Shiny new Dina 2-in1

It's been over two years since the last time Retro Treasures posted about the Dina 2-in-1 (a.k.a. the Telegames Personal Arcade) and let you know about that unique console that can play both ColecoVision and most Sega SG-1000 games and was released back in 1986. Happily, the time has come for another Dina 2-in-1 to appear on eBay; it's a boxed, practically new console, that comes with everything you'll need to plug it in and get it working. Seller ships only within the US.

(Thanks Terry!)

Infocom's Deadline (Apple II)

Infocom's brilliant and verbose mystery-'em-up piece of interactive fiction, Deadline, hasn't aged a day and has never really been surpassed. It's also a fine example of how to fully integrate feelies into gameplay, but, well, I digress. Deadline for the Apple II has once again appeared on eBay in its complete, boxed version and apparently fine condition. Seller ships only within the US. Grab it, will you?

Vectrex NIB

An unused, unopened and very mint Vectrex is both a thing of beauty and something that will definitely not come in cheap. Then again crisp vector graphics were never cheap and this Vectrex auction is too tasty to ignore. Seller ships only within the US.

The Acorn Electron Bundle

Unlike the digital nature of today's bundles this lovely Acorn Electron Bundle is very physical (and quite bulky) indeed, though it does come with all sorts of retro goodness. First of all it includes a fully working Acorn Electron, the cheaper brother to the BBC Micro, and all the bits you'll need to get it working. Then, we have a selection of books and leaflets, some boxed pieces of software (yes, games too) and, to round everything up, quite a few unboxed tapes. Seller ships only within the UK.

Speedball 2 (Amiga CD32)

Truth be said, if you do actually own an Amiga CD32 and are lacking a copy of the Bitmap Brothers' Speedball 2 you are definitely missing out. Not, that the CD32 version of this brutal, futuristic sport is much better than its A1200 counterpart mind, but it definitely remains an excellent port of a fantastic game. One of the CD32's best. And you can grab it via this Speedball 2 auction. Seller ships worldwide.

The Commodore Max Machine

Time for another discovery by Blake of ByteCellar; time for a Commodore Max Machine auction! It's Commodore's least known 8-bit micro, a Japan-only release, a proper rarity and a shiny, tiny machine, that you can now get boxed, in full working condition and complete with three games. Seller ships to the United States, Europe, most of Asia, Canada and Australia.

As for the Max Machine, well, it was a failed attempt at producing a stripped down and much cheaper Commodore 64 that would primarily load its games from a cartridge, what with it shipping with a ridiculously low amount of RAM. Also, the micro came with a much cheaper keyboard, but did sport the SID chip. 

Bomberman '93 (TurboGrafx-16)

You know Bomberman, you know Bomberman '93 and you definitely know that Bomberman '93 for the TurboGrafx-16 is a great arcade game. So, uhm, well why not grab its complete, boxed copy? Why not indeed? Just keep in mind the seller is only shipping to US addresses. 

The CIB Super NES Super Set

If you've been looking for a NTSC Nintendo SNES, I do believe this lovely SNES Super Kit auction is what you've been waiting for. The console comes complete in its box, everything seems to be in great condition and, well, the SNES Super Set has always been an excellent choice, what with its two controllers,  and Super Mario World and Mario Paint cartridges. Seller ships worldwide.

Deus Ex Machina (ZX Spectrum)

Another long break is over and Retro Treasures is back and ready to entertain you the old-fashioned, vintage-collecting, money-spending way. Or, well, something like that.

Anyway, and to get you spending right-away, here's a really rare copy of the amazing Deus Ex Machina by Automata for the ZX Spectrum. The game comes complete (yes, poster and all) in its box and remains as interesting an interactive audio-visual experience as ever. Seller ships to N. and S. America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Deep Space: The retro loving indie gaming bundle!

I haven't posted for quite some time, I know, but, I can finally show you what I had been working on: Bundle In A Box: Deep Space. Yes, it's the latest in pay-what-you-want bundles, only this one is different. Everything is DRM-free, everything sticks to the deep space theme, most games are for both Mac and PC and it has a distinct retro flavour.

Let me elaborate on that distinct retro flavour then. Among the 8 games (excellent games, if  I may say so myself) you can grab, there are five (5!) retro lovers will adore:

• the shiny remake of classic Commodore 64 shmup Armalyte
• Jeff Minter's psychedelic Space Giraffe
• retro-flavoured platformer Robot Riot
• TIE Fighter inspired The Wreckless
• and ueber-colourful exclusive, debut arena shmup Death Ray Manta

The other three games are Dark Scavenger, Miner Wars Arena and Sol: Exodus and everything is accompanied by a healthy dose of extras such as soundtracks, books, exclusive content for Droidscape: Basilica and even the complete first issue of PlaySF.

Oh, and by buying it you will also be supporting a most important charity and those modern bedroon developers too!

Atari CommaVid Magicard

What you are looking at is not an Atari game, but an early version of the incredibly rare CommaVid Magicard. It is thus a programming tool for the Atari 2600/VCS that comes with a pretty hefty manual, overlay templates and that circuit board and will, according to Atari's marketing, turn your Atari into a "hobby computer". Have a look at the Atari CommaVid Magicard eBay auction. Seller ships worldwide.

Fantastic New Sega Master System Mark I

If you ever wanted the finest Sega Master System money can buy this boxed Mark I auction should make you happy. It's a fantastic console, complete in its box; also a console that has never even been removed from the styrofoam! Seller ships only within the US.
