In Topic: The Top 5 Items In Your Collection

Mon Feb 6, 2012 7:43 PM

I am going to list my "weirdest" stuff in the collection. Keep in mind this is not a "favorite" list.

1. LG portable CD-i player. It's an LG-branded device but the manufacturing date places it in a time when LG was still going by Goldstar. Additionally, it has a lithium battery and a d-pad and buttons on the TOP of the system's disc tray (toploading style in the same vein as PS1 or Saturn). I have only seen one on eBay once, and it went for 650 euro at auction.
It looks like this:

Except with LG logos instead of Goldstar. I have never seen another one in person, or anywhere else except in the aforementioned eBay auction.

2. Neo Geo MVS arcade cabinet with the most recent UNIBIOS installed, beautiful 27 inch CRT monitor. Just replaced the sticks and buttons and changed the layout.

3. Nintendo Game Boy Light. Basically a Game Boy Pocket, except with an odd blue backlght like you'd find in a 1990s Casio watch. It was only released in Japan and as far as I am aware only 12,000 of them were produced.

4. Vectrex. My Vectrex has a beautiful monitor, it came in the original box, the controller is in pristine condition, and the "Vectrex hum" is present but not nearly as obnoxious as I have seen it with other machines.

5. My Nintendo Game and Watch Ball game from Club Nintendo. Basically just a scaled-down remake of the original hardware. Very cool thing to own.

+1 to the list idea.

I love Laserdisc.

Joust, just because it's by far the best home port of the game I have ever played.

In Topic: POLL: Which Lynx model do you prefer?

The Lynx II, no question in my mind. I can't think of a reason to go with the original.

Being a CD-i owner myself, I'm not one of those people who considers it a bad platform. I enjoy quite a few games on that system.

But still, I have a very difficult time imagining anyone placing it above the SNES, Genesis, Turbografx-16, or Neo-Geo. What makes you consider it the best fourth generation system?
