One excellent Sinclair QL

The brilliant flop that was the Sinclair QL can joyfully be yours via this lovely Sinclair QL eBay auction, and I frankly can't see how anyone could resist it. The micro does after all come complete in its original box with quite a bit of software (and some games) and seems to be in absolutely excellent condition. Seller ships only within Europe.

Behold the finest platformer your GBA and DS can play: Manic Miner. And, yes, it is the original Manic Miner, and it has indeed been updated to SNES audiovisual standards.

12 Dragon User issues

Dragon User was the definitive magazine for, well, Dragon 32 users and gamers from 1982 to 1985, what with its monthly reviews, interviews, listings and technical articles. To own all 12 issues from 1984, in apparently excellent condition too, you could try this Dragon User auction. Seller ships only within the UK.  

Atari Jaguar Rapier Development System

Development systems are a firm favourite of Retro Treasures, as are all things Atari, and that's why I simply couldn't resist linking to this fantastic Atari Jaguar Dev Kit. It is a fully working system and one of the earlier Jaguar development kits Atari sent forth, it includes the Jaguar ROM Card, CD Rom to Rapier Interface Card and the Felix I/O Card  and comes in its decidely unspectacular original case with all the required cables. Oh, and interestingly this is the very same unit that Telegames used to create its Jaguar ports and games. The same hardware thus that brought Worms to its first 64-bit console. Seller ships worldwide.

Atari Lynx Lemmings

The Atari Lynx version of Lemmings, despite the obvious limitations of any d-pad when compared to a mouse, remains to this day an absolutely excellent port of the Psygnosis classic save-'em'up. It also happens to be one of the rarer games available for the Lynx and, happily, one you could grab via this Lemmings (Lynx) auction. Seller ships to Europe, USA and Canada. Oh, and you can find out more about the game over at AtariAge.

US Sega Dreamcast Bundle

We are all quite aware of the fact the Sega Dreamcast is a fantastic console with an excellent games library and that's why we all care when a great Dreamcast Bundle hits eBay. This particular one features a NTSC, US version of the console, that comes with four controllers, four VMUs, the fishing rod controller, the Game Shark Lite game enhancer, all necessary cables and 14 boxed games (including gems and rarities such as Crazy Taxi, Sega Bass Fishing, Shenmue, Seaman and Virtua Tennis). Seller ships only within the US.

Colossal Adventure by Level 9

Colossal Adventure was the first game by text adventure legends Level 9. It was released back in 1983 and was a more or less straightforward port of the original Adventure. Oh, and to enjoy this pretty important classic on your ZX Spectrum you could do worse than grab this boxed Colossal Adventure copy. Seller ships only within the United Kingdom.

Retro Treasures has posted quite a few retro discoveries by Blake of the retro-infested and ever lovely ByteCellar, but never anything remotely as impressive as this Apple Macintosh Museum auction.

The whole lot can be yours for $35k; provided you either live in the US or Canada that is and want to actually start a vintage computing museum. You'll obviously be getting a ton of peripherals, accessories, books, posters, posters, t-shirts and software to help you flesh things out, as well as the applemacmuseum.com domain name.

Bandai Playdia (boxed)

The Bandai Playdia, a 1994 CD-ROM console by Bandai aimed at kids, was a machine released exclusively in Japan. It only got games published by Bandai -usually based on popular manga and anime series- and effectively died in 1995, meaning that it too was quite a flop. Granted, an exotic and good-looking one, but still a flop. Now, despite being relatively hard to find in the West this boxed Bandai Playdia is (almost) decently priced and the seller ships worldwide.

Rez (Dreamcast)

There are more than a few reasons for owning a Sega Dreamcast, but you'll surely agree that Rez is easily one of the chief ones. It is after all the first game that went for that synesthesia effect, a visual powerhouse, an absolutely excellent on-rails shooter, an  audio-visually stunning offering and one of the most surreal, unique and relaxing experiences ever realized. It is in short brilliant. Oh, and quite collectible too and that's why I figured everyone would be interested in grabbing one of those modestly priced Japanese Rez copies Play Asia still has in stock.
