jmjustin6 2,215 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Oh also i have been told the snes power brick works for this? Is this true? Edited June 2, 2017 by jmjustin6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RickR 15,082 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Oh also i have been told the snes power brick works for this? Is this true? Yes, but I think it needs a special little box thing for the end of the cord that fits into the battery compartment. I think they call it a "power pack". That's a great find. Virtual Boy has a terrible reputation, but I think it's a really cool system. The 3D effect is legit. The controller is awesome. And the games are great. Mario Clash is great. My favorite VB game is "Nestor's Funky Bowling". jmjustin6 and Starbuck66 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmjustin6 2,215 Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 So i came across this on Craigslist. Guy said he couldn't get it to work. So he gave it to me for free. He says it turns on but no picture on the screen. He was using a Sega Genesis RF cable so maybe that the problem. Ill try to get it to work RickR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmjustin6 2,215 Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Ok so update. It works. The games were just really dirty and needed a good scrub on the contacts. Woo hoo now i have an intellivision. I am now up to 24 different game systems Edited July 2, 2017 by jmjustin6 Starbuck66 and RickR 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmjustin6 2,215 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Has anyone ever seen one of these? The guy is only about 10 min from me so might be worth it to go look at it? https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/fuo/6230756814.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be cool to have, as it looks nice. Hopefully, the price is negotiable. And hopefully, Atari carts fit in those dividers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LeeJ07 966 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 No, apparently according to the Atari Age group on Facebook, that is not custom. https://www.facebook.com/groups/atariage/permalink/10155289914535255/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmjustin6 2,215 Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 So i was board at work today. So i thought id look on Craigslist. Found this awesome Wii U Mario Maker bundle all nice and boxed up. Great Price and only 15 min down the road. It had been up for about 3 hours and luckily i was the first to respond and he said he would wait till i got off work. So anyway i paid $150 for this thing and i am sooo happy i finally have a Wii U and its BOXED!! Now all i need is smash bros and breath of the wild and ill be set LeeJ07, RickR and Starbuck66 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeeJ07 966 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 That's a beautiful Wii U. jmjustin6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RickR 15,082 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 3 various Atari 2600 consoles and a sack of probably 30 games. The Gemini works fine The woody has no RF cable. Most likely broken, but too tired to test further. The Video Arcade 2 uses a different power adapter, and I'm too tired now to go find one. Pretty cool stuff, and some potential projects! jmjustin6, Ballblaɀer, Arenafoot and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmjustin6 2,215 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I knew if i kept looking i would find smash bros (wii u) for a good deal. I got all 3 games for $30 LeeJ07, Kid A, Starbuck66 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
