RickR has a modern console for once. I picked up a used 3ds today. I'll admit, the purple color was a selling point.

A Pheonix update from Facebook:
CollectorVision Phoenix Production Update:We have some bad news and some good news.First the bad:We thought the new revision of the board was ready to go into production. Unfortunately, when we got the samples in we noticed a previously reported issue but one that we had not been able to reproduce.A few of the first production run customers had an issue with the roller controller where the character would unexpectedly warp around the screen. We had previously not been able to reproduce this issue ourselves. When testing the roller controller with the new boards we saw this same issue. We went back and tested the previous production boards and it appeared as well. So it seems it is related to something in the roller controller hardware or power.This is something we need to get fixed before we can run the production boards. This unfortunately is going to push the shipping date back. We are doing all we can to get this fixed as soon as possible, but I don't want to really speculate on a date until production has started as that is when we will have a much better idea of the delivery date. We are still hoping to get it done by first quarter 2021.The good news is that we have a plan to resolve the issue and are currently working on fixing it. Once we have a fix for the new boards, we should be able to make an adapter board that could be used for the first production run to resolve the issue on the old boards.I hate that this is getting pushed back and really wanted to get this shipped before the end of the year, but I don't want to ship it out with this controller issue.Thank you all for your patience

A helpful hint for those of you who got the Ebay 25th Anniversary code: AtariAge has an ebay store front.

I just wanted to share an overhead photo of my home. It's finally been updated to show the solar panels we had installed last summer! Sun-powered retro gaming.

Update on my Subaru project: The sunroof leak is FIXED. It took a lot of time and trial/error. That green towel in the back is dry as a bone after spraying a hose on the top of the car for a while. On to the next issue.

I just got back from a trip to Houston, and my airbnb had this relic of a microwave! It still worked fine, and made a satisfying "ding" when it was done heating.

This isn't my auction, but boy what a great deal. PC Engine + ever drive for $175 and free shipping. Just in case anyone here is looking for one.

The eternal struggle: I have a job to buy videogames, but don't have time to play video games due to job.
