Good eye. It is.

Yes, I haven’t played too much with it, but I do need to find a way to make a backup. Might try to 3D scan it as well.

It’s a PC. It’s made from a Surface Laptop and an Asus projector.

Console #376 - BL6 by Bud Light

Yes, I am still alive and collecting (but still in the process of moving), but I couldn't wait to share this one. This is the BL6. A console made by Budweiser as a publicity stunt. Only 5 were made. This fully working with a projector, a built-in can cooler, etc.

The Video Game Research Library is one of my favorite projects I do. For 2026, I wanted to share a new link every single day to a great piece of writing, documentary, or podcast about video games I’ve collected over the years.

I hope you’ll find this journey as interesting as I do…

Not gaming related (well you can definitely use it while gaming) but I am very happy!

Merry Christmas to you all. What did you all get?

this is real btw

Life update:
a) I am still alive 😂
b) I have decided to move to a new home, hence I am packing boxes instead of unpacking to show my stuff
c) I have sold a good chunk of my collection. Don't worry I am keeping all my weird stuff, but I had more than 10K games, I am letting go of a good portion of it

Super Mario Embroidery World / Embroidery design card no. 17

This is a very obscure item. This card was designed for old Brother embroidery machine back in 1993/1994. It features design from Super Mario World, Kart and All-Stars. The U.S. version adds designs from Donkey Kong Country.

Fun fact:
— In July of 2023, I had chickenpox and I wanted to do a coding project and i wanted to get back into emu dev.

In the time I was sick I leaned how Ares worked and made the MyVision core.

Currently only 4 of the only 6 games have been dumped. 😔

Yeah, I got the Aprilia one sometime ago, but they are a bit more common. The DTEC seem to be way less known in the game collecting circles, but it seem to be well known amongst car enthusiasts.

Data Transfer Engine Console (DTEC) by TurboXS

This is the latest addition to the collection, the very rare DTEC. This device allows you to monitor your car exhaust gas temperature, Boost, rpm, air-fuel ratio, etc. The device uses the GBA as display and input control by connecting to the Link port.

I didn’t know it was a thing either, so no .. but excellent guess!

Big (positive) change are coming in my personal life which will affect my posting habits (starting this week), so you will less post for a while.

Meanwhile I just acquired one of the rarest accessory for the GBA. Any guesses on what it might be?

Console #375 - Kiss-site by Tomy

I hesitated to put this as a console as this is primarily a karaoke machine (a VCD player in fact), but edutainment and hobby content were announced to the platform, so it's kinda a count?!? Anyway, this is my list so I decided that it counts 😂

Pocket Dungeon for the PlayStation 

Pocket Dungeon is a RPG game. You play the main game on the PocketStation as first person RPG fighting  monsters in  dungeons while the PlayStation game only features a gallery where the player can view all the monsters that he defeat in the PocketStation game.

Geoffrey Controller for the Nintendo 64

To the like of the Hello Mac controller from last week, this controller was exclusive to Toys “R” Us. By popular demand, I use again the Loopy's Magical Shop as background 😂

Console #374 - Pocket Station for the PlayStation [Black]

This is a limited edition of the Pocket Station that was only available in the Yu-Gi-Oh! True Duel Monsters Sealed Memories First Press Limited Special Box which make it fairly difficult to acquired, especially in box (which is magnificent).

It is already dumped :)

Chicane: Jenson Button Street Racing for the Gizmondo

Chicane is a racing game that was developed for the Gizmondo. The console was discontinued before its release, but a few preview cartridges (like this one) exist.

Hello Mac N64 Controller 

This controller was exclusively available from the Hello Mac store in Japan. It was given with the purchase of an N64 Console during the promotion period.

Console #373 - PocketStation by Sony [Crystal]

The PocketStation was set to be released a few weeks before the Dreamcast, but it was postpone. It is very similar to the VMU and had tons of support for it. In the picture, the Exceed Memory Manager which let you upload games to it from your PC.

Great Naval Battle in the Sea of Japan for the Palcom

The Palcom is a MSX computer that uses LaserDisc as software media. A few games were released on the system, including this one which is a strategic simulation game.

DS Digital TV Tuner by Nintendo

Release in 2007, the name pretty much says it all: it's a digital TV Tuner for your Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi and DSi LL.

Console #372 - iGAME FAMILY by Elonex

This is CRAP! I could stop there, but I will not. Elonex was known for their iPhone stand and decided to create a video game system. The games are downloaded from an online store onto a SD card. 

The full boring story is in the comments section 😂

Nothing to see here, just some prototype controllers for the Tandy Visual Information System that belonged to Frank Durda IV, Senior Project Software Engineer on the project.

Console #371 - Wild King: Strongest Battle Zukan by Sega Toys 

This is an updated version of the Mushiking. Both handheld are basically like Pokémon Go. You film your environment. In some place, a beetle will appear on the screen and you will need to fight it to catch it.

I was asked last week if I color code my shelves and I realized I don't really show off the shelves themselves. I want to do a game room tour in the future when all my stuff will be well organized, but meanwhile enjoy the Pink shelves.

😂
