Hey, I didn't purchase anything last time (except a wonderswan and a famicom) But... I got two philips in2it from my father...

I got this from a site about it:

In 1996, Philips of Netherlands designed a handheld & electronic organizer device mainly aimed to be "an educational but fun tool for girls". About a hundred of these were manufactured and given out internally at Philips for testing. Also known as Philips KidCom. About 5 of these were used in Finland in a study about what children think about using a device for something like messaging and other things.

Do you guys think its very rare? My father worked for philips holland so... We have 2... If it is rare... I have one that doesnt work. Can someone then help to fix it?:P THANKS! ;D

Nice Challenge Set SMB3 FamicomFreak!  Does the PowerGlove work?
Djdac, how does that Mario Power Tennis play?  I've been debating on whether I should get one of those GAMEPLAY CONTROL remakes.
I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat

Seriously...holy &^$*ing crap for what he got them for  :o  Only time I've ever gotten anything for under $2 that was worth a bit more than some of those games was my fantastic shape Mermaids of Atlantis (surprising because it was at a Play'n'Trade store and not a flea market).

Heh thanks guys but the power glove need the receiver to work with. I'll have to buy one sometime in the future or keep a look out for them in the flea market.

The controls are not as good as tennis in wii sports. But they are definately not bad. You can adjust the controls as well in the game. I'd say if you really love playing tennis on the wii you should get the game.

Got a free Vectrex from a friend.  He tested it last week, but it's not working now :(

I'm afraid to try and fix it since I don't want the CRT to kill me.

It's easy to discharge a CRT. First, unplug the tv.  ;) Next, take an insulated flat head screwdriver and attach a lead from it to the metal housing on the tv (but no to any logic boards). Slide the screwdriver under the anode cap until it touches the anode aperture and, once it sparks, you've discharged it. It's always a good idea to keep an ongoing lead in place under the anode cap while you're working since CRTs have a tendency to re-charge themselves. There are youtube videos and text documents online showing/explaining  how to do this safely. Give it a try!  :)

Sweet finds. Due to the flea market and work I missed the sale but they come every three months or so. I'll keep an eye out for the next one.

Pitfall II is great but hard as fuck.

Definitely a step up from Pitfall ;D  Just a little practice and you'll get it
