For all old school nerds. A classic prototype find.

Hi all, I usually don't post here too much as most of the talk is on newer systems and games, but after seeing Twikoffs quiz thread I'd though I'd post info about a great find I made last weekend. It may not mean much to you youngins but for us old farts it's pretty darn exciting. Here is the link:

Long live the classics. Cheers all.

priceless. Unlike the 'coolectible' crap being peddled everywhere these days, stuff like that is truly rare, almost one-of-a-kind. (i.e., it's not a beanie baby--who got stuck holding those???--or, for old-schoolers, a Cabbage Patch Kid.)

Nope, it was released in Europe under a different name though. Here is some more info for those who are interested.

Ok, that didn't quite work the way I wanted. To get to the O3 info scroll down on the left to the Videopac section. Below that you will find articles on this unit.

Cheers all.

I didn't think it was. Indeed, this is a great find. The best I ever did at a thrift store was a Colecovision that was in pretty bad shape. Oh and I did find a "wood-panelled" Atari 2600 in great shape at a yard sale.
