67 batteries? What size how long did 67 batteries keep it going for? Must have cost a fortune to keep running.

I take it you took it literally when he said it was the size of a house too...

I want to collect all of these

I do still have my Spectrum 128K +2a with James Bond Lightgun somewhere though. and an enormous bin liner of games. First I'll finish my console collection as I think the Speccy is more of a PC

Who could forget the Sega Nomad, It's a megadrive....handheld.... It was the size of a house and took 67 batteries but did actually have a few good ideas like TV-Out and a MD gamepad port for 2 player mode.

did it play all mega drive games ?

when did it come out ?

My Virtual Boy.

Bought brand new for $15 in Electronics Boutique in the USA whilst on holiday in 1998.

I've also got one of the greatest platformers of all time in Wario Land on the VB.

Got exactly the same in the attic, but i think its been modded to a scary 256 or 512 kb of ram. It does make you want to cry when you wait 5 minutes for a game to load and theres an error

. I have ghostbusters, sky defence, oh mummy and load of other games for it (cant remember the titles). The sad thing is that i tried playing ghostbusters and had no idea what i was even supposed to do and then there was an error within 10 minutes of play. You think i can get a patch for it??
