Did you say "ColecoVision"?

And speaking of portables, did you know they had planned on giving the Gameboy some PDA/PC functions?

Oh GOD! Where to start....

Capcom CPS Changer. One of the greatest systems ever if you're a capcom fan.

PC Engine LT. Awesome handheld, how I wish I could afford the $500 price.

Zemmix, a consolized MSX Computer. Uber cool.

Me and my Virtual Boy. Ahhhh, good times....(and why I'm not allowed to have a camera when I'm bored

)

Sadly, the VB is the only one I actually own (although I do have the console version of the PC Engine LT, i.e. the Turbo Grafx 16).

Oh yeah, and some pics of my VB collection.

Vive El Boy de Virtual!

Whoah! Splice-Vision! Just when you think you've seen it all!

The Virtual Boy is almost common compared to many other systems mentioned in this thread.

Yeah, not incredibly hard to find. I love the VB though, as it's probably my favorite console ever.

However, how many have you seen in recent years?

The VB actually seems ultracommon here in Chicago. I never collected because I don't have room. ...and it reminds me R-zone.

Yeah, I've just been lucky to get mine. It cost me $40 with an American copy of Red Alarm (which I no longer have). Common in Chicago? Try Alabama. Impossible to find here.

Did you guys notice the strange plugs connecting the controllers on the SpliceVision? They remind me of the inside of an old tube television.

In comparison...

I have the Dick Smith Wizzard version of #9. However, without the BASIC cartridge, I'm unable to program it. I've been on the lookout for a BASIC cartridge for some time now, thinking that it may be an interesting 6502 platform to play with.

If you could, would there be a way of storing the program? I've never played with my Atari 2600 BASIC, but I understand there's no way to save.

The Wizzard had an attachable tape drive.

That Sega thing is an MSX system computer?
