Can't say I have, but my first DVD player (Toshiba) was equipped with Nuon capability. At the time I had no idea that meant, or what it did, other than it may add interesting content to future DVD releases... and that the term "Nuon" sounded really cool.

Judging by the amount of Nuon games available, do you really want to drop your hard earned $$$ into this? (Didn't do a search on eBay to see how expensive/inexpensive games are.)

Of course if you have some disposable income just lying around...

I considered getting one back in the day, but now having sampled the Xbox 360 visualizer as well as Space Giraffe, I'm kind of glad I didn't...

Are the discs/games worth anything these days?

I never had a player, but I bought the Merlin Racing and Space Invaders games because they were on clearance for super-cheap and I wanted their gold keepcases for some Star Wars bootlegs I had.

I've been meaning to sell them, but I've just never gotten around to it. But perhaps the time is now right. . .

An auction I was watching of a player and 5 games shot up to over $200 by the end. I was thinking it would go for $75 or less, guess I underestimated the market.

It was just going to be a fun gadget to pull out of the closet twice a year, not worth the $ for now. But I'll keep an eye out.

I'm a sucker for dead technology.

All the Nuon games were either awful or ports or both. Tempest 3000 is the only thing I could see people still wanting, and that's only if you're a Minter completest.

I have two Nuon DVD players and all the games except for Tetris. If you're an Atari Jaguar fan you'll enjoy it. Tempest 3000 is the best game. Iron Soldier 3 is also good, but hard to find and expensive.

I had a toshiba dvd player which also had nuon capability. I looked at the small selection of the nuon games/controllers at best buy couple years back. From what I remember, the controllers were around $30 retail. So I never really looked too much into it, lol.

I still have my original Toshiba Nuon player. It works great. I never actually tried any games on it.
