yea ive actually seen this thing run before, my dad owns a singer store and i remember seeing it there for awhile. it was a pretty big gimmic, you basically ran sewing patterns from the gbc, my only guess is that it was cheaper to use a gbc then a built in lcd back then.
*edit - i just asked my dad, he said the thing did'nt sell well at all, and they pulled it off the shelves pretty quickly. he's not sure why they used a gbc for it, his guess is the same as mine. from what he remembers the machine came packed with the game and you had to buy a gbc seperatly, he said hell look for some ad's on the thing later, if he gets them ill post them later.
Even if I go to hell, I will live to the end of this world. And if the world does not come to an end... I will destroy it with my own hands!

I saw this awhile ago when I was looking to buy a sewing machine. I have a great idea as a business venture, just no money to do it, and haven't really got any sewing skills.
Actually, they came with the GBC:Originally Posted by unbroken

I have a flier somewhere and I'll try to scan it if I could find it.
Meanwhile, I just won one from Ebay yesterday. The sewing machine doesn't work but its cosmetically sound and I need it for a photo for the next edition of Phoenix.

If you look up "sewing" in the search you'll fiund mention of this in previous threads...
Very interesting cart, though. I always thought carts like this should be in the lists, along with stupid dictionaries and things like that, but the DP crew puts only games in there, I believe.

Looks like manuals for this are available if we can find out the part number.

Replacement parts list. Looks like there's a factory and a buyer's model number. Weird. The cart isn't on the parts list...

Lol, sorry for so many posts in a row on this.
Spoke to a Singer rep and she said they sold out of the cartidges less than 6 months ago. She didn't remember the exact price, but she said they went for somewhere between $60 and $100. Too bad, I was hoping to see how they came packaged by buying one.

Leo, PM me with details please if you plan to sell.
