And to think, just a month or so ago I was in a psych ward because I was going to kill myself...Fuck man.
Guess I'll be watching the first 2 episodes of Foundation tonight.
:yawn:

One of the few times that RARE! in an ebay listing is actually justified. I don't think the price is though, this isn't even sealed.
The sheet with it is a letter to each individual that got one of these, I'm assuming this copy belonged to a Japanese person originally.
IIRC all 100 of these discs are NTSC/PAL retail compatible but they are all Japanese releases so no western packaging variant.
that's pretty cool. price could be way higher like super mario bros high :wacko:Quote:

Can't say anything other than that yet, need to see more. I do like the fact that (so far) not all the characters have North American accents.
Not that I hate NA accents, but when watching as much sci-fi as I do it can get rather boring hearing them so much. The Expanse is good in that way.
Well considering that's actually not happening now, no big deal. :wacko: Still getting divorced but that's been a long time coming and honestly, fuck her. Like all the other bitches have already. :wacko:Quote:

I got to thinking and I don't think there's a single retro western home console I haven't played yet.
CreatiVision?Quote:

It only has a small number of carts but had an optional tape drive, there are homebrew titles that were released on tape.
I had a rebadged locally released one with tape drive way back but sold it in the 90's.
I still kinda regret selling that... and my first breadbin C64 :ugh:
didn't know VTech made game consoles I do recall them making edutainment toys for little kids in the last 20 years.Quote:

Not aware of any that shipped with the tape drive, but unlike C64 the tape drive actually attached to the main unit (not just pushed into an expansion port like Coleco's Atari module).
At first glance without looking closely you might think it was an INTV clone but the controllers actually had a keyboard spread across the two controllers, they weren't number pads.
Yeah there were controller overlays for cart games.
It's also known as FunVision, Hanimex Rameses, and Dick Smith Wizzard (Australia).
I did some reading just now and it appears there was an NTSC version, but Japan only.
Yes in more recent years that company has only made kiddy stuff.Quote:

It wasn't a market failure like the much later Super A'Can console, which destroyed the company that made it.

Just bought a pair of Lynx consoles that need repairs. One of each model.
Model 1 is still working but needs battery cleanup. Model 2 is not working at all but was fairly recently (clean battery compartment), I suspect this one may need new caps but I'll need to investigate.
Got these by reading through a bulk listing of games... noticed the seller mentioned his 2 consoles weren't the way they were before storage hence the reason for the bulk games listing. The consoles weren't in the games listing though so I messaged the seller. Made an offer for the 2 consoles and he made a new listing just for me :D
Now I need people to recommend some Lynx games please :nerd:
I need to get one cart for testing and I'd rather hear some different recommendations rather than trawling through the library trying to decide what I should look for.
niceQuote:

The games prices aren't cheap over here but I just wanted some different ideas of ok games. If I have a short list of ok titles it makes looking for a loose cart easier.
There is one supplier over here with around 40 titles new CiB (sealed) but I suspect all of those aren't good titles (the cheapest of those are just under $20usd shipped).
Can't find BattleWheels locally atm, not even loose.
another couple games I can recommend are crystal mines 2, double dragon and gordo 106 the mutated lab monkey but as I said it's hard to recommend many lynx games as it's kind of a crap shoot with them(it's mostly limited to arcade games a few puzzle games and some sports games I don't recall any adventure or rpgs for it))Quote:

Crystal Mines II isn't uncommon though iirc.
Double Dragon I already have the best cart version... Atari 2600 :lol
Thanks for the input ;)
Keep them coming if you think of more.
Hmmm.... didn't realise Shadow of the Beast was ported to Lynx.
Crystal Mines is on DS too though isn't it?
