ComputerSpaceFan Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Discovered these two Tomy machines today and very interested in buy them, but I think they mainly came out in Britain and Europe from the YouTube videos I have seen. Tomy Cosmic Clash Tomytronic 3D Sky Attack I wouldn't exactly call them "handhelds" but that's the closest description I could find. I also read this very good thread about Tomy games and this excellent general thread discussing electro-mechanical games from recent years. Having once been disappointed in buying a Tomy Digital Derby off eBay that was listed as "great condition" only to discover some of the gears are missing teeth and the belts don't always work, I am thinking for these two new Tomy items I really only want to buy them from reputable sellers (therefore not eBay) who will tell me if there's any problems with their inner workings in advance. Anyone know anyone selling either of these and willing to ship to Canada? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberpunk Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Tomy Cosmic Clash is a "tabletop". 3D Sky Attack is indeed a "handheld" as you have to hold it up to your face. the darker the room is, the worse the LCD screen will look. the white panel on top is for natural light to come in and brighten up the display.

Uzumaki Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Sky Attack looks like Tron game tank vs recognizer. A very low res version of the game Kevin was seen playing near the start of the 1982 movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 So the Sky Attack looks to be pretty common, that's good. The Cosmic Clash though seems to be hard to find. There's a guy in the UK with one for sale but combined with shipping he wants over a hundred bucks for it. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Awww man! Apparently there was a Cosmic Clash for sale at Portland Retro Gaming Expo last year. I even bought a Bambino UFO Attack from this very booth and if you spy just above the kid's shoulder (not my kid, grabbed this image off a website) there's a Cosmic Clash sitting right there! Bummer! I wonder how much the seller wanted for it. Had I known last year I woulda bought it. Anyone know whose booth this was? Is he a member of AA? I am heading to PRGE again this year so I guess I can hope this guy still has this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
