One shiny, black Commodore CDTV

The Commodore CDTV is one of history's sleekest failed pieces of hardware. Essentially a keyboardless Amiga 500 with a CD-ROM drive in a black set-top box that was ridiculously priced and a bit under-powered for 1991. As for its software and games, well, what it mainly got were enhanced versions of existing games and those multimedia/edutainment things everyone was producing back in the early '90s. Oh, and it came with a truly intriguing controller.

Interestingly, though not extremely expensive, the CDTV doesn't appear very often on eBay and you'll be happy to know there's a Commodore CDTV auction waiting for your bids right now. You'll get the console, the remote/controller, the CD tray and the required cables.

Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders for the Amiga 500

Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, probably the most taxing Lucasfilm adventure ever, has gone up for auction on eBay. It's the complete, boxed version of the game for the Amiga 500 and the seller is shipping worldwide. Oh, and that included spaced-out newspaper is simply brilliant.

[Update: it's not the ST, it's the Amiga version]

The Casio PV-1000 Console

Casio's obscure first video game console, the Casio PV-1000, was released in Japan in 1983 and, as you may have noticed, failed to make an impression.

Obviously, it is nowadays a highly sought after rarity.

You can buy yourselves one via this sensibly priced Casio PV-1000 eBay listing. The console comes complete with the Casio-TJ 1 joystick, the power adapter, RF cables and a complete, boxed copy of the Pachinko UFO game. Seller ships to Europe, the U.S., South America, Japan, Australia and more than a few other places.
