~llama Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Is a Vidtec Word Zapper more rare than a US Games Word Zapper? just wondering because I have a Vidtec one, and so does the rarity guide picture, but the Label Variations guide says that Vidtec and US Games were used before they became just US Games... does a US Games-label Word Zapper even exist?

Crimefighter Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Actually it has Vidtec at the top, and in small print US Games as the copyright. And that's the cart I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laner Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Ah yes, Word Zapper - I remember buying this game for $5 in a clearance bin at the local drugstore. Horrible game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible game Yeah... its definitely not a whole lot of fun... ah well. It came with my "new" 4-switch Woody, and just because I have it doesn't mean I'm obligated to play it.

SteveW Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Word Zapper - one of the earliest games to show that education and videogaming just do not work together. They call it 'Edutainment' nowadays, but modern edutainment titles still have the playability of Word Zapper. Which, sadly, is none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has playability for the first minute that you play it before turning off the Atari, lest it be contaminated by the crap flowing into its cartridge port. I played it once. Might sell it or trade it if anybody wants it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
