The Amstrad Sega Mega PC

Haven't seen one of those Sega MegaDrive/PC hybrids by Amstrad for quite some time, so I guess they are getting rarer and -apparently- much more expensive, as this particular Amstrad Sega Mega PC comes with a Buy It Now price of £175.00. And you'll have to get to Chesterfield, UK to get it, but still. It's a lovely little failed oddity, isn't it?

The Mega PC is after all both a proper 386SX PC and a fully functioning Sega MegaDrive crammed into one desktop box and sharing a monitor. This particular one seems to be in great shape and comes with a few interesting extras, including a copy of Windows 3.1. Sadly no games are included. 

Atari 2600 Mario Bros.

Mario Bros. is a nice little arcade conversion for the Atari 2600 and I absolutely love the fact that Amazon has copies ranging in price from 11$ to 350$. How very odd; or not. Have a look!

Vermin Game & Watch (boxed)

It's one of those relatively rare Game & Watch handhelds by Nintendo and you can get it via this eBay auction. Seller ships worldwide, and the game -Vermin- seems to be both boxed and in absolutely mint condition.

Snatcher: PC Engine Pilot Disk

Snatcher for the Sega (Mega) CD has been featured quite a few times on this very blog and so I thought I'd interest you in something, well, slightly more obscure: the Snatcher Pilot Disk for the PC-Engine Super CD-ROM. The CD will only run on Japanese/Asian consoles and is essentially a glorified demo version of Snatcher, that Konami released before the full game. The Pilot Disk contains a hefty playable demo, a video preview of Snatcher, a database of game characters and quite a few more quirky features.  

It's a BitCorp Gamate!

If you are interested in a truly obscure and quite rare handheld console of the first Gameboy era, well, the Bitcorp Gamate is a must buy, despite the fact that it usually sells for more than 75$, 60 euros or 50 pounds. The Gamate you see went largely unnoticed, sported mostly dire games and only got one positive review ever, meaning it quite possibly is the rarest cheap handheld ever produced. You can find out more about it here and here.

To grab one, well, do try your luck at this BitCorp Gamate auction at eBay. Seller ships worldwide and seems to be offering a well-preserved and fully working console, complete with three games: Galaxy Invaders, Monster Pitfall and Money Maze. Nice.

1942 (Famicom)

Hurry and you might grab the last (and bargain priced) copy of 1942 for the Nintendo Famicom Play-Asia has to sell you. Ah, yes, click here.

Sega Genesis & Sega CD & Games

A lovely collection sporting a Sega Genesis, the Sega CD add-on and 8 decent games (4 for each system), including the amazing Sonic CD. Seller ships only within the US, and I'd suggest you didn't pay more than 100$-115$. Oh, yes, the link.

The ultimate vintage PC games collection

Okay, if this weren't a USA only auction I'd already be bidding on it, as those 149 games and peripherals are -to say the least- amazing. Among them you'll find such boxed rarities and gems as The Dig, Fallout 1 & 2, The Space Bar, Rama, the Myst board game, joysticks, an assortment of weird controllers, the Police Quest Collection and even a 386SX PC (to name a few). Amazing, eh? Bid away!

Final Fight for the Sega Mega CD

It's a beat-'em'up classic for your once innovative and still under-used Sega Mega CD. What else would you need to know? Perhaps the fact that this is a pre-owned copy and that this version of Final Fight comes with quite a few extras and a remastered soundtrack? Hmm, guess that should do. Grab it from Play-Asia.

Boxed Sega Mark III

"What is a boxed Sega Mark III ?", I pretend to hear you ask. Well, it's the Japanese version of the Sega Master System and it comes in a box. It also is a relatively rare Sega console (at least outside Japan, it is), quite a beauty to look at, grants access to some rather unique games and peripherals, and also happens to be the third 8-bit console Sega released in the Mark series. You can find out more about it here, here and here. To grab the one pictured above you should try this eBay auction. Seller ships worldwide.

One Oric-1 in a box

This machine still looks lovely, despite its horrible keyboard and the fact that getting games to load on it can apparently be quite troublesome. Anyway. Good news is you can find an almost unused (allegedly) specimen via eBay. Said Oric-1 comes in its original box, with its original accessories and its shockingly original manual. Seller ships only within the UK. Oh, and this older Oric-1 post of Retro Treasures might be enlightening.

SAS-C Development System (Amiga)

For the talented and creative people that want to program for the Commodore Amiga the way mother nature always wanted, here is the rather impressive 6th version of the SAS-C Development System for the Amiga. It's a powerful C++ compiler, that comes complete with all its manuals, disks and stuff. You can even read an old review of the thing here.
