lol, I keep mine on my desk with a bag over it’s head to keep it dust-free. It goes back in the box, in a storage box when not in use though. Nothing fancy 🙂
I picked up a mosaic demo tap the other week 🙂
I had the same thing as Benjamin, but, as a regular customer I insisted he send me a demo tap and he did.
He has none left now, I already checked.

Benjamin I think that’s the most astute case for dumping carts I ever saw. In the case of Space Pinball, i was dumped, but it was also kept quiet which I find quite odd. In some ways I’d prefer a rare cart owner to just keep the cart rather than dump a backup and share with a few sworn to secrecy.
Either way it’s a sore discussion because prototypes can go for such ridiculous amounts of money. I’m not sure quite where I stand, but I think all historic games should be at least backed up.
My personal peev is when I see folks on assembler or Digital Press trying to sell a protoype ROM for the same amount they bought the cart for, with no fundraiser option or preview as to what the cart is. To me, that’s the sign of a scammer.
Text and everything usual will be in Japanese. I’ll probably share the template so you could switch it out if you wanted though. I’d like a cart with whatever this website feels best, but I also wanted to create a Japanese style box, label (and manual if possible!) to go along with following the examples set by Galactic Pinball.
I might even give it a Japonesque name like ‘Galactic Pinball Zero’ 🙂
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 🙂
Forgot to say I’m making Japanese labels & box for this, the Flashboy and Bound High! if people are interested.
Been stupidly busy and have had to put them off but the template is pretty much together now.
