NEC's shiny PC-Engine LT

If you have 950£ burning a hole in your pocket then Retro Treasures reader has discovered a wonderful way to get rid of them: simply buy this pretty amazing and definitely overpriced PC Engine LT. It is after all the portable and rather fantastic gaming laptop that NEC provided PC Engine gamers with, seems to be in brilliant condition and comes with an excellent selection of extras including a proper joypad, the PSU and the complete Gunhed series of games. Seller ships worldwide.

    Haha, yeah, I was going say - these things go for a fortune! Would be an awesome part of a collection though :)

      Absolutely wonderful. But 950 pounds? Why that's more than a (good) salary, that is!

    I will own one of these someday. I will! Hopefully I won't have to pay $950 pounds for it, though :\

      Either that or you might just win a lottery or something :)

    PCE LT prices are in the madness territory, but this one's in really pristine condition. Shame it's not boxed, but if you knock off £100 - £150 for the Gunhead/Star Soldier titles it's not *that* obscene for the market!

      You are right, it is not *that* obscene. Still, far too expensive for me I'm afraid.

    Hmmm... hold on. I'll go on and organize a Retro Treasures support group.

    It's got the wrong extension port cover!
    It's off a core grafx!

    This amazing little machine is one of the last things I am chasing for my PCE collection... They just cost too damn much!! I'd be happy with one unboxed, but even then I'd need to give a kidney. :(

    By the way, I hope it's cool to add your blog to the list of game related blogs on my site. I am pretty sure the guys reading my site wouldn't mind seeing what you have here. :)

      A kidney wouldn't be worth it -well, not if you have less than three- but it definitely is desirable.

      Oh, and thanks a ton for the link. Returning the favour and linking to your brilliant site asap!
