Its been in storage for at least a decade or 2 without being turned on. I do not even have the stand anymore. What says CE?

Mine's in the same situation. AC adapter connection was fiddly but it did turn on. Got in a little Teleroboxer.

Probably better off if it doesn't. Less vision damage that way.

Just got to ask, But what the hell made you buy that utter piece of junk?

A piece of crap so poor that even Nintendo Europe wanted nothing to do with it and never released it in PAL regions,

I love the video of the AVGN ripping it apart.

I got mine as a teenager right after it was discontinued and heavily discounted. Still one of the best damn Wario games on it.

Apparently that was an urban legend alongside the claim that it could cause permanent brain damage and other serious health concerns if you played it regularly without taking proper breaks.

Man, the 90s were wild in regards to what the press was able to get away with saying about video games, just sayin.

Yeah, judging by the stickers on my game boxes and the fact that I dont have a box for the system, Im pretty sure I picked everything up from Blockbuster when they were doing a massive clearance just to get rid of them. Most of the games were $2, complete in box, with just Wario Land being $10. And yeah, Wario Land is a fantastic game regardless of the system being trash. I also remember enjoying Galactic Pinball quite a bit, although I dont own that one.

Unfortunately though, this thing is fucked. It turned on, but the left eye screen wasnt showing anything. Then 2 min into the game, the right one went. I could still hear the music and sound effects, but no picture.

I know theres folks out there who do repairs, no idea how much that costs though. The games are still worth quite a bit now though it seems.
