Honestly I’ve only had it a few years, found it on a flea market table for like $10 and it looked clean enough I figured it worked so I grabbed it (and it does.)

The Tigers, everything you see there, all have been picked up in the last 5 years about. I did have Castlevania, Karnov, MM2, and Baseball back in the day for Tiger. I had the tomytronic pac-man too, and a friend in the early 90s gave me his DK unit which was battered but ran. I also had the Mattel Hockey from an 80s neighborhood garage sale too.

Game & Watch I only really got into about 20 years ago, same with the rest since. I just like grabbing the things when I can as they usually are dirt cheap today as no one seems to like VFD and LCD games. I’ve had more Tigers but sold about 5-10 of them in the last year.

See now if someone made an affordable adapter for another existing controller I’d be on board with that. It could be a bit weird but I do think you’re onto something with the SNES style jack except it’s 2 buttons short.

With the d-pad, B, A, L, R and Select with Start that adds up to 10. Maybe a wired Nintendo Wii Classic controller or as annoying as it could be a non-analog original Playstation Controller. The PS1 controller you use the face buttons for d-pad #2, top buttons would be your BALR. The Wii Pro Controller that’s wired also has the same array.

If you have the tool for it and this would be precision a bit, but do not cut the VB itself, destroy of sorts the screw.

Get a fine bit and drill out the center of it as much as you can, then find something to put into that hole, like an even narrower screw or some other kind of catch and twist it out that way.

I’ve got a couple ideas.

I have a Pin-Bot machine, but what’s unique about it is that it is home use only.

Also I have this piece of dawn of the SNES hanging marketing display sign (personal favorite so I sought it out years ago.)

I did have that Sharp NES TV you saw earlier in the thread up until a few years back, sold it off since it was becoming a burden and it was complete (legs, doors, remote, 2 controllers) too.

I do have some really obscure stuff though, but not gaming related. One thing is a toy set from a company that only lasted a few years like 50 years ago and it’s still in the box, minor damage to the toys, been notified it’s worth around $2K (and I picked it up for $10 at a goodwill which amazes me.)

In the spirit of this thread I have a few things I can offer up.

This is just a selection. Image #2 I don’t have Q-Bert anymore. Image 4 got rid of Football. The two coleco’s also have a perma power pack for them too and DK has a manual.

Everything else I do. But I also have far more not seen.

DK Jr Coleco Tabletop
Super Mario Bros Game & Watch
Legend of Zelda Nelsonic Watch
Pac-Man tomytronic tabletop
Club Nintendo G&W Ball CIB
Mattel Electronics Hockey
Tiger Electronics – VRTX Sega Daytona USA
Tiger Electronics – Mega Man 2
Tiger Electronics – Sub Wars
Tiger Electronics – Star Wars Imperial Assault (new)

There’s more modern stuff like a few of those Basic Fun VFD/NOAC LCD games, all 8 of the Tiny Arcade devices, the 10″ Data East mini mame cab. And a atgames/coleco rebranded 30 game Master System/Game Gear handheld.

That’s mostly it not going down the road of clone console handhelds or legit stuff.

I’ve been following that Works series since it started off a good while back and was happy to see the VB pop up finally as that was unexpected.

I finally own one again after so long so it’s pretty amusing timing to me. It’s amusing as the first 2 titles he went with are 2 of the 3 I currently have, the other being Mario Clash.

The only thing that bugs me so far with this stuff he’s working on, it’s somewhat lacking on the back story about the games really compared to the pretty good sleuthing he has been forced to do with the Japanese/US Gameboy releases and the NES/Famicom too. Maybe there just isn’t that much out there to say since the thing died sadly pretty quickly.

I PM’d you I’ll be needing your services. Thanks in advance.

I just found one at a Goodwill today that’s mostly working, will have to get the solder fix as the left eye is out.

It was a former blockbuster rental, took me hour to de-funk the stickers off the system, games, ac adapter, battery box too.

I know my account is new here, been wanting to make one for years but didn’t see the point until now. I got a partly broken VB today, left eye is out, but otherwise working minus the lack of a stand for it. The up side, came with the ac adapter module and 3 games and relatively cheap no less.

I’ll get someone to take it in and do the solder fix so it doesn’t totally die out as it works otherwise.

Because of that I’ve had an interest in this SF2 clone for years and I’d be interested in knowing what the price would be and when general availability will be as I’d be down for a single cart only copy, not really into boxes and all that.

Thanks.
