Title: my 2.. cents...
Post by: caincan on October 17, 2010, 08:31:30 PM
i started years ago,  when not many people were hunting "non-nintendo", (without investing much,   thanks to a local charityshop).   the shame is prices nowadays even for "non-nintendo".   americans litteraly blow the auctions on ebay.france !

Thx ;)

the most which are lacking in picture are the tabletop ones.   i have too some instructions notices localized in french. its very rare !

my favorites are the ones i played younger.   i guess the  bandai & the solar bandai.  we talked a bit Bruno on the other forum about this ;).     the problem is seek your mind memory,  it's been hard to remember (especially when you have 6-7 years old...)     i searched the last one specifically,  it took hours and hours,  thanks to  handheldmuseum pictures !  (it was a very common game in UK,  emtex invaders)

what i like is the style of games, so i searched more of different influences designs.

i guess my favorites are the older ones with diodes.  it's so subtle and makes me remember some "wall arcades with diodes spaceinvaders games !" i played in Italy_Ventimiglia front sea arcade.

the shame is the "ebay" market about it,  some are really nuts for prices and european versions ! (i would like to have more "boxed", but the prices are so outrageous,   even worse than "nintendo" game&watch !!)

from an old POV. i really like this shrine to these games in the  retro arcade museum  (sadly closed due to some insane old law...)

Impressive collection! I got a few flashbacks from some of the games in there.

Game On had a nice little handheld bubble shrine:
