Sega Nomad: Nice and Working

The Sega Nomad was a weird idea. It was big, bulky, expensive and battery draining. It was also pretty late to the handheld party and, well, it failed rather quickly, meaning it's a rather fantastic little console to own as a retro gamer, and a handy way of playing those classic 16-bit Sega games without fiddling with cables and emulators. So, uhm, why not grab one? This particular Sega Nomad on eBay seems to be in great condition and can be shipped worldwide too.

The Computec Video Game System

Interested in an obscure Atari 2600 clone? Lucky you then, as this Computec Video Game System has recently been listed on eBay and is both a relatively unknown console and a decent clone of the mighty 2600. The thing works properly, but the seller is only selling the console itself; no cables, games or controllers are included. Oh, and it's a worldwide auction too.

Atari Jaguar VR Headset

Described somewhat excitedly by its seller as an "ultra rare holy grail", the Atari Jaguar VR Headset that recently appeared on eBay is both a thing of beauty and, indeed, one of extreme rarity. The headset was the result of the collaboration between Atari and Virtuality and a product that was eventually dropped; rumour has it only 2 of them are available worldwide. 

What you'll be bidding on (provided you can spend over $14,500) will be the red/low-res version of the headset and it seems to come complete with everything a Jaguar collector might need. Seller ships only within the US.

It's fine day to start a ZX Spectrum Collection!

No, really, it is. It's cold, the Speccy still hasn't aged a day, a seller that ships worldwide has been discovered and this particular boxed ZX Spectrum auction will provide you with everything you need to get started and more. To be precise here's what you'll be getting: a complete, boxed 48k ZX Spectrum with a new keyboard membrane, a composite video output and a SCART adapter to connect the thing to a modern TV, a Walkman (!) to get your games loaded, a joystick with its interface and a small selection of games. 

Magisterrex.com Closing Sale

My favourite online retro gaming store, the ever brilliant Magisterrex.com, is sadly closing down. Sad times indeed, but at least it's going out with a bang and a 50% off everything sale that will end on January 13. So, yeah, better hurry up and grab your retro gear and games while you can.

Oh, and happy 2013 everyone!

The Eclectic Delights Bundle is Live!

Yes dear readers, the time for Bundle In A Box: Eclectic Delights has come! Yes, it's the latest in pay-what-you-want bundles, only this one is different. Everything is DRM-free, every game has been painstakingly selected for its indie appeal, 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 9 games (excellent games, if  I may say so myself) you can grab for a pay-what-you-want price, there are five (5!) retro lovers will adore:

• the shiny reimagining of Atari 2600 classic Adventure Flibble
• traditional, mystery point-and-clicker Shadows of the Vatican
• retro-flavoured, lovecraftian platformer Eversion
• FMV fighting game Stay Dead
• and 16bit-esque strategy offering Delve Deeper

The other four games are War of the Human Tanks, Fibrillation, The 4th Wall and The Adventures of Shuggy. Everything is accompanied by a healthy dose of extras such as soundtracks, comic books, and exclusive content for Droidscape: Basilica.

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

The extremely rare Mangia (Atari 2600)

Ready to throw tons of money on some mouth-watering retro collectibles? Excellent! Here, better bid on this boxed copy of Mangia for the Atari 2600 on eBay then. It's bound to sell for at least a couple thousand of dollars, as it indeed is the very rare boxed copy of the NTSC version of Mangia and is in apparently excellent condition. Seller ships worldwide.

A brilliant Amiga 600HD in a box

The not particularly successful Commodore Amiga 600 may have been an unneeded updated to the already mediocre A500+, but it remains a lovely and very compact 16-bit micro. You can actually find this out by grabbing this boxed Amiga 600 via eBay. It comes complete in its box with a mouse, the full Workbench, Kindword, Deluxe Paint III, Pushover, Putty and Grand Prix. Keep in mind that the computer has had its RAM upgraded to 1MB and sports a 120MD hard drive. Seller ships to the European Union, Canada and the USA.

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.
