    Umm... I've only got a DC, N64, & Coleco, but there's a Vectrex in the house with a multicart plugged into it that's practically mine
    And there's a Pac Man arcade in the other room, but that doesn't really count

    It's a console system designed for the girl ! You can play some (crappy) games but what makes it cool is the fact that there is a printer in it.

    my dad has a boxed atari 2600 4 switch wood grain with all inserts, and the dustcover.
    Somebody once told me to get a life.

    I told them I sold it for money to buy video games.

    Hey! I got my top loader at Funco too! I always tell people who want one to ask them and be patient. (That and hope you have employees there who will actually check rather than just going to the back room and coming back out with out doing a damn thing!) I got mine the frist time I asked. Whoo hoo!

    Other than that, Virtual Boy is about it.

    My rarest system would have to be my APF-M1000/Imagination Machine combo, complete with all power cords, Basic cartridge and "J" connector ...found bagged at a Goodwill for $9.99 and almost passed over until I wondered, "Why would they bag a typewriter?"

    I've been looking for a Imagination Machine for a long time. I got the Basic cartridge years ago, but with the IM it's useless. What is this "J" connector?

    BTW have you tried your M1000 on a large TV? I found that mine won't work on anything bigger than a 16" TV.

    The "J" connector (my term) is what connects the M1000 to the IM. The short end goes into the M1000 as it sits on the IM, the long end goes into the first of the 2 cartridge slots on the IM. Then carts can be played through the 2nd slot on the IM. Viewed from the side, it literally looks like a block letter capital "J".

    And I'm pretty sure I had it hooked up to a 19" TV at one point.

    You know I'm lame when I'm thinking I should do some research into my inventory to answer this question.

    Perhaps it's my Adventurevision.
    Perhaps my Bandai Arcadia complete in box.
    Or maybe my Haminex Ramses (Creativision clone.)
    I do have a Super Cassette Vision Lady in the mail. She's a beauty.

    Too bad only Slapdash will recognize all 4 of those. I think my goal in collecting is strictly to make Russ Perry jealous. How's it going Russ?

    And let me state, for the record, that there is nothing lame about claiming your NES or Wonderswan are your rarest items. At least you have fun systems! Most of this crap I dig collecting are not for play- just for looks. I definitely would be just as well off if I was just sitting here with an NES and 10 choice carts. I'd probably be having more fun playing them than I would struggling to pay for rare systems I won't play.

    Heh, well, you've only got me on 3 of the 4, as I at least have the SCV Lady already. I might have gotten a Bandai Arcadia, but the cost would have been exorbitant.

    Well, my rarest Console must be Intervision 2001 ( An Emerson Arcadia Clone ), or Sheen 2001 ( Same thing ) or maybe it is C64 Aussie version.
