interested you can buy this one. It was 40 euro's. On Amazon it does crazy prizes.

I have a yellow one too. This one is grey. On the box it is grey as well. I'm curious now if a box exists with yellow buttons.
