    Can't see the vid but I'll try have a look tomorrow. Maybe the batteries had higher hopes of being used in that GBC, and were unsatisfied about being used in the yellow thing, therefore leaking and hissing in protest.

    Always good to have photos, for insurance purposes. Some parts may not cost a lot, but when you add it all up, there can be hundreds or thousands in a collection.

    The bulk of my stuff is Dreamcast, some pictures taken a few years ago. Haven't added much since, off the top of my head, a couple of keyboards and 3 or 4 controllers. Maybe 5 or 6 Japanese games. Any missing PAL games are the rarer ones that still command high values.

    BTW, if anyone is looking for any DreamOn disks to complete a set, let me know, as I've got a few spares.

    I like the Invader 1000 console up there. I remember them well. I have a Grandstand Scramble myself in super condition. Noisy as hell though! No volume control on those yokes.

    Have a nice Atari Lynx set too, lots of boxed games, including an unusual KLAX cartridge. Some of the arcade ports to the Lynx are amazingly accurate, and still very playable. Any other Lynx fans here?

    Did someone say Lynx?? I WANT one of those - amazing little machine.

    Is the dreamOn the demo that came with the 'cast?

    BTW, that's a great Dreamcast collection. I like the way it's alphabetised

    you should upload all the pics to flickr or something similar so we can flick through all the pics at the same time!

    Thanks, I tend towards OCD myself, hence the order. I never spent loads on any particular item; most of the DCs were *faulty* and cheap, which I fixed; even the light guns, which were bought in pairs were cheap, can't remember exactly, but I'd say less than €15 for each pair, shipped from the UK. But it all adds up, in value and in space!

    The first DreamOn disk came with the DC; the rest of them came with the official magazine, 22 or 24 disks in total (21 or 23 magazines). There were a couple of "Collection" demo disks too; I believe there were 3. I have a text file somewhere with what's on what disk, if anyone's interested.

    A wonderful collection there, very nice indeed.
    Congratulations!

    A new collecting benchmark I reckon, one by which all others will be measured!
