Title: Galaxian table top, unfortunately non-working
Post by: Belike on June 13, 2010, 10:18:04 PM: I found this table top Galaxian with box, seller described "need to fix".
Look's great! ;D

I also found a Sega Time Scanner original pcb for 65 eur, but no pics attached.

Remember that de Coleco's are not the best technically. Flimsy plastic and bad quality stickering make these table tops very hard to keep mint. Also I guess you need to remove the sticker to open it. Try find a Bandai Galaxian. OMG that one is AWESOME!

Maybe I can create a dedicated section about them on this board if any interest?

I'm a also a big fan of vintage handheld games, and I also have a nice collection of them, so I'm very interested about that new section! ;D

Thanks for the comment Blanka, it is only 15 eur, but I think I' will miss it. ;D

The Q*bert is probably the best arcade like hand held ever made. The game play is so accurate!

Sure, I hope nobody will place bids on it, but if they will, please let me know which is the higher price that is acceptable for you. ;)
