Nothing rare, but I scored a sealed Robot Tank for $11.99.

This is fantastic! 
I found an old portable TV at e-waste and decided it needed a makeover. Why not turn it into a Commodore SX-64? This was a fun project that included adding a composite mod, fixing a self-induced problem, and loads of cutting, painting, 3D printing, and more.
 

Portable gaming means being able to play in the car (while parked, NOT driving 🙂 )

Tired after a drive to Oklahoma City. Tried playing some Moon Patrol and I just don't have it tonight. 5840. Terrible. Lol. Love the Pocket too. I'll do better the next time. It's not the last time I'll play this, played it on the EXP a few months ago, and made it through like 5 levels

And SOLD!

On this episode of #NoFilterHD, I play #Frenzy7800, which is a #port by #BobDecrescenzo for the #Atari7800! This is a port of the 1982 sequel to #Berzerk, which is a classic #Arcade #game! Playing it here on the #AtariVCS on #launcheday (the game was originally released back in 2013). What do you think? I play the game, chat a bit & give my feedback on this double dose of #Berzerk & #Frenzy action!

Most importantly, no joysticks were broken in this endeavor.
I'm most impressed with @Marco1019's > 100k score.  That is incredible.  And I learned a bit from watching his video.
