RickR Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Here we go. From Rowsdower. Three handheld games (have I mentioned I'm a sucker for these?) And the cool hat. And a game I haven't opened yet. Armor Battle needed a clean. Works great! Did I mention the Mattel handhelds are my favorites? Missing the battery cover, but RickR does not care. A working game = smiling RickR. Pac Man 2 - needed some cleaning, and the controls didn't quite work. Repaired that with some soapy water and electrical contact cleaner. It's actually a lot of fun with an elaborate maze. For the two game, player 2 controls the ghosts! How cool is that? I'll tell you what, playing the 2 player game with only 1 player == the easiest time clearing the maze I've ever had! Take that "Blinky" -- if that's even your real name. Dracula - needed the power switch cleaned up, but works great now. It was hard to take apart because it needed a special screwdriver. Found the right one if my magical toolbox. Once you take it apart...there were springs and even a ball bearing to carefully keep track of inside. This game is totally cool. It has multi-color graphics and some really nice sound. Rowsdower says it has more than one screen...but it's so dang difficult, I can't get by the first screen! And check out the "magnified" screen. It must have the evil power of Dracula...because my camera can't focus on it. It's really just a piece of clear film kind of bent into a parabola shape. But cool. Very cool. The battery cover is cracked. Rowsdower temporarily repaired that with a sticker. I think I'll leave that as-is. Otherwise, my fingers will end up glued to something. THANK YOU!

RickR Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Here's what I got in trade from Rowsdower70. It's a long story. My PS2 died. So I contacted Rowsdower, who nicely arranged this trade. And then while the fat PS2 was on the way to me, I found the slim at a thrift store for $15! So now I have two. Father and son. Rowsdower is a lifesaver, and he brings good luck! And Magic cards.

Awesome I love hearing stories like that, good on you Rowsdower70 I also have that combo, a slim and a original "phat" PS2, I am incredibly impressed with the slim but there is just something about the original even if it is just nostalgia, though not my original I associate my mother (who passed a few years ago too young) back when the original came out, I was living on my own and I had a birthday coming up, I knew it was a bit much to ask but I really sold her on the idea of how it would be so great because it was the awesome new game console from SONY and it could even double as a DVD player! Well, she swung it and got it for my birthday and I had so many amazing gaming experiences on it but the circumstances on how I got it mean much more to me these days.
