pinball22 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 The variety of strange made-in-China game things amazes me sometimes: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 280375732877 I'm not sure I understand the description... it makes it sound like either you get five of those whole things or like each of the screens has all the games in it, in which case I don't know why you need four of them.

kroogur Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) Here is a review of one of those units: http://www.youtube.com/user/ashens?blend=1.../31/x00RgdSkt50 it starts about halfway in. Based on the description in the auction it looks like you get 5 of those horrible things Edited July 29, 2009 by kroogur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this like microvision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroogur Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Probably due to the low tech graphics i suppose. And the systems ability to swap out the "games" by changing the screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yeah, I meant because the screen is in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Yeah, I meant because the screen is in the game. The Microvision LCD is part of the main unit, not the cartridge. That's unfortunate because if it were in the cartridge, there'd be a lot more playable Microvision units out there. But, there is an overlay in the cartridge that layers some extra stuff ton top of the LCD such as the diamond and batter's box in Baseball and the lane/gutters in Bowling.
