Game.com Replacement Parts?

[goob47]

So I just picked up a Game.com at the same guy's house where I got the Virtual Boy. He had just bought all of the items from an old video game store, and didn't know what a lot of the stuff was, so I snagged it for 5 bucks with a copy of Frogger. It powers on and everything works fine, but it's missing the original stylus and battery cover. I've already searched ebay far and wide looking for parts, but there doesn't seem to be any other options. Does anyone know of a site that sells reproduction Game.com parts? It's just for my collection, so I don't particularly care if they aren't original. Thanks!

I would think any stylus would work on it. You're not going to find parts for that system very easily if at all, without buying another unit.

For instance this one on ebay is not expensive, has issues, but has the stylus and probably the battery cover, if you ask the seller.

Agreed. GOAtari which was a West Coast based distributor ended up with the Game.com stuff that the manufacturer had left after the console was no longer at retail, but GoAtari has been shut down for years and I don't believe parts are available anywhere at this time.

What these guys said. You have yourself a donor unit now. Buy another, then when it dies you'll have spare parts. It's not like they're pricey or anything.

Sigh... I have the clear green model, and there aren't any units in that color for parts.

I reckon 3D printing for something like this ought to be feasible – but of course, you'd need some kind of model to start from.
