I picked up this interesting little machine, boxed and complete, the other day and I'm looking to give it to a good home. I hooked it up and tested it, as you can see below, and it works fine. It, and the box, are both are in remarkable shape.

The system will come with the box, all cardboard and packaging, manuals, AV cables, power brick for the system itself, controller, power brick for the controller (it also uses batteries and operates wirelessly via IR), remote control, karaoke microphone and phone cable.

Please make any reasonable offer in the thread, PM, e-mail (Epicenter713@gmail.com) or AIM (Epicenter713). Thank you!

Does it have any games or do you know a list of what games came out for it?

I wouldn't mind this, I have no idea how much to offer you though. Is it functioning still?

I know that, I'm thinking of the fun I could have with this baby providing I can get it running.

It works just fine-- note the pic. Powers up, plays some catchy tunes and goes to a GUI. The controller works and I'm able to navigate the GUI with it and every button functions. I know the modem works as I can hear it picking up and dropping the line. (I don't have a landline so I can't test that bit further) I also opened the unit to clean it, and didn't even find any dust inside, or any signs of damage-- it all looks and works brand new.

As for its functionality; I know it can do Karaoke (hence the front controls and mike jacks) but it apparently also runs Taito arcade games by some means. It has a 68EC020 processor inside just like most of Taito's 90s arcade hardware, and a card slot of unknown purpose-- I bet you can run software from it, however. Apparently this system was also meant to act as an internet access appliance.
