On Sunday, March 16, 2003, Fred Hiss made a once-in-a-lifetime discovery: an Odyssey³ Command Center prototype -- along with a prototype Command Center Voice Module, and a prototype Power Lords cartridge! There are less than 15 Command Center prototypes known to exist, and only three or four Command Center Voice Modules. Talk about your lucky finds!
As far as I know, all other Command Center prototypes have been found near Philips headquarters in Knoxville, TN. Strangely enough however, this latest find happened at an antique shop in Colorado.
Mr. Hiss was kind enough to send me some photos of his amazing discoveries, and here they are! (Click on a thumbnail to see a larger view.)
