@obsidianspider these are the other two. The joystick unscrews on the one and usually is missing.

Something you don't see everyday, even here in Japan.

Is that even possible? I thought japenese people have seen everything. :D

Everything

Oh My Goodness, this made my day!

@ddoherty958 It's all fun and games until someone gets blue shelled...

[ddoherty958]

@victimrlsh

Oh I see that blue shell and I think “ah. What do I do now?!?!?”

[VictimRLSH]

@ddoherty958 You could throw your controller at them, or grab the last piece of pizza off their plate. Blue Shelling is almost as bad as choosing Odd Job. Almost...

I may or may not have decided I also needed a boxed Japanese Super Game Boy. It just arrived today.

I got lucky the other day and found a Neo Geo Pocket Color in my local area. A quick cleaning and she looks great. Sadly, it didn’t come with any games.

At least you can give us all our horoscopes ;)

@obsidianspider like i said man, its all about that settings game. I got the high score on Select Launguage. You’re Winner!

[MrJordaaany]

@celly Just scored a couple more games myself today. SNK vs Capcom Match of the Millennium and both SNK card fighters games.

My Match Millennium is Japanse. But it turns out alot of their games supported dual language. So its much cheaper to buy some of the Japanese games, rather than the English counter parts:

@mrjordaaany nice! Yeah I’ve been playing (emulating) the NGP/C games for a while. Its a fun little system. I actually just bought a Neo Geo Flash Masta flash cart from RetroModding. Can’t wait!

Just got myself a Vectrex :)

[obsidianspider]

@ruckage That thing is MINT! Wow!

[A Former User]

@obsidianspider @ruckage Seriously, that thing looks immaculate.

@obsidianspider @LiveFastCyYoung
Yeah, it's great condition - I'm really pleased with it. There is a small mark/dent on the top which the seller disclosed but to be honest if he hadn't mentioned it I never would have noticed. The extra controller is also slightly scratched on the bottom as the rubber feet had worn away but nothing major and I've put new feet on it now. Also the scramble overlay has some warping in the middle - I'm currently trying to decide whether to attempt to fix it with the use of heat or leave it as it is (I could make it worse).

Sadly nothing was boxed but that does make the condition even more impressive - It was obviously well looked after.

@ruckage

Please for gods sakes don't put a Pi in it and don't even think of creating a Vectrex theme. :-D

You not only got a Vectrex you also got a bunch of games with it. Very nice!
That is a collectors item right there.

@flyingtomahawk

Damn, too late - I've already ripped the insides out and forced a 28inch monitor into it - just required a bit of cutting and gluing of the case to get it all to fit :P .

[celly]

@ruckage just, wow. That thing looks great. Even got the overlays. Very nice!
