I personally own this black 1995 version and have had it for several years. The gold one doesn't keep your high score and tends to re-set itself if it gets a bump or doesn't like the way you are holding it. I don't know what Milton Bradley was thinking, but there are some problems the gold one has this black one does not.
I actually keep it in my briefcase because being this version is no longer being produced, I was afraid replacing it with the same black version would be hard to do if it got lost. I used a Sharpie Marker to blacken around the outside screen area on the gold one I purchased so my son could see the screen better. It has been on several family vacations and business trips.
The gold one because of the color, creates a glare on the screen that makes it difficult to see the screen. I purchased the updated later issue in Gold color and was really disappointed with it vs. this black one.
The black one seems to be a more durable game. So, save yourself some disappointment and get this black one if you can.
TOO OVER PRICED FROM THIS COMPANY. GAME IS LOTS OF FUN. MY HUBBY PLAYS WITH IT FOR HOURS AT A TIME. GOOD GIFT FOR HOSPITAL PATIENT.
Fantastic Time Killer - But poor materials and design led to failure of the product in less than two months - Also the price increased almost 100 percent - NOT RECOMMENDED
All of the positive reviews here are based on previous models which provided much more "bang for the buck." I was extremely disappointed with this new model - the buttons are nearly flush with the unit and too small and close - IT IS NO FUN FOR ME.
If you are one who has either owned or played with the old style game, then i recommend you not waste your money on this new smaller cheaply made version. You will be totally dissapointed. The buttons are way to close together and it is very HARD to READ THE SCREEN, especially the HOLD under the dice. Theres nothing worse than hitting the role button only to find out that that high score you thought you were finally going to get is not to be.Even though you hit the HOLD button you didnt notice it not displayed under it before it was to late.
