About Master Builder

You are shown a construction for five seconds. Your task then is to build that construction from memory using bricks which the player can find on the left and right sides of the screen. You have to watch out for a dog which will run into you if you don't dodge it, as well for a kid who will steal your ladder. As your construction gets higher you will also have to watch out for bolts of lightening from a thunderstorm. If your replica is correct and you are at the top of the building a helicopter will carry you off to the next construction site.

Another thinly documented Spectravision cartridge, priced mostly on scarcity.

Spectravision released Master Builder in 1983, with a PAL release in 1984. Little is documented about the game beyond its publisher and release dates.

Cartridge & preservation record

Program size 4 KB, measured from the preserved dump.

Catalogue number as recorded for the physical release.

Before you buy

Low risk. No fakes are documented. The box and manual carry much of a complete copy's value, so check that both are present. Make sure you know whether a copy is NTSC or PAL, because a PAL cart on an NTSC console and TV usually shows wrong colors.
