Awesome stuff you've just bought (+pics please)

[dingsbums]

Finally we can enjoy our coffee in style .

[ZOM]

Wait... is that Fray!!? WHERE DO I GET ONE OF THOSE? Are there other Xak mugs?

[dingsbums]

You can get them by forum member Red5 (he's not very active here but on ArcadeOtaku were I ordered mine)
You can provide whatever Artwork you want (in my case - Fray )

[ZOM]

Oh, I didn''t know he can print such stuff. Thanks for the info

[dingsbums]

Yeah - I would have linked you his sales thread but it's required that you are a member at ArcadeOtaku to see the sales threads.
That Fray picture is a scan from the backside of the manual.

probably the best local find i'll ever stumble across! works like new. beautiful bright screen, and the joystick is nice and springy, too! completely enamoured with it, there's nothing else quite like it.

Vectrex Jealousy!

(Great find dude! )

Pick up a Sean Kelly Vectrex multi-cart is the way to go if you don't have any Vectrex game carts. Good to hear that the Vectrex control panel has springy contacts...I bought mine with some very used springs (one ended up snapping). Had to resort to buying a brand new Vectrex control panel back in 2000 just to make up for it. They are quite HTF nowdays in new condition given it's intial debut back in 1982.

Only if GCE had released a color vector version of it's beloved Vectrex console before the Great Video Game Crash of 1983-84 happened but it wasn't meant to be. A prototype color Vectrex console still does exist and was shown at a past Classic Gaming Expo event with some former GCE employees. GCE found out that it would've had to sell such color Vectrex units at a MSRP of $500.00 USD back in the early 1980s to justify recouping the high costs of producing them and wisely decided not to release it to the general public.

Some of John Donzilla's homebrew Vectrex carts, especially Wormhole, (aka Gyruss) is quite amazing in terms of sheer framerate speed (much faster than ol' GCE games produced from the '82-'83 era) & overall aestethics.

yeah, i'm looking to pick up some homebrews - Protector+YASI, Trackers, and a few others caught my eye in particular. aside from that i'll definitely be tracking down the multi-cart :]

Would be a nice sampling, but w/o the overlays, I think you are missing a big part of the experience

Somehow after Machete I decided to finally buy this. Had only watched it once 3 years ago. But this edition doesn't seem to be THAT limited...

Dat coverart!

[Almighty]

yeah

Only the game is very easy

[dunpeal2064]

yeah

Only the game is very easy

No difficulty setting either? This is one I have been debating for quite a while. Visually it looks great, but its also quite pricey!

[Skykid]

The game is a little flat because it's long but not too tough. Music's awesome though.

[ryu]

got a nice sony pvm 2730

[ChainsawGuitarSP]

yeah

It could have been worse. You could have gotten Verytex instead.

[dunpeal2064]

Nice! Looks pretty sweet.

Also, fantastic choice in game. I need to give the first Lunar another playthrough. Maybe I'll go through the psp version, since I haven't tried it yet. Ha ha

:bow Dat PVM :bow

I have a 27 inch PVM but it's having a few issues - i need to think about getting it a buddy.

[Skykid]

Nice gets there Almighty. One recommendation: Famicom DD2: TR is superior to the MD one for my money, and a very different game. One of the best console DD's imo, grab it if you get the chance.

[dcharlie]

almighty - i have quite a large FC collection that's up for grabs I'm slowing down a bit whilst home life settles back down, but have a peek :
