If you could have any console, what would it be?

[xDragonWarrior]

For me it would be the Famicom Titler:

 

a Entex AdventureVision:

 

and a bandai Playdia(nice colorful system):

[BassGuitari]

Not just consoles, but...

 

APF M1000, Arcadia 2001, a working Bally system, Exidy Sorceror, Sol-20, ADAM, Video Brain, CD-i, Apple/Bandai Pippin, an INTV System III in good condition, a 32/64K Color Computer 1 in good condition, an Atari Heavy Sixer (I have a Sears, but not Atari), Odyssey 2 w/ detachable joysticks, Kee Games Programmable System (yeah right...but a case mod would do!), Sears Speedway IV, Odyssey 4000...

 

I'm pretty sure I'll be collecting until I'm dead.

[Tales from the Game Room]

So many great systems, so little time...

Pretty much had 'em all (computers and handhelds too) so don't really covet any of this stuff anymore. The AdventureVision looks pretty damned cool though. Too bad so few games were released for it. Any home brewing going on for it?

[BrutallyHonestGamer]

at this time, if i wanted to be realisitc with my money situation, I would say a Turboduo. non-realistic goal would be either the Adventurevision or a Laseractive.

[famicommander]

The only systems I want that I don't already own:

Commodore 64

Atari XEGS

PC Engine Duo-R

Nintendo 64DD (way too expensive)

Bally Astrocade

 

And since we're dreaming anyway, a Funtech Super A'Can.

[goldenegg]

For me it would be the Famicom Titler

 

Wow, I never heard of that before. Just sent an email to a buddy in Tokyo to pick one up for me.

[Reaperman]

Of what I don't have, I suppose the Capcom CPS changer tops my list.

 

 

I'd also really like to get a lodgenet system of some kind--especially the snes. It's really hard to find the base units for those.

[OldSchoolRetroGamer]

Atari XEGS

Intellivision (I have an INTVII would like some variations of the original models)

 

I consider my wants fairly reasonable, just finding a trustworthy and decently priced including shipping to CANADA has been oddly challenging.

[Seob]

For completing the collection, systems released here,

Sega 32x,

Sega CD

Neo Geo AES

Neo Geo CD

3DO

 

For systems that i think are interesting

Atari XEGS

Turbografx

[raskar42]

A consolized sega game gear.

[mkiker2089]

I'd like a Neo Geo MVS. I mean the real deal arcade machine. I've looked at the home version from Analouge but you can get arcade machines for the same or less depending on patience. however using my own TV and not depending on an aging CRT has value.

[+grips03]

neo geo mvs

[TheAtarianGuy]

I would have to say the SAM Coupe. I've always wanted one, I just don't think I'll ever have the money.

[Punisher5.0]

I would go with a fully functional M2.

[+atari2600land]

Either a Colecovision or a Vectrex.

Yeah one homebrew

I consider my wants fairly reasonable, just finding a trustworthy and decently priced including shipping to CANADA has been oddly challenging.

 

This has been a major issue for a long time now. Shipping costs to Canada (even within Canada) are getting worse every year. I'm not one to shy away on spending money on things I want, but there are many times I haven't purchased something as a matter of principle. To make things worse, there are so many people who massively inflate shipping costs.

 

A perfect example is a deal I was working on with someone for a Game & Watch Balloon Fight Crystal Series game. The guy lives in Boston and I'm in Toronto. He wanted $150 to ship the package via USPS First Class (for those not familiar with it, that's a very basic package service)!?!?! I told him that was ridiculous, as you could get next day shipping for a third of that, but he refused to budge. Even though the price for the unit plus shipping was still reasonable, I walked away as I refused to let him do that.

[Lentzquest]

As far as hardware goes, I have pretty much what I want. Although I would love to get my hands on one of the NES toploaders that came from the factory with composite output already installed. They're not something I've actively sought out, but if I stumbled upon one I'd pick it up in a heartbeat.

[high voltage]

I wouldn't mind a cib Epoch Game Pocket Computer and a cib Palmtex Super Micro, both with games. And a Entex Select-a-Game.

[Austin]

Of what I don't have, I suppose the Capcom CPS changer tops my list.

 

CPS Changer? I'm intrigued. Explain, please.

 

[Algus]

I just wish I had the space for a mini arcade. A couple of pinball tables and a few cabinets.

 

A Neo Geo I guess. Not my style of games really but would be fun for multiplayer.

 

I own everything that I'm really interested in already.

[CatPix]

A Magnavox Odyssey.

Export model, SECAM version, CIB.

Seems reasonable?

Well, so far, only ONE loose unit have been found... on a figure of 800-1000 sold in France.

It's not even a matter of price, it's a matter of availability

The CPS Changer was basically a home console that played Capcom's arcade games(just like the Neo Geo Aes played SNK's arcade games) http://www.videogameconsolelibrary.com/pg90-capcom.htm

I would like to pick up another Astrocade. Should have taken the one we had when I moved out of mom's in '89. Not sure why I only took the ColecoVision.
