What's the most obscure console or game you own?
It's almost 2016 and retro games are the hottest shit since grunge.
Nothing is obscure and the more obscure it was then the bigger entitlement it gives you now.
>>2779561
a nes emulator
Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt
You probably haven't heard of it.
A NES-001
It's worth $13,000
>>2779604
Are you telling me that the NES-001 is rare and cost $13,000?
A mexican sell me that for only $100
Maybe the Wii U, nobody has that console and I think that in one future it will be so expensive.
A Nintendo 65. My dad saved one from when he worked at Nintendo.
>>2779565
Y-you made me cry, anon.... ;-;
a snes-playstation-prototype.
the wife loves it.
>>2779650
Why did you take it to Hong Kong you dingus
A NES-001 with Super Hornio Brothers
>>2779561
I'm the only one who played my penis if that counts.
Does this count?
>>2779740
That looks kind of cool, Anon.
>>2779561
Arcadia 2001
I have a Neogeo Pocket Color
>>2779565
people mostly know of the nintendo and sega consoles, as well as atari and sony. remember, a ton of companies tried to get into video games back then
Street Fighter 2 for Virtual Boy
>>2779561
Probably Zaku for Lynx or Total Carnage for Jaguar. Both were limited unlicensed runs. Neither system sounds obscure I'm sure, since e-celebs make memes about everything from pong to present, but I doubt most people have seen either in the wild.
>>2780014
That's no Zaku boy!
>>2780018
Don't worry, I've got one of those too.
Those nice folks in the Japanese PC gaming thread are always playing things nobody has heard of.
Does Pandemonium 2 count as obscure?
>>2779629
>Are you telling me that the NES-001 is rare and cost $13,000?
Well I wouldn't say it's worth near that much itself but you know who, how do I put this nicely, FUCKING RETARD nintendo fans can be
>>2779561
A prototype of an unreleased SNES game that has never had a dump released.
Probably my disc + case of Final Fantasy XI Beta for the Xbox 360, pretty rare here in France.
>>2780125
D-did you dump it?
>>2779561
Does special editions of otherwise well-known consoles count?
I have the pink Hello Kitty edition Dreamcast. Apparently only 1500 made.
The GD-Rom is slowly going funny though, it will no longer play Soul Calibur properly.
Probably my Pioneer GOL-1 Laseractive 3D goggles
>>2780173
He probably just means one of those repro protos like Lobo.
I own a copy of zakuro no aji for SNES. Dont ask me why I have it. The intro is beautiful btw
I have an EZF3 1gb that still works. Good saves and everything. I've had it for 10 years now.
Most all my games are pretty common. Still have Mario patient with a working mouse. Mega man legends 2 black label is pretty rare three days isn't it?
Few years back I found a Master System in my grandmas house, she had no idea where it even came from.. Not the rarest thing you could have but everything else I have is nintendo bullshit.
It's pretty cool. Rarest game I own is EVO.
I sometimes play Odd World on the original Xbox it's a cool one- pretty nostalgic
Probably the Atari XEGS.
It's usually not mentioned anywhere, even when talking about failed Atari systems.
Not a terrible console either. Just outdated (even for the time) hardware.
Not retro but I have an Ouya, found it at Goodwill.
As far as /vr/ goes though, I guess a Colecovision or Sega Nomad?
>>2780449
XEGS is just an Atari 8-bit computer in a console shaped case. You can see me discussing it in the "movie and tv" thread. It's no more powerful than an Atari 400 from 1983
>>2780549
I'm fully aware. It doesn't make for a bad console. Better than most computer to console conversions from that time. I'd even say better than the 5200.
well, I have a Sega Master System 2
or had, I'm not sure if I still own it
probably not too obscure or rare
>>2780581
lol yeah are you sure you haven't been reading my posts because i'm all the time talking about that too
xegs is what 5200 would have liked to be but it needed to be cheaper, earlier and it still wasn't cheap enough for people to have bothered porting to, then XEGS had the library native, better controllers but came too late. Also no Space Dungeon.
Computers, not Jag is the place to look at what good post-vcs Atari games were like and XEGS is a good gateway drug. I was dumb not to cherry pick all those XE carts I used to see all the time strung in with VCS just because I didn't have the console. Now consoles are pretty cheap but the games are getting piss expensive.
that's the life I chose as a console gamer I guess.
>>2780014
A name like zaku made me expect a very different kind of game.
MOST obscure? Probability my 3DO FZ-1. The best part is, I got it for free.
I guess my Macintosh Classic II? It seems nobody really considers compact Macs as a gaming platform, but there are some good ones on there.
>>2779561
I have the top loader NES. Don't know if it's rare, but most people I know have the original
>>2779740
So that's what SSJ1 Goku would look like if he were built for agility combat and not strength combat..
I will say some psx games that sell poorly here in Europe.
planning to get a Swan Crystal
>>2780117
for me a little it's hard to find if you coamper with pandemonium 1
Atari c-380 video pinball. No one knows what the fuck it is lmao
Probably my fm towns Marty
>>2779565
>It's almost 2016 and retro games are the hottest shit since grunge.
WTF? I'll grant that there's been an uptick in peopel buying retro games but the average person still dosen't give a shit and never will. COD Advanced Warfare or whatever is 1000x more popular than most retro games combined.
>>2780954
Eceleb shit gets posted daily on /vr/.
You're pretty fucking sheltered if you think retro games aren't selling like mad. Look at the MM remake. Plus all the pseudo retro indieshit games.
>>2780174
There's a pot that controls the power of the laser. Sometimes the vibrations from the disc spinning move the pot. You just need to adjust it back to where it was originally and it should be ok.
>>2779561
Wonderswan
CD-I 210
One of those PAL Turbografx-16s
Sharp MZ-700
I don't know how rare it is. But it seems to be relatively obscure.
Here's my PCFX in Box.
>>2779787
mfw I wanted that so bad when I was younger, but my dad didn't have enough money at the time it was being sold
Super Faceball 2000 for the gameboy.
It's a pretty good FPS game with true 3D gfx and support for 16 person multiplayer.
It's fun and it pushes the GB hardware to the max, like a playable demoscene.
But I never see it mentioned, ever.
>>2780989
That's fucking sick
i got a fake nes when i was little, it got 42 full nes games(most of them are from the beggining, mario bros, super mario, ballon fight, etc) and i think it can load games too but i dont have any to test it
The thing is i didn't know it wasn't a real nes until some years ago when i found it again
I own a Gemini, which plays Atari games. Many gamers and retro gamers I talk to in person don't seem to know about it, so it's obscure enough I suppose.
>>2779650
did it save the marriage?
>>2779679
did you beat it?
i've heard that's a hard game to beat
The Tempest MPT-03
A Pal version/knockoff of the Emmerson Arcadia. almost have a full library for it too
>>2781289
>paddle+joystick in one
Efficient.
>>2781296
Nah I keep getting bored after about ten minutes.
I think Bubble Bobble 2 is probably the most "rare" game I own.
None of my shit is really obscure. I have a handful of jap ps2 games
>>2779561
cosmo gang the puzzle SFC
I had the possibility to get me a Phillips odyssey (same as magnavox but for the european market) belonging to my ex's mother but in the end I didn't get anything
If you're looking for a copy, don't spend over $10 on it. Rare=/=Quality
>>2781779
>>2781780
wrong thread, meant for >>2781723
Shadown and Shadow (PS1)
Nijuubako (PC)
Nijuubako is even limited edition. For just 1000 yen.
>>2780957
>cites one game from one of the most popular franchises ever and a bunch of modern games basically just borrowing an aesthetic
oh yeah retro gaming is the biggest thing ever forsure
>>2779561
Had an Apple Pippin for a while but just didn't have space after marriage. Now my rarest would be Virtual Boy, which sits nicely on my shelf or I'd have sold it long ago.
>>2779650
Who has room to store discs AND carts!? Chuck that SNES-CD in a dumpster and get yourself a Retron 5.
A bunch of classes Mac games, since you really can't buy them anywhere anymore, unless someone puts them on eBay. Gridz, Battle-girl, Bonkheads...
>>2779561
That's hard to say. My top 5 would probably be:
Fairchild Channel F
Bally Astrocade
Emerson Arcadia 2001
Timex Sinclair 2068
Tandy CoCo
>>2779590
I have 8 copies.
>>2779561
Probably my Lynx. Still works I think, but it was always a pain to use (if you run it off of AC you have to hold it perfectly still in a specific position or it loses power). I'd honestly rather emulate.
>>2779561
Tomba for the ps1
>>2779561
I have an Atari Lynx, its probably the rarest thing I have...
>>2779561
One of the first famiclones that looks like atari 2600.
There's a cartridge neo geo in storage.
The joystick leans to one side so I put it in storage and switched to emulators.
Nobody has an RCA Studio II? I would love to show this thing to those who continually rag on the 2600, as it shows just how much of a leap forward the 2600 really was (their heads would explode after seeing Studio II "gameplay").
>>2781289
I also own one but my customer sticker is in French bring the value up to $4000
>>2780681
That's a Gouf, not a Zaku
>>2782231
don't copies exist somewhere on the net?
>>2781336
my experience with those is poor though. I had a Sears Video Arcade II which did combination joystick/paddles, and it worked like shit because the mechanics were too complicated (granted this was a joystick that was also a paddle, not two separate devices, so that's not surprising).
The bigger issue is that it used special wiring for paddle games, so you couldn't use standard paddles. Unless you have four of the unique joystick/paddle combo units, you won't be able to play Warlords or Pong Sports correctly, which to me is half of why I own a 2600.
>>2781148
It's my dream to actually get a 16-player FB2k setup working, I don't think any evidence of this feature actually working exists anywhere on the net.
I considered using crowdfunding to get the money to buy all the equipment needed (16 fb2k, 16 game boys, 15 link cables, and 7 4-player adapters, plus batteries or AC adapters isn't cheap). Then it could be a miniature event of sorts. I have a number of ideas for what to do with such an event but lack the drive to really put it into the real.
>>2780863
Pretty
I only have a regular and color, they are my main impetus for learning Japanese at the moment. Once I finish reading tae kim's grammar guide I'm going to fire up hataraku chocobo and see how far I get, using a dictionary and frequent references back to the grammar guide as my tools.
>>2780681
That's no Zaku boy
I own Pit Fighter on Mega Drive. The cartridge doesn't work.
Is that rare enough for you, OP?
>>2779604
You got the NES 001? That's the first Nintendo DS ever made!
I've got PAL copies of Ufouria (Hebereke) and Zero The Kamikaze Squirrel. Both borderline rare games I've just picked up at random thrift stores, and pretty good games to boot. Never had much luck with super rare games.
>>2784284
>I need crowdfunding to pull together like $500
>>2779561
>most obscure
>no one posts a vectrex
Pic related faggots!
>>2780863
I've got one of these. Paid like dollar and when I got it, the thing had battery acid leaked all over the battery compartment (either that or the previous owner had jerked off inside the console.) But once I cleaned it up it works perfect.
The only game I've got is Gunpey. Don't really know if the thing has any exclusives worth digging around for.
>>2784240
I have one. I regularly tell stories about it in "your first video console" threads. Not super rare or obscure though.
>>2784371
I have one of these too but it's not as rare as my Laseractive goggles.
>>2784383
Pics or it didn't happen. Those goggles are like $1500
Monochrome NeoGeo Pocket.
>>2779650
Where did this "Retron wife" bullshit come from?
>>2780721
I have one I keep in the original box because my front loader runs all of my games first time every time.
>>2782171
OP said rare, not expensive. this was a fucking clearance bin title for YEARS.
bangai-O for N64 I guess.
it's the original version of the game, but most people only played the Dreamcast version.
The N64 one also had a limited print run of 10k copies, but it still isn't as expensive as you'd think, you can probably find a copy for less than 100 bucks.
Being poor, we had to sell everything before buying a new thing.
So the only old obscure platform I have is a purple see-through gameboy colour.
Whenever I'm feeling horny I just turn it on and coom at that delicious boot-sound

NO.
>>2784386
>>2780960
I've tried that, without good results. The symptoms are strange; to begin with it still plays CD-Rs of most games fine, also the problems it exhibits in Soul Calibur is that the laser sled will waggle back and forth as if it can't get smack on center or something when it's playing the music tracks. Some tracks will have more intense waggling (larger amplitude) than others. It's the music tracks specifically that are the problem.
It plays CDs just fine though. And most games that don't use redbook audio (unless I'm wrong and Soul Calibur uses something else) work fine.
Crackout for NES.
That's my rarest.
So rare that TheCoverProject haven't heard of it, and I had to create a cover for it from scratch.
This.
>>2779561
PC engine duo rx.
New in box
>>2787183
omg it's nintendo playstation
>>2787183
Kek
I almost bought one of these before I knew how bad NOACs were.
An MSX2
>>2784364
plus more for event space, catering, and not ending up that weird guy who sets up 16-player on a random old game but is all alone.
