Really obscure consoles

[Pyromaniac605]

Is this considered obscure? It's certainly my rarest console.

 

 

looks pretty cool never seen on before and the games go in above the screen?

I've got a loose RCA Studio II and what I think is a complete US release library for the system....all games are boxed except 1....

You still got that thing? lol.

 

Aren't you missing Bingo for it? I can't remember if you had that one or not.

The most obscure console I have is the NES toploader, nothing too extreme yet, but Im getting there

I have a NEC Supergrafx and a Unisonic Tournament 2000 Pong Clone but that is about it.

I have a bunch of rare consoles, like the APF, Arcadia, Astrocade, Aquarius, Adam etc, but my favorite one is the Intellivision ECS.

 

It's a weird rare add on that turns your intellivision into a low end computer. There are six released games for it, and one of them, Mind Strike, is quite possible one of the best strategy games ever made. The ECS had a built in basic interpreter with syntax highlighting, and the ability to steal graphics from any inserted intellivision cart. Very cool feature, that!

 

It also plays the most amazing baseball game of the era.

 

Great, completely unappreciated console

Mine would be LaserActive, actually the system itself isn't really that obscure (as many people have it), but my collections would be obscure (Pic1 will be my NG collection if anyone is curious)

My game collection is bigger today, have all US games now. Just got Time Gal MegaLD which is final unique game I don't have. I still don't have all the Japanese LaserActive games since a few games came out on both MegaLD and LD-Rom2.

Wow! That's beautiful. How much did Time Gal run you (if I may ask)?

Well, I don't want to repeat what I have said in DP (just say this game sucks, but here's my post

I got it from Yahoo Japan for 75000 Yen and the seller is willing to deal and ship directly overseas. Ironically, this is the most I've ever paid for a game (including Neo-Geo), I got pretty much all the games and accessories in early 2000s when they were still relatively easy to find in Yahoo Japan (mind you, they were still not easy), it just took a lot of work for me.

 

Usually, many rare games came in huge lots of games, systems, etc in early 2000s in Japan as people were getting out of collecting. So I bought a number of those, kept games/hardware I wanted, re-sold others I didn't need (I actually regretted selling a few games thinking they'd be easy to find again, but I didn't have much money a few years ago). In the end, I hardly spent anything, in fact, I made a little bit of profit selling in Europe and US. Today (even in Yahoo Japan), all those items are scarce, if anything comes up, you're competing with far more bidders for far fewer rare/good stuff (same with other games/systems) especially from the West.

Thank you very much for the answer. I really was curious. I figured I was just seeing it wrong or there was a totally different explanation for it, but I guess I was pretty darn close! Funny stuff.
