dangit i dont think that worked, anyways, i got a BIN for $9.99 with no cords or anything, just the loose system. $15 shipping, and then another $14CDN for the stupid customs charge, all in all, still like half the price i woulda paid normally

I've got an APF MP1000. But I have a Mega CD that Says "Property of Sega of America" on it. No lockouts that I have seen...but then again did the Sega CD have lockouts?

My rarest system would be the front loading NES that doesn't go blink-blink. :lol:

Next to that is my Vectrex.

Japanese system : Casio Loopy


Hey, what is this thing? Is it just a label maker of sorts? I've seen it, and the cartridges, in auctions, but it's not clear exactly what it is...

slapdash
09-25-2002, 03:25 PM
I don't know how rare they are, but Japanese:

Bandai TV Jack 5000
Casio PV-1000 & PV-2000
Epoch Cassettevision & Super Cassettevision
Epoch PokeKon
Gakken TV Boy
Othello Multivision
Sega SG-1000 & SG-1000 II

I love that old obscure stuff!

As for the US, maybe my Super Micro (Palmtex PVS) handheld, though it's not video. I don't have anything too rare in that regard... Maybe Vectrex or APF, or Coleco Telstar Arcade.

- Sharp X1 Twin (Japanese computer with built-in PC Engine)
- Boxed Atari Video Music (does this count? :))

Umm... I've only got a DC, N64, & Coleco, but there's a Vectrex in the house with a multicart plugged into it that's practically mine ;)
And there's a Pac Man arcade in the other room, but that doesn't really count :D

It's a console system designed for the girl ! You can play some (crappy) games but what makes it cool is the fact that there is a printer in it.

Hey! I got my top loader at Funco too! I always tell people who want one to ask them and be patient. (That and hope you have employees there who will actually check rather than just going to the back room and coming back out with out doing a damn thing!) I got mine the frist time I asked. Whoo hoo!

Other than that, Virtual Boy is about it.

I've been looking for a Imagination Machine for a long time. I got the Basic cartridge years ago, but with the IM it's useless. What is this "J" connector?

BTW have you tried your M1000 on a large TV? I found that mine won't work on anything bigger than a 16" TV.

Tempest

The "J" connector (my term) is what connects the M1000 to the IM. The short end goes into the M1000 as it sits on the IM, the long end goes into the first of the 2 cartridge slots on the IM. Then carts can be played through the 2nd slot on the IM. Viewed from the side, it literally looks like a block letter capital "J".

And I'm pretty sure I had it hooked up to a 19" TV at one point.

You know I'm lame when I'm thinking I should do some research into my inventory to answer this question.

Perhaps it's my Adventurevision.
Perhaps my Bandai Arcadia complete in box.
Or maybe my Haminex Ramses (Creativision clone.)
I do have a Super Cassette Vision Lady in the mail. She's a beauty.

Too bad only Slapdash will recognize all 4 of those. I think my goal in collecting is strictly to make Russ Perry jealous. How's it going Russ?

And let me state, for the record, that there is nothing lame about claiming your NES or Wonderswan are your rarest items. At least you have fun systems! Most of this crap I dig collecting are not for play- just for looks. I definitely would be just as well off if I was just sitting here with an NES and 10 choice carts. I'd probably be having more fun playing them than I would struggling to pay for rare systems I won't play.

Heh, well, you've only got me on 3 of the 4, as I at least have the SCV Lady already. I might have gotten a Bandai Arcadia, but the cost would have been exorbitant.

Hi Russ,


(Oh, and re-reading the thread, I think Ianoid did you a disservice figuring that I'd be the only one that recognized the 4 systems he mentioned)

Well depends on his point of view. We all know that you're a game console collector. Since you're posting very more often than me, Ian must have think that i was gone, dead or something. :D

There's too many game systems that we could label "RARE", especially the ones that are too weird or obscure to be known.

For now, i can't say anything about a project i'm working on but it does relate to video games. If i can finished this project, i'll be in heaven! :P ('nuff said!).

Not sure which is the rarest...but here is what I have (nothing really rare):

Panzer Dragoon Orta White Limited Edition XBOX (new)

Super Famicom Satellaview (new) - makes a nice paper weight.

o_O

Nice...nice...too much money you have...as if any of that will lose value, I think not. The Sharp Twin actually isn't too rare; the rarest *functional* Famicom item would be the Sharp "Titler" unit, which is a Famicom that can add titles to your home videos. Hooray...

My rarest item (not really rare at all) on the hardware side would have to be my MSX2, but I haven't been buying systems (in fact, at the moment the only other system I consider a collectible is my Neo Geo AES. Gold System, but who cares?)

I should be getting a SuperGrafx + CD-ROM adapter soon, as well as a Sinclair ZX-Spectrum (it's been over a decade since anybody in my family owned one, in fact I daresay it was traded off for that awful TI-99 before I was born).
