Real historical simming?

Wow, what a find. Makes me wonder if my old APBA set from 1983 will draw similar attention in 2108........

StyxNCa · 05-28-2008, 08:20 PM

I'd give my right arm for that.

Pretty impressive. But I can't believe the CNN reporter said it was in mint condition. Obviously it had some significant damage. But it's still an amazing find.

Yeah, but it looked like wear from being played. A lot. Somebody must have enjoyed the heck out of that game.

Nice price at auction $10,400.

I'm thinking you'd have to contribute more than that to buy this game.

Don't give Markus any ideas, guys.

Get a load of the "game manual" on the left side of the board. Compared to ours, a model of brevity, eh?

But this game dates from the 19th century and it featured ball animation! Surely in 2008...

Yet another reason this board needs rep.

I had a game like this (but not as old, clearly) for cricket when I was a kid. It was quite cool.

Well if I give my other arm I couldn't play it.

Would that make you a nopaw?
