OUR LONG LOST VIDEO GAME TREASURES FOUND

We have begun searching our warehouse and opening tons of sealed boxes we've had tucked away for years. It seems we've stumbled upon our own hidden treasure trove of video game goodness.


Sure brings us down memory lane! We'll be posting pics of some of the more interesting finds on our blog over the next few weeks. I have a feeling most of these items will eventually find their way onto Ebay or our website for sale.


Here is a pic of two Brand New Factory Sealed TurboExpress Handheld Systems still in the original shipping box. Rumours are swirling we may find a few more of these as we continue searching.






TurboExpress:

The TurboExpress or PC Engine GT (Game Tank) in Japan was a portable version of the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine (video game console), released by NEC in 1990. It was the most advanced handheld of its time and could play all the TurboGrafx-16's games (which were on a small, credit-card sized media called HuCards). Due to the high price tag it was labeled as the Rolls Royce of handhelds!

Panasonic Entering The Console Business Again!! Say What??



Seems the folks at Panasonic of ill-fated 3DO console fame have been working on a new handheld video game console dubbed “The Jungle”. The system is designed solely around the concept of taking MMORPGs with you everywhere you go. Features include: A super high resolution display, mini HDMI port, micro USB port, a full QWERTY keyboard , 3.5mm headphone jack and possibly some sort of touch sensitive d-pad. Along with the system Panasonic will be launching a Battlestar Galactica title. With the new Nintendo 3DS on the horizon and rumours of a new PSP 2 in development seems Panasonic will have to push all the right buttons to help “The Jungle” avoid the same fate as their previous console the 3DO suffered.
