Access to the coins is via the underside, where the wind-up knob can also be found.

In good working condition with no chips or cracks to the plastics. The only minor flaws are the missing sticker on the tray upon which the coin is placed and discoloration of the robot's googly eyes, but otherwise it's in good shape with only minor cosmetic signs of age and use.

]]> Late 1970s-Early 1980s Tomy Water Wizard Game (aka Whoosher) – Robot https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/late-1970s-early-1980s-tomy-water-wizard-game-aka-whoosher-robot/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=late-1970s-early-1980s-tomy-water-wizard-game-aka-whoosher-robot Mon, 12 Oct 2020 21:34:20 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=8390 If you're of a certain age, you'll certainly remember these water-powered dexterity games made by Tomy. Dating from the late 1970s and early 1980s, this one is the "Robot". Once filled with water, the aim of this "wizard water game" is to guide the pieces of the robot using the power of the water "whoosher" onto the structure inside the tank. It's simple enough to describe, but it takes a lot of skill and is rather tricky to do... the box promises "hours of fun".

In good condition with some superfical wear from use. The game comes complete with the original rubber seal (which attaches handily to the underside) and has no chips, cracks or anything else that would present a problem given that the game tank should stay filled with water!  The box is a little bit battered, but it's nice to have it nonetheless.
