Weird Microvision-like thing...

[pinball22]

The variety of strange made-in-China game things amazes me sometimes: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 280375732877

 

I'm not sure I understand the description... it makes it sound like either you get five of those whole things or like each of the screens has all the games in it, in which case I don't know why you need four of them.

Here is a review of one of those units: http://www.youtube.com/user/ashens?blend=1.../31/x00RgdSkt50 it starts about halfway in.

 

Based on the description in the auction it looks like you get 5 of those horrible things

How is this like microvision?

[kroogur]

Probably due to the low tech graphics i suppose. And the systems ability to swap out the "games" by changing the screens.

Yeah, I meant because the screen is in the game.

Yeah, I meant because the screen is in the game.

The Microvision LCD is part of the main unit, not the cartridge. That's unfortunate because if it were in the cartridge, there'd be a lot more playable Microvision units out there.

 

But, there is an overlay in the cartridge that layers some extra stuff ton top of the LCD such as the diamond and batter's box in Baseball and the lane/gutters in Bowling.
