Title: Juicy Burger in the mail
Post by: Blanka on March 17, 2012, 01:02:01 PM: Thanks to great help of one of our new members, Dr Blair, I finally got my hands on the no.1 Handheld VFD game ever made* in complete boxed condition. It is beautiful, it has rocking game play, but it is hard to get:
Bandai FL Burger Time.
It travelled right from 1983 Tokyo to 2012 Eindhoven by EMS Time Travel. The original price of 7980¥ was inflation-corrected, but hey, that is still a small price for time travelling!
Check it out:

Let me guess, it is a battery operated handheld or tabletop game. ;D
