whats your rarest console?


Recommended Posts

By chance I ended up with a Columbia Home Arcade when I thought I was buying a lot with just a regular coleco gemini.

Still not sure if I should mod it or not, it's video output is typical crap through RF.

I didn't get any CHA original accessories though...

Here's a pic from atariage.

Sylvania Intellivision

RCA Studio II

Channel F System II (rare because it works 100%, unlike every other Channel F I've ever seen)

JVC X'Eye

Vectrex

Atari Super Pong Pro-Am Ten (the rarest of all Atari Pong consoles, according to Pong-Story.com)

Odyssey

DINA 2-in-One

 

If I may throw computers in the mix:

Sinclair ZX80

ZX81 USA (probably not that rare, but they seem relatively unusual)

Tandy 2 (custom-built TRS-80 Model II)

Aquarius

Nuon's are rare? Well, that's certainly good to know. :)

I'd say so. There's only one on ebay that I see and it's not cheap. Mind it's not a halcyon or pc engine lt, but few enough of us have them.

 

They were commonly found in a few national chains for a short while, but truth be told, they weren't very good dvd players. They had disc playing issues out of the box, and died pretty shortly after that, so I'd guess that the vast majority of them wound up in the trash heap within a year or two of release. By that time the average $30 discount dvd player was a better machine. I keep grabbing samsung dvd players from the era for extra mechanisms for when mine finishes dying.

Yeah, I saw that too. Seems like it's the Toshiba model, which I've read is one of the worst Nuon models. High BIN and it isn't moving. The one I have is the Samsung N501 that can play burned games, but I haven't tried that because Tempest 3000 is all I've ever used the system for, and it roxxx :) But thanks for that idea on buying up other players from the era for spare parts, I'll have to do that...
