Anyway I was wondering where do you think the last prizes have gone? Also does anybody have this game and did anybody enter this compotion?

I actually have Earthquest complete with cartridge, comic, and instruction booklet, but I haven't found or endeavored to find any of the others.

While I have heard of the competition, I would have had to enter it while I was negative years old, as it predates me. I am very curious as to where the missing treasures have gone as well.

Swordquest Earthworld is pretty common, Fireworld and Waterworld are much tougher to find, and I don't think Airworld was released (feel free to check whether this is right). Don't know about the disposition of the prizes, but I suspect the contest resolved itself normally.gmsnpr

You didnt watch the video did you? Cause it explained what happend, the great video game crash caused the comp to end like half way through, the last three prizes were never given out. And thats like $75,000 worth of prizes wasted :P
