Very nice

Nintendo didnt save anything, at least here in the Netherlands. I was a kid back in the day and i didnt hear of the NES years later after it hit the market. Why, we where all talking about homecomputers over here. They where the smarter buy, you could use it for other things then gaming. Although most never got used for something other then gaming. So the whole Nintendo saved gaming is heavily over exaggerated looking from a European stand point.

The computer used in wargames in the bedroom is a IMSAI 8080. Not a prop, Wopr is a prop, but its a mainframe prop, not a home computer. I would thrust this site over wiki http://www.starringthecomputer.com/computers.html

Looks really great. Nice work. Hope you dont mind that i posted a link to your project on the videopac . nl forum

Luckily i have overlays for all my vectrex games, and i really like them. Like others say, you dont really need them in order to play a game, but they just make the game look more compleet. Also they have labels for the buttons, so you know what firebuttons do. I really like that.

Did you order the cap kit form console5? Cant find a console9 shop. Need some cap kits for my 2 vectrexs, but shipping costs put me off. 27 dollar shipping is a lot for a little kit. Did find a supplier in Germany, but his cap kit costs 29 euro. Can order at console5 since i also need some c64 power savers, but those are out of stock at the moment.

Had a bit of difficulty trying to figure out the power output of the power board since nothing is labeled. According to http://www.mainbyte.com/ti99/hardware/power_supply.htmlthe board I have is the top one, the ti99 one. If you would then convert the pin out using the second psu board and the connector pin out down the page, I would have wired the psu wrong and had blown out the ram chips. Using the scematics on the page and trying to trace back the leads I was finally able to wire my ti to a pc power supply. And it works. Next I need to modify the rf modulator so I can use component video instead of rf.

I prefer to use my a500 with 500kb expansion and gotek drive. I dont feel the need for adding a harddisk to my amiga, although i now that at least the games that spanned several disks could benefith because of the disk swapping. For 90% of the games i like to play this is a good enough setup. That said i did have a 1200, but sadly it was broken and i didnt want to sell out a lot of monet to replace it. I think my preffered setup would be a amiga 600 with a compact flash harddisk. Nice small form factor and ide compatible. My collection of amiga stuff used to include the a1000, nice looking machine, but in standard config to limited. A amiga cdtv, nice looking machine, but not compatible with normal amiga mouse and joysticks, expensive. A1200, nice machine but very expensive, low powered psu. A amiga cd32, with a keyboard, nice to load games of cdrom, but the drive mechanisme is a bit to fiddly. Also expensive. So price wish i think the a500 is the cheapest way to get into amiga gaming.

Hi, selling of my Magnavox CD-i 550. The model has the dvc already build in. I repaired the timekeeper battery, so it wil save gamedata. I used a cr2032 to repair it. The unit also comes with a controller and 5 games. This is a PAL unit and uses 230v. I replaced the connector on the powersupply, so it snaps in again. All games are scratch free, but some game cases have broken spindle holders. I live in the Netherlands so please asked the shipping costs first. Monitor not included.

That is bad business. To bad because they Deen to have nice stuff.

Cannot remember if i have ever ordered from next-level, but they seem to be a legit company. They have a Dutch chamber of commerce number so they see legit.

I have a ti99/4a, but i do not have a powersuplly for it. Any change of testing it without the original power supply? Can i hack into the circuit on some spots, since it uses 19v ac, i assume it converts the power somewhere to dc for the mainboard.

I had a comx35. That used the RCA 1802, processor. Think it was only sold in the Netherlands.

I picked white, due to the fact our first pc had a white fosfor cga screen. I hated playing cga in color due to the magneta and cyan colors. But on a balck and white screen cga looked so much better. I also have fond memories using green fosfor screens due to our cpc464 having a green screen. Currently my only computer that still has a monochrome screen is my(was i just sold it) Commodore PC-1.

I love the msx. I use my Philips nms-8245 as my goto msx2 computer. I replaced the floppydrive with a 720k gotek floppy emulator and that works fine. Some day i plan to own a scc multicart. But for now i have other priorities. Im currently scaling down my collection, and doing so i just sold my Philips nms-8250 and Philips vg-8235. Both had a bad floppy drive. Sold them to a other collector here in the Netherlands for 100. So deals can still be have if you get lucky. In the netherlands we have marktplaats for selling stuff, and here you can find Philips brand msx2 computers pretty often for under 100. Only downside for those out of Europe is that they are PAL and use 220v. Gamesack did a show on the MSX very recent. May be nice to have a look. LGR also has some MSX videos as well as CGR. I really love the Konami games for the MSX. Sadly they become pricy. Would love to add Nemesis and Metal Gear to the collection, since i have fond memories playing these games at my friends place.

Loved the speed Beos had back in the day. One of my favorite os's. Also played a bit with os/2 warp and liked what i did see.

I got a nice collection of vintage computers and hardware collected in the last 1 1/2 year. Worked in the computer business from around 1997 to 2001. For years i did away with all my old hardware until 2 years ago when I regretted it. Since then I have a nice collection of computers and hardware including a Commodore PC-1 8088 a IBM ps/2 model 30 8086 and 80286. A 386, a 486 and a few pentium models. Got a 12mb voodoo2 sli setup. Got a awe32, awe64 and Logitech opl4 sound card. One day I hope to add a sb pro2, a Adlib and a s220 verite and a philips p2230 our first pc to my collection. Love playing with it and my home computers more then my consoles.

Most i have every spend on a single retro game was 60 euro for Solar Crusade for the CD-i. But that game is very hard to get. On the other hand, i refused to pay the crazy prizes people ask for Zelda's Adventure. I always said i would find that games somewere at a fleamarket for only 1 euro. And i did eventually. Games for the vectrex i'm willing to pay more for, because of the overlays.

You could try and check mobygames. Go to the game you want to check and then look at the coverart. A lot of times they have a scan of the disks with the number of disk.

I do collect for n-gage, but it is one of many systems i collect for.

I love this one. Great humour.

In europe the later released videopac games are also mostly complete in box, due to the sturdy plastic clamshell packaging.

Your post made me wonder, so i check prices in the Netherlands and Germany, and yes indeed, prices have sky rocketed. 240+ euro for only the console. I wanted a spare, because mine has some trouble reading discs. But i think i just going to try and replace the laser unit, and see if it fixes the problems. I already fixed the reversed installed sound capacitors, and hacked a a500 keyboard for use with my cd32. But i mostly play games on my stock a500 with usb floppy emulator. I got really lucky with the cd32, got it for free when i bought my cdtv from the same guy for only 25 euro. It had a rusted backplate and some connecters had rust on them, but otherwise the console was in not to bad of a shape.

Nice looking. Did you put screenshots on the long sides of the box? Can't see them since you only took a picture of the short side of the box.
