Milton Bradley's Flipsiders

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Flipsiders (for those of you who don't care to click the link (sad) Flipsiders were cassette tapes that opened up into a magnetic board game, made for travel.)

They were AWESOME. According to what I've read, 20 titles were made, but only a handful were really memorable. A company by the name of Anjar made them, but they were released and marketed through Milton Bradley.

Hasbro even has some instruction scans! http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page= ... s&letter=F

I tried checking eBay, to no avail. Not even in the completed listings area.

I had more of these than I did TransFormers. I went through these things like we breathe air. lol

I have one here somewhere. Although it was never brought in the car.

I don't get it... why a tape-cassette? Why not just have it fold up?

On the other hand, I had a pocket knife that turned into a submarine, so who am I to question?
