Original 128k boxed Macintosh

The original Macintosh was much more than an innovative personal computer. It was a thing of beauty. An excellently designed and incredibly elegant machine that, despite being very expensive indeed, managed to appeal to every creative and digitally oriented person. Impressively the machine, its excellent GUI and that compact, crisp black and white screen have aged to perfection.

Anyway. Time to get to this post's point and share with you an amazing Macintosh 128k eBay auction that is so very tempting. The seller is actually offering a complete, boxed, original Macinstosh that even comes  with its styrofoams. You will among other stuff be getting the properly original keyboard, mouse, 128k power cord,  owner's manual, Tour of Macintosh tape & diskette, MacPaint, MacWrite, Alice Through The Looking Glass, some Apple stickers and quite a few more disks. Seller ships worldwide!

Choplifter! for the Atari XE

The XE version of Choplifter! is a great 8-bit conversion of the classic game, sporting some detailed graphics, responsive controls and impressive parallax scrolling. You can buy a happily boxed Choplifter! cartridge via this aptly titled Choplifter! XE auction. The game comes complete with its manual, though the seller ships only within the US.

The Texas Instruments TI-99/4

We are all so comfortable with the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A micro, that we apparently keep forgetting its humbler and much rarer predecessor: the TI-99/4. Released in 1979 and sporting a calculator-esque keyboard while also lacking in graphics abilities, the computer was very soon surpassed by the 4A only to end up being the more collectible model.

To own one, do have a look at this pretty impressive Texas Instuments TI-99/4 auction. Not only will you be getting a working micro complete with everything you'll need to get it running, but also a great selection of manuals, guides, programs and games. Seller ships only within the US.

Slime World Prototype (Atari Lynx)

Todd's Adventures in Slime World is a truly fantastic game. One of the very best to ever appear on the Atari Lynx. It is huge, smart, unique and visually stunning. Interestingly though, this post is not about the game itself, but its much rarer prototype which seems to have just surfaced on eBay. You can bid on it via this Slime World Prototype auction. Seller ships worldwide.

The prototype, an employees-only demo apparently, is a cartridge that wasn't supposed to be sold and sports quite a few interesting differences when compared to the final product. The game, among other stuff, keeps dropping four players in each level, allows you to, uhm, try again and restore, has certain graphical differences and a totally different title screen. 

Zork II Dungeon Guide Map

Zork II: The Wizard of Frobozz might not be as maddeningly difficult as its prequel, but it most definitely remains a very taxing game indeed. The map you see above, the 1982 Zork II Dungeon Guide Map by the Zork Users Group, will not only help you with the adventure itself, but also make for a beautiful and rare collectible. Bid on it via this Zork II Map auction. Seller ships worldwide.

Boxed ZX Spectrum 128

If you live in the UK and want a boxed and well-preserved Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128 with a lovely heat-sink to keep your coffee warm, you should definitely have a look at this Speccy 128 auction. It's such a lovely machine...

Nintendo's Top Loading Famicom

Today is apparently (and according to at least two of my friends) the day of interesting Japanese versions of Nintendo consoles and that's why I'm now linking to this Top Loading Famicom auction. The console is allegedly unused and comes in its original box. Also, it's almost rare and a passably obscure Nintendo 8-bit offering. Also also, seller ships only within the US. 

Nintendo Super Famicom

The Super Famicom, the original, Japanese version of the SNES, is a truly classic 16-bit console as all of us very well know. Besides, it will also let you enjoy tons of brilliant Japan only releases. And it's quite collectible too. You can grab a boxed one via this Super Famicom auction. Seller ships worldwide. 

10 lovely C64 Games

I somehow restrained myself from making some sort of FOR i=1 TO 10 NEXT C64 GAME joke for this post's title, but, apparently, nobody is perfect. Still, you should really have a look at this auction for 10 Commodore 64 games. The seller is shipping worldwide and is offering 10 boxed games, among which you'll find Kick Off 2, Out Run, Double Dragon, Crazy Kong and Quasimodo.

Commodore Amiga 500 NiB

The Commodore Amiga 500 is much more than the ultimate 16-bit gaming machine: it's usually cheap to grab and collect for. Apparently though it can also turn out to be a pretty pricey investment (yeah, right) too, as this fantastic Amiga 500 auction should emphatically prove. It is after all the original Amiga 500; unopened, unused, practically new in its complete box. Everything seems to be in brilliant condition and the seller ships only within the US.

N64 Hello Mac Controller

You most probably shouldn't care for this post -unless of course you'd care to see an unboxed Nintendo 64 controller that's bound to sell for more than $1000- but if you actually do care, well, this N64 Hello Mac controller auction is definitely one for you. Seller ships worldwide.

Bury the Monsters

Bury the Monsters by Romtec is a rather obscure and relatively rare (I think) LCD handheld, that was released back in 1982 and isn't wholly dissimilar to a Game & Watch. I suppose you could discover more about it if you grabbed this Bury the Monsters handheld that recently appeared on eBay. The machine is in decent working condition and the seller ships worldwide.
