What's the most obscure console you own, /v/?
Feel free to post some retarded handheld your parents bought for you instead of a Gameboy, or some Japan-only import you got on ebay for $300
![vectrex[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/uYGpTGF.jpg "vectrex[1].jpg")
I have a vectrex, not sure if it's rare or obscure. My dad won it by playing poker with his drunk friend and gave it to me
No extra gaems tho
![Wonderswan_color-JD[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/fRhtm1I.jpg "Wonderswan_color-JD[1].jpg")
I have a couple of Wonderswans and a Wonderswan Color.
Very cute console. Amazing battery life and a nice selection of games (assuming that you are a raging weeaboo).
Would recommend. Muscling my way through a food-themed Pokemon-like was a blast.

that looks cool as shit, wish my dad had any of his old vidya systems
Does anyone own a Magnavox Oddysey?
>>335701464
It's pretty dope. Comes built in with some space game, controls are tight and each level is different and harder than the previous. You can even play two players
I have a consolized Neo Geo MVS, which is basically an arcade PCB with a shell and outputs for TV use. Not as fancy as AES, but the price difference is enormous(Metal Slug 1 is ~$50-70 on MVS but thousands on AES)
Also a Neo Geo Pocket Color, which is an incredibly underrated handheld. Unfortunately games are getting expensive and it has no backlight, but that clicky control nub is one of the best around for any handheld system.

Me too nigga. Here is my small collection of Euro verisions of the games which came in clamshell cases.
>>335702589
>all that capeshit
Well, nobody's perfect.
>>335702241
I wish I could find one for a decent price. I wouldn't mind getting ripped off gently either. I just want to feel that clicky nub again.I masturbated to that feeling once.
>>335700689
Watching Tokyo Encounter has made me want a neo geo. Some of those games look really fun.
Anyone have one of these? never seen them even at retro stores
still have this gem from back in christmas '99
I have a mint one of these in my living room. Does this count?

sexy as fuck. if i had a piece like this in my living room i would invite people over all the time.

Okay...
>>335705823
Hell yeah man. Definitely has been the case. Drinking a few beers and playing an arcade cab in your house is an experience of its own
>>335700689
I want a TurboGrafx but at the moment the most obscure I have is probably just the Sega CD
Unless you count the Nomad.
>>335700689
PS2s are really common, but this particular PS2 isn't
It doesn't do anything special, but I found it for $20 at an antique furniture store and couldn't pass it up.
>>335706062
I wish my cat could play Bust-a-Move
>>335706062
i miss my cat ;____;
but awesome cabinet friend. would definitely get drunk and play that puzzle game withya

But PlayStation became furniture starting with PS3.

I literally use a broken PS2 fat boy as a stand for my monitor with a broken stand.
>>335707452
you can sell ps2s for parts btw, if you're looking to make a quick buck.

God damn, that's nice dude. I've been looking for a 4 slot MVS locally for 2 years now, I wanna get Metal Slug X, Neo Turf Masters, Real Bout Fatal Fury Special and Top Hunter.
>>335701298

WHAT
The saturn I guess? I don't really have any obscure systems.
>>335701298
>a food-themed Pokemon-like
I am like 95% sure I saw a show on fox kids like that
>>335702521
Did your dad go on business trips to Japan?
>>335708583
Saturns are fairly obscure in america, i mean that system got utterly demolished by the psx and n64

it's such a perfect monitor holder, though with the protruding lip, and flat side.

Its so obscure, that even the company making it forgot about it!
>>335708814
I guess but I just figured OP meant something more like, well, everything else in this thread.
For whatever it's worth literally everything I ownbesides Nights into dreamsis a JP copy anyway. Trying to buy US on that just isn't worth it unless you're a collector.
>>335708814
I didn't even know the Saturn existed during it's lifespan, and I was a Genesis kid. I never knew anyone who had one. I got one a few years ago as an adult.
>>335709174
i forgot about how much cheaper the Jap copies are. Maybe i should actually try to get some of the saturn games i missed, mine has been sitting in the closet for 15 years
>>335709969
As long as you modchip it or get an action replay (~$30 I think?) you're set
>>335701041
>I have a vectrex, not sure if it's rare or obscure
obscure, no. rare? absolutely. there are few of them left
>>335702521
holy fuck i always wanted one of those as a kid
did it even do anything else besides be a gamecube that looks cool and be able to take full-size dvds?
>>335706062
Fuck I'm so jelly
>>335700689
My Dad bought a CD-I the day it came out for some God forsaken reason.
>>335706558
nice. i bought one used after my original slim's laser died on me
was only $20 as well
I know it's not much of a rarity, but this baby right here. Since it's JP only, I only have two games, but fuck are they worth their salt.
Too bad Saturn games now are expensive as hell, the games I want, I mean.
I got a Sega Game Gear, that's it really. I've never seen one before here in Europe but they're not THAT rare.
>>335708686
I remember that too. Not sure of the name though.
>>335710770
i really like the design of jp saturn even tho it looks like a children's toy
>>335700689
Atari Jaguar or TurboGrafx 16.

The controller will always be god tier for me, regardless the colour.

>Unfortunately games are getting expensive and it has no backlight
I want to get one, but both of those things are stopping me.
>>335709174
this
other than the really, really cheap stuff like the Sega arcade ports, buying US isn't really that good an idea with the Saturn, all of the particularly wanted games that came out over here are expensive
even some of the cheaper good US releases like Galactic Attack are getting more expensive now
kind of wish I had the money for Burning Rangers US though, not knowing what they're saying is a pain because of the nav system
Atari Lynx
I work at a local video game store and we've seen our fair share of obscure and rare consoles. Currently we've got an Intellivision, Sega Master System, NeoGeo Gold, and Sega CD system.
>>335702241
I have a camo blue NGPC somewhere in my house.
The click stick is godly, how no one has ripped it off for future handhelds and controllers is baffling.
Not that obscure, but I'm a huge fan of the Sega Saturn. I also have a Virtual Boy and a Sega CD. Most of my retro stuff in concentrated in my SNES collection, though.
I have the Neo Geo my dad got me when I was 6 and I have his old Commodore64 that he used to teach me computers.
>>335700689
I used to collect Game and Watch systems, but I had to sell a bunch last year...
Still use my dualscreen Mario Bros as an alarm though. It's held up surprisingly well.
>>335701041
Functional ones are rare, and sell for good money. Good luck finding any games for it, though.
>>335718542
>kind of wish I had the money for Burning Rangers US though
I've played it US because I straight up said "okay I need to know what they're saying, this is important enough I'll go the extra mile on it."
Honestly don't remember the instructions ever being super helpful with navigating, but then I wasn't really big on the game all that much to start. At least I sold it for more than I paid so that was nice.
I've got some gameboy micros.
For the longest time, I wanted one to actually play GBA games on. Now that I have a box of them, PAL GBA games cost half as much as the system itself.
Fucking disgusting, man. I remember a time when I could pick up SNES games for like 5-20 dollars, but those games now cost anywhere from 60 to 100, and it's the same for the good GBA titles.
>>335722745
gameboy micro is beautiful
>>335723306
Too bad I'd have to sell 4 out of the 5 if I wanted like 8 games for it.
Maybe there are some local flea markets or something that has GBA games.

>Fucking disgusting, man. I remember a time when I could pick up SNES games for like 5-20 dollars, but those games now cost anywhere from 60 to 100, and it's the same for the good GBA titles.
there's a reason I just buy flash carts for anything that isn't currently on the market (ie. will get patched to make them not work)
I have an Atari XEGS. I heards those things arent common in USA.
I have this thing
have a sega saturn JP
i'm considering selling it to my local retro store tho because i can't buy games for it without putting down a lot of money
>>335700689
My brother has this with Metal Slug 2, Last Blade 2, Samurai Showdown (dunno which), Blazing Star, and a King of Fighters game.
He also bought the Japanese Super Famicom with a bunch of Dragon Ball Z fighters and maybe KOF game.
>>335726207
Too bad Saturn emulation is ass.
I've got a Saturn modded to play burned games. My copies of Dragon Force, Dark Savior, and Panzer Dragoon Saga all became pretty unreliable for loading a couple years back, and I'll be fucked if I'm paying the $800-$1000 it'd cost to get guaranteed working copies of all three, let alone what it'd have cost me to get a library of games I never got when the Saturn came out, like Shining Force III.
