Because Centipede was the only one with a trackball.

In those pics look at the underlays.  Does it seem like asteroids an centipede are backwards, or asteroids has a space invaders underlay?

They're probably just marketing mockups.  I don't see them anywhere on sears.com.

You can't tell from the photos, but I think these things are barely more than "keychain" size.

Well I doubt they'll be much fun to play but for $15 or less they will make nice display pieces..if they are bigger than a keychain. I'm thinking you could gut it and put a screenshot where the LCD is...you could even throw a bulb behind it.

I didn't look at the US Sears site but assuming the Canadian warehouses have stock us Canuks could have them in the usual 3-day delivery time.

At $100, may as well buy an early 80s SS pin and shop it rather than buy that cheapo pacman pin.

Kind of funny that they made Pac-Man horizontal and Asteroids vertical.
