Do I own something really rare? (Desktop After Burner machine)

So I have this After Burner machine I got when I was a child, it sits on a desktop and it is is a recreation of a cockpit with a small Game-and-Watchish screen on it. You control the game with a flight stick and shoot with the triggers on it, and there is an actual throttle that you pull back or forward to speed up and slow down. Back in the day this thing was totally boss tits and had a price to reflect that cost, a good 150 bucks back in the 80s. A while back we were cleaning out the garage and stumbled across this old thing, my mom was about to throw it out when I rescued it. It still works just fine and is in near mint condition short of a single inconsequential sticker that had pealed off, I thought she was insane.
The thing is, I have not seen one of these things since the late 80s early 90s and I haven't even been able to find it online just so that I could read up on it. I'm wondering if these things are rare now or worth serious collectors money, I could think of no better place to ask then the good ol PA boards. Hell I can't even find a picture online to show you guys so you know what it looks like unless I take it out of the box it's currently resting in and snap a picture.

edit: apparently, not that rare.

Yes that is it, how did you find it?
edit: Curse my slow posting!
He probably Google Image Searched for "afterburner" and looked at the thumbnails until he found it.
Wow, Pan got an unusually large amount of sand in there today?
I miss the days of Tiger Electronic handheld games. They should never have tried the Rzone or the Gamecom.

I see absolutely nothing hostile about that statement. It sounds totally reasonable and truthful.
Calm the fuck down, dude.
Shit. Don't need to have a conniption.
Reported.
Anyone feel we could use a general handheld LCD games thread? I probably wouldn't end up participating in it, but other people might.
Thanks, appreciate it.
That was my reaction as a kid, and I played the shit out of that thing.
I have tried Google and eBay before, I searched for After Burner, Afterburner, Afterburner machine, Afterburner desktop, etc. I may have missed it, but it wasn't for lack of an honest and decent search.
For the last year and a half I had it on my desk at work with an Ace Combat 360 cover leaning against it. It was a cool little conversation piece.
I'd wipe out an entire civilization to own one of those. Or an Operation Starblade machine.
You are pure evil, and hate personified. You don't care anything about your fellow man, and are guided only by your desire to rule over your inferiors, i.e. everybody but you. 'Mercy,' you ask, prior to grinding an enemy beneath your mighty heel, 'What is mercy?'
Take the quiz!
Actually, I've changed my mind! Sell it to one of these guys!
If only they were interested.
