Another one from the mailman: Bandai Pengo!
« on: September 09, 2010, 10:13:33 PM »
Today I got one of the best arcade to VFD conversions ever: Sega's Pengo in Bandai VFD form.
Very nice graphics, and great Pengo gameplay. Very nice find! My cam has microUSB, and in front of me I have a mini-USB cable. No pics yet :(.

Just to give you an idea of what it looks like:

Yes, the game play looks very accurate. Very nice addition... but I hope to see the real picture of your game  :P

In my opinion, the best Arcade to Hand Held conversion is ... Super Cobra from Entex ... but this will be an other post  ;)

OK: PICS!

Not just Pengo, but I put about 10 under the camera:

Its about 1/4th of all games I have.

What amazes me is how good they all work. From all I got, 1 had a dead battery contact, one had a direction-pad logic board wire breach caused by battery acid, and 1 has a slight faded LCD. That's all what's wrong after 30 years, and apart from the one with LCD fade all games are fully working again thanks to easy fixes. And thank god all these games have SCREWS. Not those glued and clicked together un-repairable modern crap.

It's a very very nice collection indeed.
...and may I add that the pictures are really good too, so sharp, they all look like new.
Let me know if you have a spare Galaxy Invader for sale as you mentioned earlier.
This was my number one handheld game when I was a kid. I hope I will still find it fun to play.

It was a great deal. First I really considered buying this one:

As most on Ebay do 200E+,
but now I know the game is white, not yellow  ;D

Still interested in one? They are not that hard to find, so I can imagine you found one already. I bought a lot of 8 games today, and it will include another Galaxy Invader.

Yes, still interested, thanks for remembering that!
All the ones I've found were in really bad condition so I'm still looking.
I have really great memories of that one.
PM me when you'll have the time  ;)

Still did not receive anything. Anybody of you guys in France close to Nantes? The guy who got 125 euro on the bank from me still did not ship. Guess I have to go there with a van of Yoegoslavs.
