My home consoles & handhelds collection

[lwizardl]

Thought I would share my gaming collection for home consoles, computers, and handhelds with the group.

These are old pictures but the only thing that has changed is I have added more and it looks clustered, so these pictures look better.



Spares and Doubles




My ZX Spectrum+

[lwizardl]

thanks  Etienne MacGyver!, Crue has been one of my all the time favorite bands since my childhood

[level42]

That's not a collection.


No Atari 8 bit......



 

[lwizardl]

working on it, I want an atari 800xl and an atari xe.

[level42]

Excellent choices sir. For the XE may I suggest the XEGS ? IMHO the coolest of the XE series with it's separated keyboard and awesome design

But seriously.......very impressive collection !!!!  

[Q*ris]

Pretty cool, do you have any Vectrex stuff?

[lwizardl]

Thanks Level42! and  Q*ris!

I'll look into the XEGS for sure, I do not have any vectrex stuff yet been hunting for some

I did just get 2 of the like 12 games released for the 1978 APF MP-1000 Imagination Machine

bought this on christmas eve and it just got here yesterday.

FM Towns Marty, listed as broken. Got it for $122.50+$67 shipping


Opened it up and found the door sensor broken.


Taped the sensor down and it read a audio cd, later tested free software collection vol2, splatterhouse, and muscle bomber all loaded fine.


tested a floppy diskette and it sounded really loud, removed the drive and found broken belt. WIll be replacing that next.


Now to find a controller

[Andreas_AUT]

What in gods name is this?

I just googled it, first 32 Bit home console, interesting. But my first thought was: what the hell, over 100 bucks for a broken unit? Wow!

Congrats with the purchase!

[lwizardl]

thanks  Andreas_AUT! yeah it is a oddball system based on a 386/486 computer from Japan. Broken systems go upto $360ish and working are usually 500+

Cool stuff, never heard of these before.
Seems like they released tons of games for this system:

I spotted Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, that one rocks!
