    That machine looks brand-new!

    And it includes SimCity 2000 (which was released in 1994 ), one of the best games ever:

    I have one of those or a very similar one in my storage. I need to go by there and check it out. Around what do they go for? Id prolly keep it. Get it back right. I remember playing Maelstrom and SimCity2000 on it for hours.

    Mmm, it's a hard market to break into but AS IS 50-60 bucks probably, I'd get more than that as I have all original documentation, CDs the apple branded canon printer, apple branded modem and so on. What interests me is taking it apart and fitting a modern atx system inside the case with a proper 4x3 screen or something similar in nature. My son LOVES the retro look so there is that.

    Those units are hard to ship intact, but cool to have for gaming. I own a LC 550 which is an All in one unit like the one pictured but has a 68030 processor (upgraded with a rare and pricey 68040/25 Ethernet and 32MB RAM) and a 14" Sony Trinitron Display. Great for old games and a bit smaller and easier to move.
