@@The-Mad-Face thanks

@@Alinktome I will show the Bandai Solar in a few weeks.

@RubyJones-zj4fu love the coleco mini arcades. I have a set to keep and a set to play. Thought about the arcade 1up, but didn't want to run out of space.

@lindaguillory7802 Linda they are so cool we got a bigger house so we could get more I kid you not.

@DeanoEssex there should be tons of the tabletop handhelds out there. Gakken has a nice defender. Entex also.

I will search my list. I can think of a couple, but can't remember their location.

@elvisrobotbeta3299 lol, yeah my camera skills are trash. Thanks for taking the time to say it in a nice way. 🤣. I wish I could say I will do better, but... I really suck. I only post 25% of what I do, but the rest is worse. I will do research on a camera, don't get your hopes up. Thanks for your support. Stick with me until you can't take it anymore. Lol

@@lindaguillory7802 Hahahaha, did you notice it🤭 Well, you're welcome, beautiful. The important thing was to make you feel good as much as I could☺️😏❤️ Of course, I will not lose hope and I will keep an eye on you. And I will stick with you forever until our last breaths are heard loudly😉❤️

@VectrexForever LOL, I really do take my inspiration from you guys. I want to make it interesting for you, because it's all interesting to me. I'm easy. Worked on two play & time games this afternoon. Fixed one and found out the other was a variant internally and with the screen so my scrap game wouldn't work for parts. I love fixing things.

@@lindaguillory7802 Wow, good job! Maybe you could do a repair video, that would be interesting to watch. EDIT: Wait, I watched videos of you repairing games already, I really enjoyed them, would love to see more. I love your story about how fixing your games turned into your career. As a kid, I disassembled my toys because I wanted to know how they worked, but couldn't put them back together. Later on I was able to also put them back together, which sometimes magically fixed them. Later on I could fix some stuff, but nothing too complicated. I've almost replaced all chips in my Commodore 16 by now, and it still doesn't work correctly :D

@VectrexForever I'm going to look at more of these revisions in the coming weeks. There's probably a lot more than you think.

@VectrexForever yes I definitely think the Tandy name was used overseas. Tandy Pirate makes sense to me know. It is a foreign version I could never find locally.

@@lindaguillory7802 I somehow didn't notice that you responded to my comment. I love the new video.

@LegallyInsaneGamer definitely not as easy as it looks.

@@JohnMcCartney1991 Thank you. Good luck with the retro games. Looks like you chose wisely.

@@lindaguillory7802 ❤

@pavou666l3 wow, that makes 5 variations. Thanks for letting me know.

@@SenranKaguraFan1227 gator panic would definitely be a fitting name for this.

@@StuartsTRAVELvideos Thank you so much

@sizernino not sure. I have a few hundred still in my "catalog" room. If I had to guess, I would say around 4000 systems which doesn't include any of the Nintendo cartridges. Original Nintendo is just 1 system, Nintendo 64 is one system, etc.

@lindaguillory7802 wow that's an amazing collection! Do you count specific models as different systems? Like a Sega Genesis Model 1 & Sega Genesis Model 2 would be one system or two?

Also, one other thing about soldering on old PCB like this, they can burn and lift pads easily. I noticed early 80s stuff and previous have this problem, particularly when I've fixed Atari items. Maybe raise soldering iron temp slowly and just enough to start melting the solder and don't let the iron sit too long.

@WhatsOnMyShelf I do like finding a cold solder joint. Those are so satisfying. 😀 Unlikely in this case, though. I may have some pictures and can post a short video of the board, but I've moved on. A boxed Monster Maze is hard to find, and that one is up for sale/trade (arm&leg), so I didn't want to mess around with it too much. I pull out an unboxed Tiger Jawbreaker that I'm willing to do more experiments on. I think you may be right that it could be the screen. Honestly, I wanted to play around with the potentiometer more, but since I don't have a replacement one, I didn't want to risk damaging it.

@@lindaguillory7802 I understand not wanting to fool around with the solder. With Sega systems, I've found that the solder goes bad on the AV, power port, and controller ports and they don't visibly look bad. Reflowing the solder works every time.

@@sherryofford6634 Thanks for watching Sherry

@steenfilskovandersen395 Thanks Steen. Yes, I tried to adjust the contrast, while the potentiometer turns well it doesn't seem to make the screen change at all.

@@lindaguillory7802i think the screen has rot if you look it’s very hard to see the top left and right. It looks mostly just green

@vwbubs1170 I agree. I need to find the correct polarizing film and it will vastly improve. Also, I wish the screen contrast would work. Get this when I was looking for my duplicate monster maze. I found my duplicate lcd hand series monster maze, and you were right that screen fits the game also. I deleted that from the video because it was too long and screen had a bad LCD. If I find a better version, I may retry it just for fun.

@@lindaguillory7802That might do it! I hope to one day find one of these games. I would probably send the lcd to a place that can custom manufacture them.

@@lindaguillory7802That’s interesting! The tiger big screen pac man should work too! I’m hoping to one day get one of these so I could get the screen sent in to be reproduced;)

@@vwbubs1170 you can get these reproduced? I had no idea.

@@lindaguillory7802Yup look up custom lcd manufacturing and you will find companies that will do it! However unless I had one I real life I could not make one as I would need to see it in person to make a 1/1 replica. I think you may be able to get one sent in to but I’m not sure

@@MackDaddi LOL. The blown bulb seems more like maintenance than a fix, but I was happy to find it. It was like night and day after changing it.

@sherryofford6634 LOL, Thanks Sherry. You know it's calling me. I'm trying to resist, but it's definitely something I have to look at this weekend.

@vwbubs1170 I have some extra polarizing film, and I will try that. Wow, that would be awesome. Something tells me I will get sidetracked today trying this. It can't be that simple, could it? But now that you say that, it makes total sense. I got to check this out.

@@lindaguillory7802I’m very certain it would work if you switch the polarizing film around on the monster chase it would probably look like the tiger one! Really excited to see if it makes a difference

@saturncrush Thank you. I really need to write it down. I used to keep a log of "fun facts." Now I forget more than I remember...I'm going to find my Zelda notebook with the "good stuff." Your comments inspire me.

@@RetroGamesCity Thank you so much.

Which ones were you not aware of? I remembered about 3 others that I forgot to include.

I could see that. The laundromat is definitely a place to kill time.

Coleco was my first table top mini arcade. I could turn it over almost twice. I would see the patterns when I closed my eyes.

@@vwbubs1170 I'm not aware of a Pac monster 1, I assumed it was a naming thing like Entex did to avoid copyright disputes. But you bring up a good point. I will have to keep my eyes peeled.

@@lindaguillory7802 that’s what I originally thought to.I bet there is more incredibly rare VFD pac man games waiting to be re discovered ! My last question if you don’t mind answering it what website did you see the game for sale on as I’m hoping to find one!

@@vwbubs1170 I don't mind answering any questions. I TRY not to hoard information. I want everyone to grow their vintage handheld collections. I found it on eBay. The seller was a collector/seller who found two of them in Korea and sold me the worst looking one. Not sure how he found them, but he always had the most rare stuff.

@@lindaguillory7802 Wow thanks so much! Shocked it was on eBay worthpoint said one had never sold! Thanks for answering all my questions I’d love to get one but I’d say a few thousand were made so I’m not holding my breath. Thanks so much!

@@vwbubs1170 Those Actronics/ludotronic ones are the best. If you're patient, a good price unboxed would be $60 -$100. Boxed $75 -$125.

@@vwbubs1170 tiger monster maze pocket size is a bit harder to price. It’s pretty rare to see those nowadays. I probably paid $400 for mine new in the box, but I also found an OK CGL version unboxed for $30.

Please note none of the are available any longer. I've moved them into storage. I only list every couple years or so.

@@lindaguillory7802 Aw man well thank you for giving me great prices and tips I will definitely keep those in mind while looking

Coleco Pacman is one of my first loves so I like any Pac Man game. I may show the entex when I show the handheld Pac man.

@@lindaguillory7802 I can imagine that, the first games always have that extra nostalgia factor. And Pac-Man still is really fun to play. A girl living across from me, back in the eighties, had the Cresta Pac-Man handheld, which I also really liked, despite its limitations. I still have a Pac-Man board game from that time as well.

@@VectrexForever love the red rosy. I have 3 versions of that one, but only two were easy to reach. 😀

@@lindaguillory7802 wow, three even, I think that game is pretty rare. Are they different?

@@VectrexForever only the boxes and manufacturers decal

Gracias. Sí, Pacman es un clásico. Hay tantos buenos clones.

@saturncrush Awesome. NSBE lifetime member. Yes, it's the gakken/Japanese version of Coleco Pacman. I believe there are slight differences.

@armann7703 Wow! There's another previously unknown color? I hope someone finds one. Where did you grow up?

@@lindaguillory7802 ı'm grow up turkey. İn istanbul u have a this game 80s but. Now not find it😞😞

@armann7703 that is so awesome. Just learned about the company Motek in Turkey that made these. Still shocked that there's other colors. First saw the tan one in 2012. Twelve years spent thinking it only came in one color.

@RetroGamesCity unfortunately, I've put that stuff in storage and do not plan to take it out for a while. None of it is for sale.

@RetroGamesCity are they on the table? I stopped selling those months ago. No idea. Got my SNES on the table now. Hope to start listing SNES this weekend, but I'm distracted by the Olympics. Totally fanatic for all Olympic events.

@@timsmith8600 thanks Tim

@patricklarouche5818 crazy right? I wasn't looking for this. Was looking for something else when I saw it. I thought someone painted a sniper game. I thought, "What a shame." Then I looked closer, and I said,"At least they did a good job on the paint." The paint looked so good. I clicked on it and realized it was actually real. Seeing the Motek logo blew my mind.😃 Then to find two? Must be living right.

Awesome. Yes, that's super rare. Most people opted for Smurfs, Mickey mouse, or Ms. Pacman.

@@lindaguillory7802 Thanks!

I always forget to use my co-workers, but they actually have found obsolete chips, drop-in replacement chips, and pointed me in the right direction on a few game related items. I get more answers from them than any other forum. :) Now I need to see if MOTEK made any other games.

Most likely. I have three people interested in buying the whole thing, but as I'm not "motivated" to sell I'm not sure if they will offer a reasonable price. I also wanted to sell individually. We shall see. I'm also thinking of asking a local influencer with a ton of followers to sell on his site. I really hate eBay fees. What's your recommendation?

Thanks. I was shocked to find these. I'm with you, who the heck is Motek? I did a couple logo searches and found a similar one, but not the exact one. Someone has to be familiar with this company, but they are mostly likely in the Middle East, not sure they are watching.

Thank you. I wish I had more information on it for you. I can just tell you it was purchased out of South Korea. I only know of one other copy of this game. I've never seen it on any other collector's website. I had forgotten about the Arabic writing until I watched the video again. Truly a gem. I do have more games with Arabic writing now. I will try to see if I can find a connection.

@@lindaguillory7802 Thanks for the reply. And wow that must mean it’s much rarer than I thought! Keep up the collecting! I’d love to see more pac man themed videos in the future

LOL. Obviously you have 20/20 vision so you meet criteria 1.
