So it's six months later, did they find anything?

Good Will bumped up their prices on used consoles. They have a Genesis model 1 (with game,but no controller or any cables or power) for $60. They increased the price of Playstation ones to $29 each. They have five without power cords. Controllers have been increased to $10 each and do no come with their console. There is a classic XBox for $39 without controller, power cable or av. It figures that Good Will would price gouge their crappy electronics just in time for the holidays. Any cartridge is still just $5.99. Just GBA and GB games sitting there.

Wow! One loose one please.

The new marquee really makes the machine! I love the logo below the atari on the screen. Now you need to start mass producing this thing.

That makes me wonder if we really care about backwards compatibility anymore. The machine sounds amazing!

You notice there is no Wii U section? Maybe the Wii section should be renamed GC/Wii/U since they are all iterations on the same thing.

Why is there no sense of style anymore in console design? This thing and the xbox one look like VCRs. At least the PS4 looks like a giant eraser. That controller looks incredibly bad. It looks like conjoined intellivison controlers. All it needs is a keyboard to make for the world's worst controller design.

Just finished installing an AV composite board in my Colecovision. I bought the board from retro_mood off ebay and it was really easy to do. He shipped the board very quickly from Turkey. He also has Intellivision, Atari 2600 and Odyssey 2 boards for both NTSC and PAL.

Even Atari had one of these. I still have my Touch Me.

I used Imgburn to burn Gex to a Phillips CDR. I told it the minimum speed (1x) but it said the minimum for my drive was 8x. Gex worked. I tried burning Road Rash and it wouldn't play probably because of the write speed. it's almost not worth burning games to play on the real hardware when 4DO plays the game just was well. Collecting the games would be fun though.

What do you guys think of the EMS Top Gun 3 wireless light gun? Is it any good? How well does it work for MAME games? Can the 360 use it? Are there any other light guns that can be used with a LED/LCD monitor?

Just posting an updated picture of my gaming setup. I've recently added my AV receiver to my console setup. All the systems are now plugged in via AV or s-video and output stereo to the receiver. The computer in the room also outputs to TV and stereo for netflix viewing. All the systems are plugged in except the Colecovision (which is getting a AV mod) and the Sega CDX. The Atari 5200 and 7800 both have s-video mods and have SD card cartridges plugged in.

You need to find a phone booth from England. I hear they are bigger on the inside!

Yup. That is worth quite a bit more than $12.

This reminds me of Zaxxon Motherbase 2000 on the 32x. I really love what I see so far!

I know the 3DO doesn't have any kind of copy protection so it should be able to read CD-Rs. Is there a certain kind of CD-Rs you would recommend? My machine (FZ-1) will read commercial games fairly well. When I burn a game, it might read it the first time but not other times. It might have problems with cut scene playbacks. Sometimes it won't read the disc at all. Could it be the laser just needs cleaning?

Wow! Great review AtariLeaf! You have a great radio voice.

I think it would be great to see the game in the store again.

Was E.T. Phone Home and the rocket version of Space Invaders ever converted to the 5200?

Now we know what life in Canada is like.
