Giles N Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I checked Analogue: sold-out on every type of unit. Checked ebay: I’d have to pay $390 for one ready for sale (auction over), and $50 for shipping. Import-charges are pretty heavy over here. And as I also need food, shelter and pay some health services… and the other music-stuff I’ll need, I should wish I could just press ‘buy’, but think I must wait a little. Perhaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldLeader Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Speaking of spending too much on handhelds...Well, I've wanted an Evercade EXP (preferred Ltd Edition Black) for a while, and also really wanted to increase my Evercade cart count! I did get a couple of duplicates in this expensive eBay lot. Does anyone need Technos Arcade I or Data East Arcade I? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 So... ... I didn't realize this used to be a Tempest until I got it home. Duh! At least Super Qix mostly works. Got some rom (maybe V memory) and color errors, and player 2 button doesn't work, and that missing chunk on the cabinet. Hopefully minor stuff. We'll see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I'm going to be building myself an Altair 8800 like it's 1975! I've always wanted to get a real Altair to play around with, but the prices of these S-100 computers is just out of hand. I knew there were several replica's available using emulated hardware with Arduino's and such, but I wanted something more authentic. When I discovered that all the main boards have been replicated, including a very nicely done full size case, I knew this was the route for me. I can build this with completely new replica boards or I can mix new and original, as this will be fully compatible with the original hardware. Building this is going to be fun! So far all I have is the case, front panel boards plus the switches and lights. I have to commend Mike Douglas on the quality of this case. The fit and finish are top notch. Time to start placing parts orders! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Pile cost me $15 + tax. The Logitech Z506 speakers are complete and sound fantastic! I had a Lights Out for ages and couldn’t pass it up for $1.25. The PAC-MAN machines are just decor for the game room but cheap decor. My favorite kind! They do work but….. bleh. 😆 Edited October 30, 2023 by ClassicGMR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason that little Pac-Man looks fun to me. God knows why. 5 minutes in I bet I'd be quite bored. I think it has something to do with those LCD Pac Man watches that existed a long time ago. Rather than think upon those with realism; I thought about them with child-like wonder...You mean I could play Pac Man any time I want? At the flick of a wrist? ... As if it controlled great with tiny little watch buttons, and really played like the Pac Man Arcade game hahahaaa... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Another patch for the collection. Took me quite a while to round this one up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubeon Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Star Control! for the mighty Mega Genesis This game blew me away when I borrowed it back in the day from a friend I got so annoyed when Game Sack recently said Star Control never got a genesis port that I went on Ebay and bought it. Turned out to be in very good condition, a rarity for these cardboard-cased titles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never could play MK with its block button. Just felt unnatural.

+chicgamer Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Yeah, I've never really been a fan of Mortal Kombat. I bought the cocktail cabinet more for the other games included (Rampage, Gauntlet, Root Beer Tapper, Sinistar). As for stinky Genesis games, they smell as super-fresh as ever! 😛 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take another pic of mine alongside an OG Vectrex controller so you can compare it to the OG. <Edit> My controller is the "Original" version of the RadPad. The smaller version is known as the RadPad Mini, so I'm guessing it has a smaller footprint than mine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
