Tengen Tetris NES
If there is one collectible NES game that has legendary I.P. conflict written all over it, then it has to be Tengen Tetris. Atari-controlled company Tengen, you see, despite apparently only having the rights for the computer versions of Tetris, went on and produced an excellent port of the game for Nintendo's 8-bit console. But, with Nintendo having already acquired the Tetris rights on consoles (only) and producing -an inferior, though legally superior- version of the game, Tengen was forced to withdraw and remove its cartridges from shops worldwide. Thus Tengen's Tetris became a rarity. A rarity you can now grab for a modest price by following this Tengen Tetris NES eBay link. Seller ships worldwide.

eBay Rampage: NES
The Nintendo Entertainment System, also known as the NES, is the 8-bit gaming console that signaled the beginning of the modern video games industry. Apparently it also spawned such enduring game series as Mario, Zelda and Metroid and never fared that well outside the US and Japan. Then again, you know all there is to know about it, don't you? Oh, and you can usually grab one for something around 20 pounds, 23 euros or 30$.

Get Lucky with an Amiga 1000
The Commodore Amiga 1000 was -by far- the most beautiful Amiga computer ever released. Sadly, being also quite a rarity, it can fetch some pretty steep prices on eBay, though this Amiga 1000 auction might turn out better. Provided you don't want a monitor, can do with an extra 8 megs of memory and dare to take some chances, that is. Seller ships only within the US.

Jaguar JagLink by Atari
The JagLink thingy advertised above allows two Atari Jaguar consoles to be networked together and provide a nice little home gaming LAN of sorts. The JagLink box includes all you need to connect two Jaguars, though, sadly, only three games can use the thing (Air Cars, BattleSphere, and Doom), as it didn't quite set the Atari world on fire. For a brand new, obviously boxed, Atari JagLink do try this boxed JagLink auction. Seller ships worldwide.

Bandai's fantastic WonderSwan
Designed by legendary Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi, the WonderSwan from Bandai was a powerful little handheld console released in 1999, that happily went on (in all its various... err... variants) to sell a very respectable 3.5 million consoles worldwide. Apparently got a couple hundred games released for it too, including the brilliant Gunpey and some Gundam offerings. The original version of the machine in particular, the one with the black and white display, usually sells for 30-40$, meaning this very impressive and apparently absolutely new in its box WonderSwan (Skeleton Black model) could go for quite a bit more, though apparently not much. Seller ships worldwide.

CD1500: CDTV Professional
Commodore's CDTV was stylish, powerful, imaginative, Amiga compatible and unfortunately a huge commercial flop you can read about here. The CD1500, on the other hand, the CDTV Professional upgrade, was less stylish, more of a flop, definitely disk-centered and apparently quite rare. It also manages to turn the DVD player styled CDTV into a proper Amiga 500 computer with a CD-ROM. What's more you can actually grab one boxed CDTV Professional with extras via eBay. Seller ships worldwide.
You will be getting the CDTV Professional which gives you a keyboard, mouse and floppy drive for the CDTV and -as an added bonus- the CD1252 infrared mouse and the CDTV infrared trackball. Oh, and an already working CDTV should also come in handy, as one isn't included.

Games for your Master System
It's a UK only auction for Sega Master System games and I couldn't be more jealous. Haven't grabbed anything for my poor 8-bit Sega for ages you see, and the poor thing is just sitting in a corner next to a burnt Amiga monitor. Oh, well... At least you lot can enjoy such gems as Sonic, Sonic 2, Castle of Illusion, Taz-Mania and one more copy of Sonic 2.
