[Cliffall! a Pitfall II homage!]

My computer doesn't like it.

 

The game looks sweet, though! Keep it up!

[Microvision Advice... Is This a Good Deal?]

First off, sorry if this is in the wrong forum section, but I couldn't find any specific area for gaming advice.

 

So, recently I have got the chance to buy a Milton Bradley Microvision system for $75.

 

It comes with nine games, but the system itself is broken. The LCD ink leaked (or something) so the system turns on but the screen is dead.

The games are all in the original packing, and are in good condition.

 

The games are:

Blockbuster (duh)

Sea Duel

Baseball

Star Trek: Phaser Strike

Cosmic Hunter

Alien Raiders

Pinball

Connect Four

 

So, nine working games but a broken system for $75. Is it worth it? Could I resell it later? Is it possible to fix the screen?

 

Thanks in advance.

[If you were Nintendo, what would you do?]

To contest IPhone gaming I would release about 10 free mini-games on the 3DS eshop and encourage other companies to do the same. There may be microtransactions and ads, but still.

 

I would revive a few old franchises. They are already reviving Star Fox, so why not throw in F-Zero, Duck Hunt, Excitebike, Balloon Fighter, or Mother/Earthbound.

 

Then, release some crazy awesome Smash Bros 4 DLC.

 

Release console connection, like Sony. What is mean is if you downloaded Super Mario Bros. on the 3DS you can get it on the Wii U.

 

Lastly, release a new redesign of the Wii U and give it more power to keep it "next-gen".

[What are some arcade games that were never made into a console version?]

Mappy was ported over to this really weird failure console but other then that no. (Well, except for Wii Virtual Console)

 

Also Sky SKipper never got ported to the NES. It had an atari version but it wasn't the same.

[The most annoying enemies in classic games]

Hammer Bros. fro Super Mario

 

and Eggplant Wizards from Kid Icarus.

[Microvision Problem Stopping/Fixing? (Screen Rot, ESD Damage, Knob Damage)]

Shucks. Doesn't ship to Canada.

[Consoles you just can't get excited about]

Xbox One. The bane of my existence.

 

 

Oh, and the Game.com.

And R-Type.

Pretty much anything Tiger or Microsoft actually.

[Last 3 games you played?]

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

 

Tomodachi Life (3DS)

 

Pocket Money (Apple ii)

[Microvision Problem Stopping/Fixing? (Screen Rot, ESD Damage, Knob Damage)]

Thanks for the tips. Wow, though 8 Microvisions? How fast did they die out?

[Funstock asking for retro device of our dream... vote for a new Lynx!]

Voted for Microvision. Sorry, but the Lynx is still a pretty good system, but most Microvision's are in a state beyond repair.

[Microvision Problem Stopping/Fixing? (Screen Rot, ESD Damage, Knob Damage)]

So, I'm interested in buying a Microvision. If you are unaware, this is a 2nd-gen handheld. It is the first handheld ever to have enter-changeable cartridges. It was released in 1979.

 

The problem is, it was somewhat primitive technology at the time, so it can have a lot of problems. So if I get a working one, I would like to know how to prevent problems, especially screen rot.

 

I do know that you should never leave it in the heat/direct sun but is their anything else I should know?

 

Also is their anyway to fix/replace the knobs if they break?

 

I would especially like info from anyone who owns the system itself. Thanks a ton!

[You have $300 what do you buy?]

Hmm...

 

I would get a SNES and maybe a Dreamcast.

 

Dreamcasts are going cheap right now and I need a SNES desperately.

 

If I had money left I'd get carts and a Atari 7800.

[What's On Your Xmas Wish List? (Gaming Only)]

Wii U, Atari 7800, Intellivision, NES or SNES are my top wants.

 

Plus, I'll basically buy any console as long as it's cheap so... yeah.

[Sharknado Game (Atari 2600,7800 Programmers)]

A sharknado game would blow my mind.
There is also a second movie.

And they are making a third...

[If Atari made a new console, what would it be called?]

Wow, got a lot more replies than I expected.

I didn't know that Atari got the chance to make a flashback console... that would have been amazing.

Interesting seeing what people have to say.

[If Atari made a new console, what would it be called?]

Just joined this site, and I am a Atari lover so yeahhhh. (Also might be getting an intellivision)

Just wanted to know, what you guys would think a new Atari console would be called- (if it ever happened which I highly doubt)

I was thinking the "Atari Revolution"

 

Side Note: What if Sega made a new console?

My guess: Sega Vortex

 

Hope to see some answers!

 

PS: I know this is kinda random but I just want to try interacting a bit on the forums...
