Flashback Friday - 007 THUNDERBALL UNDERWATER BATTLE GAME #FBF

While looking online I discovered the 007 THUNDERBALL UNDERWATER BATTLE GAME.  This is a very rare game at this point, and I've seen it priced for around $1650 USD.

This game came out in 1965, and was for 2-4 players, aged 8 and up.

The Thunderball game is themed after James Bond 007, of course, and is based on the under underwater battle sequence from the movie Thunderball - Largo v. James Bond!

Some of the fun features this game includes is colorful plastic scuba swimmer figures on clear plastic pedestals with metal bases. There are also similarly mounted shark figures. The battle takes place on a glossy seascape mapboard. Rules are printed inside the lid.

I know this would be something my hubby and I would love to own, as we love watching Bond, and this is one of the movies that I enjoy!  Although the price tag is a little steep currently LOL

What say you, would you play?

What I love about this vintage instruction booklet from the Gauntlet handheld LCD Video Game from 1985 is the black and white screen shots in the instruction booklet which capture just what the game looked like when you were playing it.

Ok, so here's a wacky bit of gaming ephemera. This flexi-disk with cardboard backing is a fulling functioning, it works if you stick it on a record player, LP.  It was a promotional item that the gaming company Date Age put out in 1982 to help promote their Atari games Sssnake, Warplock, Airlock, Bugs and Encounter at L-5. Neat, eh?

The reverse side assures the reader that "If you survive this audio adventure you may be good enough to play our [Atari] games."

Curious to hear what this "audio adventure" sounded like?
