Thanks Ilovethevectrex, I'm glad you liked it, Currently i have 3 vectrexes, and 2 - 3d imagers, and i agree it is a great system, i need to get more overlays though.

 

Rick

nice! do you have all of the 3d games with those disks they come with? because those are about as hard to find as the imager itself.

[Andre81]

So did you spot something i was missing? If yes please let me know.

 

Many Thanks

Rick

 

Yes, the Universal Game Computer. It's actually a console.

 

I only have 3 games (new) for it, impossible to find more.

You are correct Andre81, I do not have that one, seems to be a british system, but not too sure. I know it is madel by Cabel, but I do not know much about that particular system, I you ever want to sell it, pm me with how much you want, and if it is reasonable I will purchase it from you.

 

 

Anyone else find any missing systems?

I am very glad you enjoyed the Arcade Ntavio, We should be getting ready to do the monthly game swaps in another week or 2, and we have a huge order of Japanese snacks and drinks arriving by next week. Also in the next month or so we will be bringing in retro consoles and games for sale, so keep your eyes open.

Just received a new handheld today, it is the Digiblast system from Italy, Very nice system, looks cool, love the blue led lighting, and the built in stand sort of reminds me a bit of the original gameboy advanced because of the look of the carts, the screen is color, but when there is movement , it not so good. Pitfall was barely playable, any movement on the screen creates a blurring effect so the clarity and definition of the graphics get lost, It is also a movie and mp3 player, It runs on AA or rechargeable batteries,And you can get a tv out card, and mp3 storage card with 256mb for it, i have been trying to purchase these 2 items, but the language barrier between here and Italy keeps getting in the way. It does however come with a nifty little carrying pouch, the contrast and volume are located on the side of the unit and the power on the top, there are 2 pics which show the blurring effect, if you look towards the top of the screen you will see that it is clear, but the motion is completely blurred. Anyhow here are the pics.

Incredable! What a monsterous collection! Love the arcade! TRON, Xybots, Double Dragon... All great games.

Hello everyone, well 3 New consoles have arrived between last week and this week, 1 of them I will have to work on to get fixed, seems like a ram problem. Here they are

#1 - Videobrain Family Computer Model 101 - not working properly, comes up and shows display, but as you can see it is very garbled, The power connector is very industrial for this system, it is a twist lock, with a very nick click when it is locked into place, You can see what the cart port locks like straight on, and the power adapter so you can see the voltages necessary to run this unit. It also came with a TV rf converter and 8 carts.

#2 - Prinztronic Tournament Ten deluxe video tv game - This one came boxed with foam inserts, although the box is pretty tattered, and the manual. I simply love this 70's look on the people displayed in the front of this system, definitely the look of retro.

#3 - This one is a Rare one from japan, it is YSA TV Sports Star, the box is huge, you can see how it compares to my hand, it came complete with foam inserts and a gun, the rf adapter and the console itself .It definitely is a very neat system, the gun still clicks like new when you pull the trigger.

 

Here are the pics, enjoy.

Heck of a day today, Just put in Street Fighter II CE, Rainbow Edition in the Arcade, and the crowd went wild, Also received, if you can believe it another Videobrain Family Computer Model 101, this one came without a power supply or games, but using the parts from the one I received last week, I put it all together and it worked great, this one even has a better outer case, now all I need are joysticks for this puppy, check out the pics of this baby in action. I also just received the Grundig super play computer 4000, I was a bit confused by this one, as I could not find a power or video output port for it, I kept looking for it turning it around , upside down, etc. I even complained to the guy that sold it to me, because he had put that it came with a power supply, but I could not find the power supply in the box , nor where to plug it in. After some research I found out that the cart that you see in the pic labeled Grundig ,is where it gets it's power and gives out an RGB signal from, these game units apparently could only be operated by being plugged into high end Grundig TV's back then, The Grundig tv's had a cart slot in the back where this game system plugged into, pretty neat, I guess I could hack it and make it work, but I think I will keep this one original, it also came with 2 vc4000 games to add to the collection.

Received a rather rare console today, yes it is a clone, but what a nice clone it is. This is the Korean ocm zemmix one neo lite, and pictures do not do this one justice, it is a work of art. Feels real solid and the joystick is very heavy it's case is made of metal, The unit can play msx, msx disk , msx2, msx2 disk & msx2+ games. with multiple a/v outputs including vga with scanlines, 2 usb ports, 2 joystick ports, 2 cartridge ports, an sd memory card slot and a keyboard port, 100 units were made and they sold out almost immediately. Here are some pics of the unit.

[Crazy Climber]

Woah, that zemmix is SICK!! If you don't mind me asking, whats the ballpark value of something like that? I've never even heard of it!

Nice stuff as awlays man

when it came out in april 2013 only 100 units were made, they were set for presale only, The units were selling for $260 each, but it cost them $290 to make, I unfortunately was not one of the 100 who got it first, heck I did not even find out about it till I was searching for msx and came across it on an ebay search, I paid $426 + $50 shipping for unit, yes it is $140 more than when it first came out, but believe me the quality and the finish is well worth the final price I paid for it. You can read more about the zemmix one here

Got a great system in today, yes you are seeing it correctly, it is a Cabel Universal Game Computer, Boxed, and with a bunch of games. The box is not in great condition, but it is intact, the graphics on the box look like they were done in 8 bit. The controllers feel really fragile, they look like eggs with joysticks on them. 13 games, most of them sealed, The games you see leaning against the boxes are 3 additional repeat games. Will be testing soon, I have a 110v to 220v on it's way. Will post pics of the gameplay soon.

Cabel Universal Game computer...obscure as hell but I've heard of it. Brazil?

Thanks for the info on the Zemmix. As far as price I think you did pretty good seeing the limited run and quality of the unit. If offered to me at that price, knowing what I know now I would pick it up as well

Nope it is from Italy.

New posts coming soon. Stay tuned.

Sorry about the long hiatus, just been pretty busy lately with the Arcade, work, etc. So where to begin, well I guess let's start with the crappy items and we will work our way up. Here are 2 total pieces of crap, a wireless 60, & it's updated version the 89 in 1, real Chinese garbage, but just got them to round out the collection, sometimes you have got to take the bad with the good.

[ccatalyst]

Continuing our catch up, we also received a JC Penny Pong, and 2 Commodore 64 Executive SX's, both of them did not work, so I managed to put good pieces from both together to create a real nice working one, I still have the other one for spares,etc. This one is complete with it's modem,it's 3 in 1 port adapter, the Epyx fast load, the 1570 sdram drive, with every single commodore game, program,etc ever written along with 2 wicko joysticks.

[ccatalyst]

Moving along, I also managed to get my hands on an Elbex SD-070 with it's joysticks, an APF tv fun 402E, and a great little handheld The open Pandora.

[ccatalyst]

Now here is the moment most of you have been waiting for the real high end and uber rare juicy stuff, here is an EVO Linux smart console, I should have also received the evo 1, but as you can see it came in a totally destroyed box and the evo 1 got demolished into tiny fragments, I was lucky to get the newer EVO unit to even work. I also got a very rare prototype Evo handheld, but I will have to post pics of that one later, I forgot to take them when I was at the office . And we also have an Epoch Electrotennis - Japan's first gaming console. It used that shiny antenna towards the top of the unit to wirelessly transmit it's game to the tv set. Finally I do not know how many of you remember back in april 2013,I purchased an Olivetti envision 400, but try as I might I was never able to get it to work, so it sat, a lonely unplayable, broken system for over a year, but last month everything changed, I found another one, it's next generation version, the Olivetti Envision P75, the first one was a 486, the 2nd one was a Pentium 75, and when I purchased it, it arrived with a ton of spares, So after some minor tinkering, I was able to bring the older unit back to life. So now we have both Olivetti's up and running with windows 95, an uber rare find.
