I'm sure we've shared these before, but here's a look at Evercon from last year, and this year promises to be even better!

A Sega model 2 Genesis, Model 2 Sega CD, and Sega 32X combined to form the "Battleship," the nickname given to the arrangement of model 2 components. The more famous model 1 arrangement is referred to as "The Tower of Power" in fan circles. This unit is very dusty, but won't be for long!

Hey! Do you own (or used to own) a PonoPlayer? If so, please DM me or email me! I'd love for you to be a part of my next episode! 😁

A small, long, yellow, triangular music player, named PonoPlayer, with a 2.5-inch touchscreen on top. It's sitting on top of an album cover, Harvest by Neil Young.

That's right, baby! My next episode is about Neil Young's PonoPlayer! This was the third-highest funded Kickstarter at the time…

I wonder what happened? πŸ‘€ See you in March!

Dr. Eggman oversees a diagnostic investigation of a pseudo-functional Philips CD Interactive machine. The engineering on this thing is fantastic- I wish modern consoles were half as easy to work on.

Sorry for the random question, but I need to know. If a Toblerone bar and an iPod had a baby, what would it look like?

Honk if you want to see lots of CRTs and lots of crusty old consoles this week (you're getting that anyway).

Japanese Sega Mega Drive connected to Sony CRT TV with Bio Hazard Battle PAL cartridge inserted and message on screen that reads "This cartridge has been developed for use outside Asia. It can not be used within hardware units for sale within these areas."

This Japanese Sega Mega Drive used to live in Russia and had a nasty PAL 50Hz mod. I reversed it about 15 years ago but left the English pads bridged.

Anyway, now it thinks it's in Asia and is lecturing me in English.

Not sure how I feel about Zelda turning 40, but I will be firing the original up on the Famicom Disc System (as soon as I locate the box it's currently stored in)

I didn't have "Trump de facto eliminates SCOTUS" on my bingo card. I wonder how Roberts is feeling about that immunity ruling now that his authority has been revealed as a threadbare facade.

Just wanted to share a glamour shot of my A2000. This one has a 50 MHz 68030, 64 MB Fast RAM, 2MB Chip RAM expansion, and an A2091 SCSI card. I also have an RGB 2 HDMI board in the video slot.
