Andromeda Stardust Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Rarest console I own is an Atari Lynx my mom got me in 1993. It was working a few years ago, then I packed it away and I recently dug it out and it won't load games anymore... My other consoles, mostly common Nintendo consoles, in order of acquisition: Game boy color (1998 @ launch) NES (2002) <-- Boxed. Collected dust for about decade in my parents garage. This is what got me hooked on gaming! N64 (2004) Game Boy Advance SP (Classic NES Edition) (2004) Game Boy Advance (2004) Game Cube (2004) SNES (2004) <-- Goodwill find! DS Phat (2004 @ launch) Wii (2006 @ launch) DSi (2009 @ launch) PS2 Slim (2009) - Sold it in 2011. PS3 Slim (2010) 3DS (2011 @ launch) Genesis (2011) Atari VCS 4-switcher (2012) - First console in my collection that's older than I am. Wii-U (will hopefully be getting one @ launch in 2012) If I could own one truly rare console, it would be a tossup between Vectrex or Virtual Boy.

Austin Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Rare as far as cost, would have to be the NEC Turbo DUO. I was able to pick one up in the box (with instructions) for an arm and a leg a couple of months back. Following that up would be my NEC Super Grafx, with the SNK Neo-Geo CD just below that. Rare as far as actual rarity goes, would have to be the Kyocera Pro-1000S CD-i Player. Folks in the [small] CD-i community have stated that these have only popped up a handful of times in the past, if that. It unfortunately doesn't seem to work that well with games, but I'm beginning to wonder if it was intended that way. It was intended for professional purposes, that much I am certain on, simply judging by the firm build and all of the unique ports on it. Plus, it would come with a secondary monitor, probably for karaoke. Asides from that, very little information is actually known about this thing.

Schizophretard Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Dactar II Video Game looks a bit like an atari But if I take it to the airport it's rarity causes the Homeland Security Advisory System to go all the way to red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 While not considered a console, my CIB mint Atari Video Music has to be the rarest in my collection. I also have a Stunt Cycle and Touch Me with both work. The only rare (I should say obscure, not rare as in sought after) later generation stuff I have would be my Toshiba 2300 and Samsung DVD-N501 Nuon players.

the.golden.ax Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 So many it's hard to say what would be rarest. If I throw a few out there I'm probably forgetting something rarer. Laseractive, Neo Geo USA Gold in the box, Boxed Turbo CD (big orange), Boxed Amiga CD32, Boxed Xeye, now I have to go look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeshed Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I don't have anything terribly rare... I assume my boxed RX 78 2 Gundam Wonderswan or my Sears Super Arcade are the hardest to find. Ive also got a late model TRS 80 CoCo 1 (Thanks AtariLeaf for the help on IDing it), but that is a computer, not a console. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-2s-49-en-70-5ye.html <- I think its purdy.

Chuck D. Head Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well, I got lotsa consoles, but none of 'em very rare. I guess a full set of Funtastic Colors N64's is'nt something you dont see every day. Other than that, pffftt, maybe an Aquarius or coco3? Someday I will get that damn Onyx and then I will gloat.
