LOL I must have mixed up VCR and VCS

Gee I feel silly now. Your mystery console wasn't that mysterious at all. Notice the Aquarius writing on the cassete? I just decided to google it, and found this

It's the Mattel Aquarius home computer. That page even has the same pictures you used. I never, ever saw or used one of these before. I was using an IBM XT clone running DOS back then.

Oh haha my bad. I thought you specifically meant what console/system played these games. There were quite a few computer systems that used cassette storage, including the Commodore 64. Back in the old days, I used to read the instruction manuals on computer games front to back, and I always read something about the LOAD command for the C64. It had a cassette drive as an I/O medium.

The thing is, I never knew anyone with a Commodore back then, let alone use one. I only decided to google it since I'm also curious about which cassette system you are looking for. Could this be it?

craziness!

USD1.5k and still 12 hours to go...

Shouldn't be as new TV can handle legacy format. Only the games either region locked (software) or cart dimension cannot fit (hardware).

Have to look around of course. Hopefully it's still in circulation.

Brrrrrr. Bro, you're talking about the Philips CD-i. The console that managed to make a Zelda game horrible. Just in case you're not familiar, there's a licensed Legend of Zelda game called Link the Faces of Evil. Try looking it up. That game more or less sums up the issues with the CD-i

Yeah back when the console crowd kept using "bits" as a measure of power. When the first Xbox came out, it was "only" running an Intel x86 architecture, with a 32-bit processor. Predictably, the PS2 diehards were like lololol Xbox suk only 32 bits lolol.

Still, even if it really was a 64-bit console, the Jaguar had shit games, with that awkward controller. It was just never gonna fly. But it DID give the world Alien Vs Predator, which looked really awesome back in the day.

I saw the 3D0 only once in 1995, bcos it had super street fighter II turbo...

but the price damn gila mahal, almost rm1000 all in, almost neo geo like price.

and of course neo geo never went below rm1k either....

and that time rm1k was like rm2.5k value nowadays...

Donno why I was so obsessed with consoles. Even when my PC could already play Mortal Kombat (with no sound card!), for some reason I still envied those with Megadrive or SNES. Heck I still wanted a Micro Genius! Maybe it was because my old PC only had like 40MB hard drive, no sound card, no CDROM drive.

Zenix and Chinsc, I'm still waiting for the transaction to appear on my credit card statement before I can quote you the price. Will update again once I have it. Thanks.

Hey guys. Just finished my second full day in Tokyo. This trip wasn't a good one. Either I couldn't find the stuff, or it was too expensive. These are the results so far.

I won't be going to Akihabara anymore for this trip, so the next one will be in DenDen Town during the Osaka trip. I'll be leaving on Sunday, and will most likely check out DenDen Town on Tuesday 22/9.

It's a 3600mAh power bank + card reader basically. It's not a controller, in case you're wondering. But there ARE retro inspired controllers in Akiba / DenDen. Famicom, Super Famicom, even Megadrive and Saturn I think.
