Not really as obscure as most items on here, but I finally was able to get a Satellaview. It was a satellite modem for the Super Famicom, which allowed for game broadcasts, magazine downloads, and other such things through the now defunct ST GIGA service. Supposedly there were over 100,000 sold but there was also a buyback after the service ended so the true number of units still out there is unkown, but it’s a pretty neat item nonetheless.

This guy is the Game Wave Entertainment System, made by Canadian company Zap-IT! Games in 2005 and cancelled in 2009. About 13 games came out for it and was also a DVD player. I have two, this one doesn’t have a working DVD drive and a boxed one.

Nope! I would never use isopropyl on the visor, I’ve learned that isopropyl isn’t exactly the nicest to materials. I’m just using it on the unit itself.
