I sold some stuff recently, and have a little bit of money coming my way. Since this site is full of gamefans like myself. It seems like the perfect place to ask this.

Theres a number of things I’ve been wanting game releated. Most of the stuff is pretty cheap to buy on sites like ebay. Heres an example, I’ve been wanting Taz on 2600 and you can buy that for like $10. I figured I should just save the cheaper stuff like Taz and the others, for some other time. Since there easy and cheap to buy. So I’m wanting to buy something thats more on the expensive side.

These things include a Flashboy, 3DO console, and maybe a Vectrex if I could find one in my price range.

Which of these would in your opion be the best one to get? and would be the most enjoyable. If you picked one of the consoles, could you please recomned some games.

Flashboy and 3DO are both rad. Only played a Vectrex once back in the day.

Maybe you’d be interested in one of the Sharp Titler famicom / “home-video subtitling” consoles that has S-Video output for the games. I owned one once and the picture quality was so good that I refuse to ever play NES again until I get another one.

Also, I’m a big fan of the goofy 2600 clones. Some of them have pretty cool designs.

If you’re into the obscure, The black & white Gamate handheld console is pretty neat too.

If you’re just looking for your initial 3 mentioned items, if you can get a loose flashboy on the cheap I have an extra box I could toss your way. 🙂

Thanks for the suggestions.

I’m a famicom collector, Sharp Titlers used to be available (new) for around $300 if you knew where to look but now because all the NES collectors want to rip out the video component you’re lucky if you can find one for double that…

I’d vote for a Vectrex because it’s pretty unique (and has homebrew projects/demos) and Minestorm also makes a flashcart for it 🙂

Those Sharp Titlers that you and VirtualJockey mentioned are pretty cool. But just way to expensive.

I will go ahead and try to score a Vectrex if I can get one in my price range.

Thanks for the suggestion.
