This is the second unit we’ve had, (the first, mentioned previously had no sound or timer right out of the box)

This one worked initially, but now has problems with the sound & timer.

Thanks,

There is one place online where you can find Superplexus for $19.50. It is at Funagain Games: kumquat.com/cgi-kumquat/funagain/13575. Of course, there is also shipping! I also like the aesthetics and have put it on a cylinderical section of plexiglas, 5″ dia x 2″ high. It was a scrap at Tap Plastics. Why didn’t it come with a stand?

My family have some favorite areas on Superplexus. Does anyone else make names for these?

Most fun:

1- “The Tightrope” (yellow track section, 33-34)
2- “The Spiral and Cup” (obvious)
3- ‘The Praying Man” (purple piece, 62-65 and 93-96)
4- “Double-Turnaround” …MY most favorite (76-77)
5- “Around the Cup”, or “Around The Horseshoe Magnet” (91-92)

The most difficult:

1- “That Area” (11-12)
2- “Number Thirty” (29-31)
3- “Turnaround” (43-44)
4- “Urggg!” (98-99)
5- “Oh, SH…T” (99-100)

Most improbable:

1- “I’m Lost!” …beginners only (17-18)
2- “The Edge” (33-34)
3- “The Drop” (37-38)
4- “Inverted Drop” (41-42)
5- “The Tube” (58-59)

The local KB Toys didn’t have in stock at all.

The cheapest I found it on the Net for was $30.00.

Now I just have to find the time to sit down with it!
Asthetically I love it. I’d like to get one of those 3-legged thingies that you use for displaying a globe and have it as a conversation piece in the computer room.

I am a big fan of the game SUPERPLEXUS! I got mine at around late August, but still am trying to do better with it. Found an article about how it was invented: San Francisco Chronicle- Profile: Michael McGinnis. It is pretty well written and tells about the time and trouble it took for Michael to get it made. Check it out!!

At first I did not use it with batteries, but now I am adept enough that I want to beat my time. My average score on level one is under 15 seconds. I have made it through the whole thing 5 times, but I’ve never beat my first and best time of 1:53:22! It’s not just a boy’s toy; girls love it too:)

Couple of things. For those looking for this toy, I found it at my local KB Toys (as per the article)

Was wondering, for anyone that has one, is there a trick to get the heart beat, music & timer to work? (YesI have brand new batteries in the unit, yes they are in the right way)

I have digits on my timer, but they never advance.

I get the power-on/power-off sounds as well as the sound when you mute/unmute the sound, but I never get the heartbeat or music.

Thanks,

Rich
