nonner242 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 A Pandora that I have been waiting for... and may another 7800...but a nice boxed or modded one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaUSA Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 1979 Famicom? Pics? Very sorry my mistake, it is an original Japanese hvc-001 Famicom from 1983, I live in Japan so I have access to some really strange things, I don't know where I got 79 from. With that said I might be able to pickup anything hard to get from Japan if people are looking. Any good import GC games out there? I know most of the good imports are on PS2, but I need something to play on my Panasonic Q before I get it modded lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few games here that didn't come out in other countries nothing really amazing if my memory is any good. I'll have a look around, GC games are a little hard to come by because the system wasn't that popular, I have one myself with a few games.

hex65000 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 As far as systems go I have nothing planned. I'm sure I'll get a PS3 eventually. To put this in perspective, I bought a Xbox 360 from Crazy Climber 4-6 months ago... It is still sitting in its shipping box. I haven't even plugged it in. It's embarrassing. The games I have for it I've loaned to my friends, because at least they have time to play them. I believe that I've hit the proverbial wall here and am just going to enjoy the platforms I have and just accumulate software and properly oufit what I own. On the (short) hardware want list... PS3 (no rush) 1-2 Coctail arcade machines (Space Duel or Tempest.) Perhaps a Mame/Neo-Geo cabinet. (no space ) Fully functional Apple 2 rig (see above) Fully functional Atari 8-bit rig (ditto) That's it. Hex. [ Perhaps that thin mint wasn't such a hot idea... ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind one, myself! Speaking of personal arcades I have access to a Japanese store about 20 mins down the road from me that sells used arcade hardware (95% Japanese stuff), including complete sets, most of the stuff is without the cases (space is an issue in Japan) but the hardware is all there, I really wanted to take a look but dont know where to start.... any ideas?

Oh no, not real arcade machines. He was talking about the Telegames Personal Arcade AKA Dina 2-1 game system. The Telegames Personal Arcade is a Colecovision compatible game system, not an actual arcade machine. It also plays SEGA SG-1000 games too. Sorry for the confusion Below is a pic of what were talking about. (not my pic, just found it on google) I own two. Like the pic shows, one with DINA label and another with Telegames USA label.

phaxda Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I have been really into the Genesis lately, so was thinking about a Sega Nomad. Unfortunately, they seem kind of pricey. Other than that, nothing. I have more systems than I know what to do with right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, nothing. I have more systems than I know what to do with right now. I got mine for $7 at a garage sale with a copy of Sonic 1. Again old people are clueless. Here's a pic. I had no idea what it was when i got it. But then after looking on Ebay, I realized how rare it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimerians Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) I have a Dina....its a piece of crap. It comes with a built in game and the controller is half ass. Sorry, I cant recommend that bastard clone. I will be getting another CV soon or possibly another Wii.

catbox_9 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm not sure when I'll get around to buying something, but my next purchase will either be a 5200, 7800, or SMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I currently have a 2600, 5200, 7800, Colecovision and C64. I have some holes to fill in respect to the carts I would like to purchase to complete my collection for each respective console. I am only buying games that I want to play, not trying to collect every cart produced for that console. I am really interested in beginning to collect the old standalone consoles like Pong, Superpong and the old Odyssey consoles. For me that would be a real trip and hell for my wife. Now, my wife is not a nag or bad person, she just does not have the same appreciation for this stuff as I do. I'm sure others in this forum have the same reality. Also, I would probably add the XEGS to my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otaku Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm buying all the early consoles after having owned all of the 1990 on stuff more or less anyway lots of stuff: atari lynx, 2600, 3DO, vectrex, more! I still have alot of machines/games to buy thankfully I'm young so I have time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm probably not going to add to my system collection anytime soon. I recently picked up an SNES on the cheap, and I'm starting a collection of games for that. I'd like to get more for my Saturn too. If I were to get anything: 1. N64 2. Colecovision 3. SMS Not diss a genesis, but that collection for the 360/PS3 is nicely done. However, I did run across a genesis 2 with the Sega CD and 32X attachment complete with hook ups. They were asking $90. Tempting, but a bit too pricey to me. With effort, I could probably get the items separately and knock off about $25 or so. Again, I'm satisfied with that collection, most of the 32X games are crap, and SegaCD games work fine with a modded xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICH666 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I want a 7800 but there is absolutely nowhere that has games. I'm surrounded by 5 Play-N-Trades and they don't have a single 7800 game. The 7800 never took off here on Long Island. The NES had a year head start thanks to test marketing in 85' and that pretty much destroyed the 7800.

I got a 7800 for $20 off of eBay and between eBay, CTCW, members here at AA and gaming expos I am having no problems at all getting games. As a matter of fact, I have a bunch of dupes you can buy off of me to get you started. PM me if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will if I ever get one. the problem for me is that almost every week there is a different selection of games at play-n-trade for nearly all of my consoles (the exclusing being the TurboGrafx 16). In turn I get one or two new games every week. That just won't be the case for the 7800 unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Next up for me console wise would be a SuperGrafx,a NEC Shuttle and more Atari 2600 systems(you can't have too many of these around). Edited May 2, 2009 by jboypacman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
