Are you are looking to use it and have fun? No way. It is about the least fun thing in the world. They are getting pretty hard to find in working order, though. If you are a collector, you should get it. I would snag it.

It's even easy to find Gyromite and Stackup, but not easy to find Gyro and SU with the accessories needed for ROB. It's actually more fun to play those two games with two people instead.
